Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Cadavers, camera, action!" (The New York Times Book Review). From the advent of photography in the 19th and into the 20th century, medical students, often in secrecy, took photographs of themselves with the cadavers that they dissected: their first patients. Featuring 138 of these historic photographs and illuminating essays by two experts on the subject, Dissection reveals a startling piece of American history. Sherwin Nuland, MD, said this is "a truly unique and important book [that] documents a period in medical education in a way that is matched by no other existing contribution." And Mary Roach said Dissection "is the most extraordinary book I have ever seen--the perfect coffee table book for all the households where I'd most like to be invited for coffee." As early as the 1840s, against admonishments to maintain secrecy, medical students and their instructors began to create photographic images of themselves centered around cadavers in dissecting rooms.

These photographs were made in a surprising variety of forms, from "cartes de visite" to postcards to staged dark humor scenes. "Dissection" features 135 extraordinary examples of this collaboration of early photography and medicine, with illuminating essays by two experts on the subject. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
