Often times I said that my career medical illustrator, of almost 50 years, has been a kind of "activity-oriented" in the sense that is developed as a response to the wishes and researching the medical profession. During those years made nearly 4,000 illustrations , mainly for The Ciba Collection of Medical lllusrtation, but also for Clinical Simposia.
These drawings were associated with varying areas of medical knowledge, such as anatomy, histology, embryology, physiology, pathology, diagnostic procedures, surgical techniques and therapeutic and clinical manifestations of various diseases. However, as much as years passed, more and more had requests from physicians and students to make preparation for an anatomical atlas clean. So was compiled Atlas who is in front of you, not as an inspiration of mine, but like most of my earlier works, such as the Medical fulfillment of desire.
Atlas consists of almost all the illustrations that I have developed for years, by selecting those that belong anatomy, arranging and organized by regions of systems and, by adjusting the size and space of the page and inserting in a logical ordering. Anatomy course not, but changing our understanding of the anatomy and clinical significance, as well as anatomical terminology and nomenclature. This has required an absolute majority modernization of old drawings and even revise their majority in order to fit the current expansion of medical and surgical practitioner. Also, I discovered that there had been mistakes in the presentation of medical knowledge presented in drawings that I had worked before and it was crucial to draw as many new illustrations are included in this book.
Having compiled an atlas of this, it is important to achieve the golden middle between inter likueshmërisë and simplicity. If drawings are immensely complicated, their meaning can become cumbersome and surprising; if they are too simplified may be missing the entirety of clarification, can even dezorientojnë. So, I'm trying to reach the average level of reality, without the pile of details prohibitive. I hope that students and members of the medical professionals and professions it will experience similar illustrations as easy to understand, instructive and useful.
Publisher and I thought to attach the introduction of any extraordinary anatomy and famous, but to such an there was so much that we could not t'a elected cessful any of them. We thought even in personalities like Vesalius, Leonardo da Vinci, William Hunter and Henry Gray who unfortunately are invincibility, but I honestly wonder what they would say to this Atlas.
