Gathering together photographs of stunningly realistic wax anatomies from Florence's Museo La Specola, "Encyclopedia Anatomica" is a revealing journey through the human body.
• Although reduced, the the most important views and studies from the original Taschen volume have all been included.

"The Book is Better than the Museum! – Stumbled on the Museum La Specola on a trip to Florence about five years ago. The museum, which is primarily a museum of natural history, is run down and dusty. They save these anatomical models for the end of the self-guided tour.
• Even covered with dust, they are spectacular. Created towards the end of the 18th Century, they are cut-away wax models of the human body that were used to instruct medical students.
• They have been cleaned up for the pictures in this book. The pictures are great -- lots of large full-color pictures of the highest quality, perhaps because the publisher (Taschen) is a publisher of fine art books.
• As an aside, I saw a horror movie on TV one night in which one of these models was used as a freshly opened abdomen of a young woman who had been murdered by an evil doctor It looked pretty realistic.
• Anyway, buy the book, then go visit the museum when you're in Florence (it's next to the Pitti Palace)."
