Summary: This volume carries the spirit of anatomy: a sometimes obstinate spirit, old-fashioned and bespectacled. A spirit that approaches its subjects with a somewhat disrespectful tone. The book is not a textbook on anatomy; rather, the author offers some quirky perspectives on various anatomical topics and transforms them into witty and entertaining stories about the peculiarities of anatomy. A special gift for medical professionals, natural scientists, and all medically curious laypeople.

About the author: Helmut Wicht is a PhD biologist and a private lecturer in anatomy at the Dr. Senckenberg Institute of Anatomy at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main.
