This book contains all of Leonardo Da Vincis drawings on the heart and its physiology; accompanied by re-translations of all of the associated notes. All Leonardos drawings have been interpreted in the light of modern knowledge by a practicing cardiac clinician and anatomist. The veracity of his work is proven against contemporary dissections of cardiac structure and comparison of his illustrations with contemporary images generated by Magnetic Resonance scanners and high definition ultrasound will astound the reader. Perhaps the most interesting element is the re-dissection of the Ox heart set against Leonardorsquo;s own drawings. His place in the greater scheme of anatomical development will be put into context with his ideas of manrsquo;s place in the microcosm/macrocosm continuum.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Kasyo MatidaBy German ShepherdI rated this 3 stars instead of the 5 I would have given it; had it not been so expensive (i.e.; cost per page). This was written in 1938 by Kasyo Matida (the newer date is in reference to its re-copyright date; rather than a change in content; and its actually 2009; not 2005). It covers the various schools of Japanese dancing; including their origins (e.g.; Nishikawa [both schools; Tokyo and Nagoya]; Hanayagi etc.); so it is interesting from that aspect. It was written as a tourist guide and published by the Board of Tourist Industry; Japanese Government Railways.
