I don't know how many people have gotten this book, but it's amazing. The illustrations are phenomenal. Tsiaras breaks down each system of the body in wonderful illustrations as well as some info about each one. Instead of most of the classic, boring anatomical position illustrations, he put bodies in motion so you can see what is going on w/ the muscles, bones, organs, etc. If you haven't already done so, check this book out. He's also put out other books similar like From Conception to Birth, which is the full illustration of embryology. I'm pretty sure he used full body scans as well as microscopy for his work which benefits those in healthcare. Check it out! Author's name is Alexander Tsiaras. They've also done some Discovery channel specials on his work if you want to check that out also.

I thought I recognized the title, can't get enough of the Discovery channel. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I'll use this opportunity to suggest another cool book, "An Anthropologist on Mars," by Oliver Sachs. It's an interesting read, if your into neuroscience.
 
Thanks Zoom, the reviews on the internet for that books look pretty good. Very interesting premise for a book. Probably have to check it out. I have a lot of free time this spring, so it's time to get caught up on some literature.
