Abstract
You live with it 24 hours a day. But how well do you really know it? These 32 lectures are your owner's manual to a remarkably complex, resilient, and endlessly fascinating structure: the human body.
Your guide is Dr. Anthony A. Goodman-surgeon, professor, and writer-who takes you step by step through the major systems of the body, explaining exactly how things work and why they sometimes don't.
Using detailed color illustrations, life-sized models, and, in one lecture, a video shot during surgery, Dr. Goodman gives clear descriptions of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) aimed at the level of the interested layperson. - from Amazon
