A History of Anatomy: The Post-Vesalian EraA survey of the field from the publication of Vesalius' De Humani Corporis Fabrica in 1543 to the early 19th century when new legislation permitted human dissection. Written for a general readership, a selective account that treats some aspects only lightly or not at all. Among the topics that are included are the immediate successors of Vesalius at Padua, William Hunter and his legacy, professionalism and recognition, Ireland, Scotland, body snatchers and the trade in corpses, Germany, the New World, and fragments (primarily of knowledge rather than bodies) from the east.
