A lavishly illustrated compendium of the art and history of animal anatomy from antiquity to today
For more than two thousand years, comparative anatomy--the study of anatomical variation among different animal species--has been used to make arguments in natural philosophy, reinforce religious dogma, and remind us of our own mortality. This stunningly illustrated compendium traces the intertwined intellectual and artistic histories of comparative anatomy from antiquity to today. Stripped Bare brings together some of the most arresting images ever produced, from the earliest studies of animal form to the technicolor art of computer-generated anatomies. David Bainbridge draws on representative illustrations from different eras to discuss the philosophical, scientific, and artistic milieus from which they emerged. He vividly describes the unique aesthetics of each phase of anatomical endeavor, providing new insights into the exquisite anatomical drawings of Leonardo and Albrecht Dürer in the era before printing, Jean Héroard's cutting and cataloging of the horse during the age of Louis XIII, the exotic pictorial menageries of the Comte de Buffon in the eighteenth century, anatomical illustrations from Charles Darwin's voyages, the lavish symmetries of Ernst Haeckel's prints, and much, much more. Featuring a wealth of breathtaking color illustrations throughout, Stripped Bare is a panoramic tour of the intricacies of vertebrate life as well as an expansive history of the peculiar and beautiful ways humans have attempted to study and understand the natural world.Kundinnen und Kunden meinen
Not worth the money.

So this is just a bunch of images taken from free libraries, hundreds of years old, mostly uncolored.
Very disappointing. There are only a very very few actual fotos or colored drawings, and this is not what I imagined this would be. It's stupid. It's nothing from the modern day age, it's just a bunch of very old incorrect crap from the last millennia.
Don't buy it. I got it for 10 bucks because I used a THALIA voucher I bought from bonus points off a reward program, and I don't even think it's worth that much. It's a sold book cover, has a very decent size, yeah that's cool, the paper quality is very very good, but other than that- you will achieve more for your research purposes if you just use google image search or wikipedia.
