Sprong -- Index.The volume provides an archive of some of the most beautiful illustrations ever made of the gravid uterus with fetus and placenta, which will serve future generations of investigators, educators, and students of reproduction. The approximately two hundred figures from over one hundred volumes included are from the late fifteenth through the nineteenth century. For each author whose work is depicted in this volume, we have used the first edition or first illustrated edition. In the commentary, each volume and illustration is placed in its historical perspective, noting both the significance of that image, but also some background on the life and work of the author. For most of the works cited, there are additional references for the reader who may wish to explore these in greater depth. This volume is a unique collection not only of these historical images, but also their place in the development of scientific study.Medicine HealthHuman physiologyHistoryReproductive medicinePopular Science in Medicine and Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q14008Human Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Reproductive Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H56002Medicine .Health.Human physiology.History.Reproductive medicine.Popular Science in Medicine and Health.Human Physiology.History of Science.Reproductive Medicine.610Longo Lawrence Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058142Reynolds Lawrence Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254272203321Wombs with a View2497426UNINA
