Puro físico Viaje al interior del cuerpo humano Del excéntrico museo La Specola en Florencia llega esta sorprendente colección de figuras de cera que representan la anatomía humana en toda su deslumbrante complejidad. Esta obra ofrece una selección de cuerpos de cera y estudios de partes y órganos del cuerpo de la colección del museo: varios esqueletos, la estructura de las venas, los órganos, los nervios, las arterias y los delicados poros de la piel. Mediante todos esos detalles el cuerpo humano aparece cartografiado con meticulosidad y exactitud. Los textos, que explican la anatomía humana en términos profanos y exploran el significado histórico y cultural de las figuras de cera, completan esta «experiencia total del cuerpo».

Vendeur : Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller, New Castle, CO, Etats-Unis
Softcover. Etat : Very Good. Few catalogues of science museums have the power to mesmerize their readers. Encyclopaedia Anatomica does just this, page after page, with its high-quality color reproductions of the collection of Florence's Museo La Specola. This amazing set of anatomical models, made mostly of wax, are so brilliantly lifelike that the casual reader is sure to mistake them for extraordinarily well-preserved bodies. Organized by anatomical section, each of hundreds of models are displayed to show off their most flattering aspect; despite the respectful attitudes held by the book editors and designers, the macabre nature of the exhibits is irrepressible. Particularly eerie are the tableaux of Gaetano Giulio Zumbo, who used similar techniques to create terrifying metaphorical portraits of the harsh life of the 18th century. While the descriptions aren't specific enough to yield much insight into the anatomical detail, this would still make an excellent companion to a text or laboratory manual. The introductory essays cover the history of the museum, the artists, and their techniques thoroughly and engagingly. If the inside of the body is as beautiful to you as the outside, you should find Encyclopaedia Anatomica a charmingly powerful work. N° de réf. du vendeur SKU2010028452
