Book excerpt: Walter Thiel's brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionize macroscopic anatomy because - owing to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain a lifelike color, consistency and position. These are the first dissections that accurately portray the human organs as they would appear to the operating surgeon. Thiel's new technique, his skills as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of unprecedented depth and clarity. Part II takes up where Part I left off, exploring the topographical anatomy of the upper part of the body while also illustrating joint punctures and serveral surgical approaches. This gives the atlas an exceptional scope, making it a valuable reference work not only for anatomists and pathologists but also for those working in surgical professions.
