Anatomy
Acts How We Come to
Know Ourselves
Edited by Andrew Patrizio and Dawn Kemp
258 pages (240 x 190mm) Price: £12.99 ISBN: 1 84158 471 1
Fusing history, imagination
and science, Anatomy Acts explores the social, cultural and scientific
significance of anatomy in Scotland over the past 500 years.
The range of 'Anatomy Acts' is wide, setting high points of Renaissance,
Enlightenment and 19th-century enquiry alongside the latest medical imaging
techniques, the work of contemporary artists and poets, and specially
commissioned essays on the history and culture of anatomy. The result
is an original and provocative perspective on a discipline that has played
a major part in the intellectual history of Scotland.
