the Content is Always Current
Elsevier, the leading publisher of medical and scientific
literature, announces the publication of the 40th edition of the most famous
anatomical reference in the world, Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of
Clinical Practice
(http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9780443066849)
in September 2008.
In celebration of its 150th anniversary, the new edition
provides meticulously enhanced and updated artwork throughout, while
maintaining the distinguished lineage of the original. With more than 200
completely new radiologic, CT, MR and other imaging studies vividly capturing
anatomy as it is seen only by physicians - and 2,000 images now in full color
- readers will have a consistent, coherent view of every anatomical detail.
"The 40th edition of Gray's Anatomy remains true to the
original intentions of Dr. Henry Gray and Dr. Henry van Dyke Carter, in that
it describes the anatomical basis of clinical practice, from the perspective
of leading clinicians and anatomists," said Editor-in-Chief Susan Standring,
Emeritus Professor of Anatomy at King's College, London. "The 39th edition
heralded a new era for the book - the Editorial Board took the radical
decision that the anatomy of the body should be described regionally rather
than systematically. Over the last four years, we have continued to update
not only the words, but also the illustrations in Gray's Anatomy. I hope that
readers will be as excited as I am by the hundreds of new artworks and images
which accompany the text in the 40th edition."
Also accompanying this innovative 40th edition is full-text
online access to Gray's Anatomy. As one of Elsevier's Expert Consult titles,
readers can reference the entire book from any computer, search the full
contents and download the thousands of high-quality color illustrations.
With the unrivalled artwork, convenient online access and
state-of-the-art coverage of new clinical findings, Gray's Anatomy, 40th
edition sets a new standard as the anatomical reference of choice.
