RT Journal T1 TExtbook of anatomy and physiology JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1939 FD September 16 VO 113 IS 12 SP 1159 OP 1159 DO 10.1001/jama.1939.02800370075056 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1939.02800370075056 AB The fact that this standard textbook on anatomy and physiology intended for nurses has reached its tenth edition means that the book has been tried and found to be useful, authoritative and readable. The new edition is superior in many ways to the previous editions. The illustrations are excellent. Many of the old illustrations have been redrawn and thirty new ones added. The authors have tried to keep the material abreast of the time by rewriting portions of the text that present new developments and new knowledge. The volume can be heartily recommended as an authoritative, well written, attractively bound textbook.
