Revolutionary computer images from the creator of <i>From Conception to Birth</i> reveal the wonders and complexities of every system in the male and female bodies.<br><br></b>The human body is a marvel of engineering. From the muscular and skeletal systems of the hand working in concert to allow us to type, eat, and caress, to the circadian rhythms of the heart and digestive system keeping things moving despite our consciousness being elsewhere, our bodies are far more complex and awe inspiring than any man-made creation. Not since Andreas Vesalius&#8217;s <i>On the Fabric of the Human Body, </i>illustrated by the scholar in the mid-16th century, has there been a work examining human anatomy for both the scientific and lay communities. <i>The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman</i> is the ultimate illustrated look at the internal structures and processes that sustain us as living, thinking, social beings.<br><br>Using the most advanced medical and computer technology&#8212;including body scans, ultrapowerful microscopes, and molecular surveillance tools&#8212;Alexander Tsiaras, founder of a widely acclaimed medical-imaging company, hones in on the body&#8217;s intricately constructed systems and isolates structures that have never been seen before. In more than 500 astonishing images, he dismantles each system, highlights the anatomical difference between men and women, and rebuilds the body from the molecular level on up. Barry Werth&#8217;s lyrical, informative text enhances the power of the images, providing an array of startling and fascinating facts. <br><br><i>The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman</i> is a milestone in science, art, and technology. As Werth writes in the Introduction, &#8220;For the first time we see the body not <i>like</i> something, or represented by human hands, or as a grainy negative or video, but very nearly as it is.&#8221;</p> 217016 19 10 2004 The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman: The Marvel of the Human Body, Revealed total:15|5:2|4:9|3:4| 15 58 30 5 3 0 false false Tue Apr 21 19:58:41 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 19:58:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Dec 21 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 24 14:25:45 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 14:26:41 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 11 15:20:37 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 11 15:22:11 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 20:12:39 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 20:13:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 09:02:23 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 09:02:23 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Oct 11 21:59:43 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 21:59:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 17:44:03 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 17:44:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 29 15:07:11 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 15:07:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 21:49:24 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 22:56:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 27 16:37:44 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 16:37:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jun 11 21:41:07 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 22:16:56 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 21:41:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 03 20:07:24 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 20:07:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 24 04:57:30 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 04:57:30 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 01 15:26:42 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 15:26:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 24 21:05:35 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 21:05:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Sep 14 02:48:03 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 02:48:03 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Aug 28 06:18:12 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 06:18:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 04 13:43:33 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 13:43:33 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jun 13 08:19:35 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 08:19:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Mar 25 11:35:10 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 11:35:10 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=224081
