eBook 정보

Written in the 1850s when its author was a young doctor, Gray's Anatomy was the most comprehensive and accessible medical textbook of its time. This edition comprises an abridged version of the classic 1860 text - the last to be published during Gray's lifetime - and the masterly wood-block illustrations that ensured the runaway success of the original book.

A national and international treasure, the original Gray's Anatomy is a pleasure to dip into or to consult in depth. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of medicine or in the amazingly complex machine that is the human body.

Early on in his career as a doctor, Henry Gray (c.1827-1861) showed a particular interest in anatomy. Aged just 20 he became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. After the award of fellowships by the Royal Society and the RCS, he was appointed house surgeon at St George's Hospital, London, and then lecturer in anatomy at its medical school. Gray died tragically young at the age of 34, after contracting a severe form of smallpox.
