Preface:

More than 10 years have passed since the fourth edition of this volume was published. It has since become necessary to produce a completely revised new edition that takes into account the newest nomenclature. Rather than changing the tried and tested format, we simply enhanced and extended it. Particular mention should be made of the addition of color to almost all illustrations, which provides for better comprehension of anatomic rela-tionships. Various new findings have been incorporated and new clinical applications added. As the chapter “Peripheral Pathways” was very well received by the readers, all the illustrations from my Atlas of Topographical Anatomy, insofar as these concern the musculoskeletal sys-tem, were included. Those that relate to internal organs will be included in Volume 2.1n my opinion this addition nicely fills a gap. A series of illustrations was revised and various details shown more clearly. For ease of ref-erence, the individual chapters are distinctly separate from each other and the grouping of the chapters is clearly shown on separate introductory pages. The volume now has a thumb-index so that topics can be looked up quickly. All the new illustrations come from the master hand of Professor Gerhard Spitzer, whom I would particularly like to thank here for his good cooperation. These improvements were the result of many discussions with the publishers and I would especially like to thank Dr. Jurgen Luethje, Marianne Mauch, and Rainer Zepf as well as Albrecht Hauff for their assistance with the German edition, and Dr. Clifford Bergman, Gabriele Kuhn, and Gen. A. Krueger of Thieme International for their excellent management of the English edition. This book is proof that anatomy is alive—it lives within medicine as one of its fundamental subjects. I would like to thank all readers whose ideas are included in this new edition, and hope that it will be received just as well as the previous ones.
