This magnificent art book re-creates an extremely rare 1849 guide to anatomy; originally compiled for "artists; painters; and sculptors." Unavailable for more than 150 years; this classic work features 30 plates with 105 highly detailed and finely executed black-and-white lithographs. These realistic and meticulously accurate drawings illustrate form as well as function; offering artists a mastery of anatomy through careful; knowledgeable articulation of the muscles and bones beneath the skin. Each image appears with an identifying caption; and this new edition offers the convenience of a CD-ROM that includes every illustration from the book. In addition to its value as a resource for practicing artists; this beautiful browsing book will captivate anyone who has an interest in the human body.

Small Screen ScaresBy Michael ThomsonJohn Kenneth Muir looks at American horror television between the years 1970-1999 (the book was published in 2000) and comes up with some surprising critiques. As a long standing fan of Darren McGavins 1970s series Kolchak; The Night Stalker; I was pleased that Muir doesnt dismiss the series a campy trash. He liked The X-Files and Buffy; The Vampire Slayer but had me taking a second look at Friday The Thirteenth; The Series which probably wasnt as good as I had thought back in the day. Neither was HBOs The Hitchhiker and even Tales From The Crypt (though Muir did like the Crypt Keeper). I found myself taking a second look at some series (Tales From The Darkside and Foxs short-lived Werewolf for instance) I had previously dismissed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. John Kenneth Muir Rocks!!By Michael A LuongoGreat book!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Twin Peaks Is Terror Television; Really???By Mr. Math ExpertTwin Peaks is one of the worst television shows of all time.How anyone can survive watching second season in full is beyond me. If you liked it and will defend it to death; your brain definitely must have melted. The reason why it was promptly canceled is because it literally lost millions of viewers in a matter of weeks.With the exception of Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt; the rest of the shows are not worth bothering with. The book is too thick and filled with junk information.All in all; pass this one.
