Synopsis
A veritable cathedral to the human form They say that learning its arrangement is like learning the road map of an entire country. It has for centuries been the site of the most concentrated human enquiry, and while many of its mysteries have been solved, it continues to fascinate, provoke and disturb. An understanding of the anatomy of the human body remains the foundation of medical science. It has intrigued everyone from the Greeks through to Leonardo da Vinci. And it fascinated the curious of the 18th century. Witness the eccentric Museo La Specola in Florence, a waxworks celebration of the interior. With 27 wax bodies and 1500 part and organ studies, collected by Peter Leopold von Lothringen from places as diverse as churches, hospitals and universities, this is a veritable cathedral to the human form. Whether it be the skeleton or vein structures, organs or nerves, arteries or the complexities of the skin, all are here reproduced in extraordinary detail.

    The book, First Christmas, by Tomie dePaola, arrived earlier than expected and in pristine condition. The seller was both honest and fair in our dealings. I had requested Priority Mailing. She unintentionally missed the request. After mailing, the seller realized the mistake and immediately notified me. She apologized and refunded the expense of Priority Postage! The book arrived in plenty of time! If opportunity arose to purchase from evesbookgarden again, I certainly would!

    Das Buch entspricht genau der Beschreibung, ich bin sehr glücklich über die Erwerbung. Die Kommunikation mit dem Verkäufer war sehr angenehm und Rückmeldungen erfolgten angemessen zeitnah. Insbesondere die gute Kooperation möchte ich erwähnen, welche der Verkäufer in der Bewältigung eines Problems mit dem Zoll bei der Einfuhrprozedur gezeigt hat. Sehr angenehmes Geschäftsverhältnis, Danke!
