aliseanna's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
5.0
Amazing photographs of anatomical waxes. Definitely not for the weak-hearted as the photos get very detailed, very quickly and probably not the best way I could have spent my time preparing for my anatomy midterm, but definitely a lot of fun if, like me, you enjoy getting a more visual explanation of how the human body works or at least looks from the inside.
The book is divided into chapters that each depict a different bodily system and start with one or two lovely paragraphs explaining what can be seen in the coming chapter as well as its historic significance and some interesting information about the work done in the Museo La Specola Florence.
All that's left to do now is to someday travel to Italy and visit all of its wax museums in real life to appreciate the dedication and hard work put into every single wax model.
