{"product_id":"2940150436701","title":"Surgical Anatomy","description":"PREFACE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe object of this work is to present to the student of medicine and the\u003cbr\u003epractitioner removed from the schools, a series of dissections\u003cbr\u003edemonstrative of the relative anatomy of the principal regions of the\u003cbr\u003ehuman body. Whatever title may most fittingly apply to a work with this\u003cbr\u003eintent, whether it had better be styled surgical or medical, regional,\u003cbr\u003erelative, descriptive, or topographical anatomy, will matter little,\u003cbr\u003eprovided its more salient or prominent character be manifested in its\u003cbr\u003eown form and feature. The work, as I have designed it, will itself show\u003cbr\u003ethat my intent has been to base the practical upon the anatomical, and\u003cbr\u003eto unite these wherever a mutual dependence was apparent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat department of anatomical research to which the name topographical\u003cbr\u003estrictly applies, as confining itself to the mere account of the form\u003cbr\u003eand relative location of the several organs comprising the animal body,\u003cbr\u003eis almost wholly isolated from the main questions of physiological and\u003cbr\u003etranscendental interest, and cannot, therefore, be supposed to speak in\u003cbr\u003ethose comprehensive views which anatomy, taken in its widest\u003cbr\u003esignification as a science, necessarily includes. While the anatomist\u003cbr\u003econtents himself with describing the form and position of organs as they\u003cbr\u003eappear exposed, layer after layer, by his dissecting instruments, he\u003cbr\u003edoes not pretend to soar any higher in the region of science than the\u003cbr\u003ehumble level of other mechanical arts, which merely appreciate the\u003cbr\u003efitting arrangement of things relative to one another, and combinative\u003cbr\u003eto the whole design of the form or machine of whatever species this may\u003cbr\u003ebe, whether organic or inorganic. The descriptive anatomist of the human\u003cbr\u003ebody aims at no higher walk in science than this, and hence his\u003cbr\u003enomenclature is, as it is, a barbarous jargon of words, barren of all\u003cbr\u003etruthful signification, inconsonant with nature, and blindly\u003cbr\u003eirrespective of the cognitio certa ex principiis certis exorta.","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122426757360,"sku":"2940150436701","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150436701_p0.jpg?v=1763753419","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150436701","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
