From the Publisher:
The fifth and final volume of Richardson and Carman's award-winning translation contains fifteen chapters on the heart and respiratory organs and eighteen chapters on the brain and sense organs, plus a final chapter on vivisection. The volume concludes with a series of indexes, to the fifth volume and the complete set, which will greatly add to the usefulness of the translation. These include Dr. Richardson's translation of Vesalius's original index to the Fabrica, which represents Vesalius's outline of key discoveries and ideas in the Fabrica, and a set of cumulative indexes to all five volumes of On the Fabric of the Human Body.
About the Author:
First published in 1543, Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica libri septem inaugurated the modern study of anatomy, leading to the eventual overturn of the Galenic system that had dominated medical science for fourteen centuries. Although many editions, revisions, adaptations, and facsimiles of this work appeared over the centuries, remarkably it has never before now been translated (except for fragments) into a modern language other than Russian (Moscow, 1950-1954). The Richardson and Carman translation supplies a modern, accessible version of this monumental work for the first time.
William Richardson, MA, PhD, was educated at the Universities of New Zealand and Cambridge. He taught Greek and Latin language and literature in the Department of Classics at the University of Auckland from 1963 to 1998, and was Head of the Department in 1995 and 1996. His research field was the history of science and medicine. His other published works include an English translation of John Napier's Rhabdologia (1617).
Professor John Carman, BMedSc, MBChB, DPhil, was educated at the University of Otago and Oxford University. He was appointed Foundation Professor of Anatomy at the University of Auckland in 1968 and was chairman of the department until 1988. He has taught in all areas of the discipline, and has major research interests in biomechanics and the anatomy of the head and neck.
