Atlas of Functional Shoulder Anatomyby Giovanni Di Giacomo; Alberto Costantini; Andrea De Vita; Nicole Pouliart
Springer 2008; US$ 269.00The anatomy of the shoulder is based on complex joint biomechanics, which guarantee the coexistence of both maximum mobility and stability within the same joint. In recent years, diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance and arthroscopy have made it possible to study and better interpret those fine anatomical structures which were formerly very difficult to appreciate through "open surgery" dissection techniques that would compromise their integrity. Difficulties of technical nature, which today have been overcome thanks to technology, delayed the use of endoscopy in shoulder treatment thus filling the gap previously existing if compared with other joints surgery (i.e., knee). Shoulder arthroscopy, exploiting anatomical integrity,... more...

Craniofacial Anthropometryby John Kolar; Elizabeth Salter
Charles C Thomas 1997; US$ 64.95This book is a standard reference manual designed for a broad interdisciplinary audience of anthropologists, biomedical engineers, clinical dysmorpholo-gists, forensic scientists, psychologists, artists and medical illustrators, radiologists, reconstructive surgeons, and anyone else interested in the measurement of the human head and face. Unlike other anthropometric manuals, which describe the human body in great detail but largely ignore the head and face, this book is devoted to the accurate presentation of the head and face. After a brief history of the development of craniofacial anthropometry, this manual presents a comprehensive picture of the ingredients necessary to carry out rigorous study of the head and face, from the essentials... more...
Craniofacial Biology and Craniofacial Surgeryby Bernard G. Sarnat; James P. Bradley
World Scientific 2010; US$ 224.00This book is unique. It deals primarily with and brings together a wide-ranging group of essays spanning more than half a century's worth of research done by Bernard G Sarnat. Much of this historical review remains significant and germane today. Some material antedates the emergence of the specialties of craniofacial biology, craniofacial surgery, and bone biology, while many of the reports preceded the period of molecular biology. This book thus represents a fundamental pioneering contribution to a representative portion of the specialties. Building on past data reported by Sarnat, James P Bradley contributes significantly to the present by including recent works which cover issues dealing with stem cell, tissue regeneration and tissue... more...
Craniokleptyby Colin Dickey
Unbridled Books 2009; US$ 9.99The after-death stories of Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig Beethoven, Swedenborg, Sir Thomas Browne and many others have never before been told in such detail and vividness. Fully illustrated with some surprising images, this is a fascinating and authoritative history of ideas carried along on the guilty pleasures of an anthology of real-after-life gothic tales. Beginning dramatically with the opening of Haydn’s grave in October 1820, cranioklepty takes us on an extraordinary history of a peculiar kind of obsession. The desire to own the skulls of the famous, for study, for sale, for public (and private) display, seems to be instinctual and irresistible in some people. The rise of phrenology at the beginning of the 19th century only fed... more...
