Sprong -- Index. 330 $aThe 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. 606 $aMedicine  606 $aHealth 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aHistory 606 $aReproductive medicine 606 $aPopular Science in Medicine and Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q14008 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aReproductive Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H56002 615 0$aMedicine . 615 0$aHealth. 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aReproductive medicine. 615 14$aPopular Science in Medicine and Health. 615 24$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aReproductive Medicine. 676 $a610 700 $aLongo$b Lawrence D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058142 702 $aReynolds$b Lawrence P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254272203321 996 $aWombs with a View$92497426 997 $aUNINA
