by Kaitlin M. Walsh (Author)
Do you know what the sphenoid is? How about the ampulla of Vater? Or the organ of Corti? If the answer is yes, then this book of anatomical poetry and art is definitely for you. If not, then this book can still be for you, for it is here you can learn about and appreciate the intricate little structures and processes that make life possible. With humor and whimsy and poetic flair, Kaitlin Walsh brings to life the little dramas unfolding inside each of us. Ponder the romantic turmoil of the seven bones in the orbit, wonder at the diaphragm's deep and peaceful breath, despair with the coccyx, who always seems to feel left out. Delve into the stories that make up our physiology, and in the process, discover the countless ways in which anatomy is beautiful.
