Practical Anatomy

PRACTICAL ANATOMY. By W. E. Le Gros Clark. Baltimore, The \XTilliams & Wilkins Company, 1949. 473 pp. $6.00. The second edition of this dissecting manual remains unaltered in scope. Revisions, additions, and the use of color have rendered its illustrations one of the main features of this new edition. The order of dissection is slightly different from that which is often adopted; however, the subdivision of each course of dissection into a series of separate sections facilitates alteration to suit local requirements. Hints on the art of dissecting contained in the introduction are poignant. Subjects for preliminary and supplementary study are indicated at frequent intervals for amplification of the dissecting-laboratory studies. Deliverance from the awkward and oftimes burdensome descriptive language used in textbooks of anatomy is admirably achieved. V. L. S.
