弗兰克·奈特，Dr.FRANK H.NETTER exemplified the distinct vocations of doctor, artist,and teacher. Even more important--he unified them. Netter's illustrations always began with meticulous research into the forms of the body, a philosophy that steered his broad and deep medical understanding. He often said: \"Clarification is the goal. No matter how beautifully it is painted, a medical illustration has little value if it does not make clear a medical point.\" His greatest challenge and greatest success was charting a middle course between artistic clarity and instructional complexity. That success is captured in this series, beginning in 1948, when the first comprehensive collection of Netter's work, a single volume, was published by CIBA Pharmaceuticals. It met with such success that over the following 40 years the collection was expanded into an 8-volume series--each devoted to a single body system.
In this second edition of the legendary series, we are delighted to offer Netter's timeless work, now arranged and informed by modern text and radiologic imaging contributed by field-leading doctors and teachers from world-renownedmedical institutions, and supplemented with new illustrations created by artists working in the Netter tradition. Inside the classic green covers, students and practitioners will find hundreds of original works of art--the human body in pictures--paired with the latest in expert medical knowledge and innovation and anchored in the sublime style of Frank Netter.
