Reviews

Los Angeles Times - September 16, 2003
"None of us is alike inside our bodies, which should come as no suprirse, since people are plenty different on the outside. Why should variability, like beauty, be only skin deep? Yet most anatomy textbooks don't discuss this kind of variation...says [Ron] Bergman, who's been compiling a compendium of these differences for decades. Read about it in Bergman and colleagues' online book at www.vh.org/providers/textbooks/anatomicvariants/anatomyhp.html"
