Hi Shirley and Phil, Usually there is a nursing school or medical school somewhere near you, where you can order books. One of many popular beginner's texts, written for an audience that is probably similar to our PIEN folks, is Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine Marieb. The classic Anatomy atlas for medical students is Grant's Atlas. To look at the interior of the brain and spinal cord, you may wish to get an Atlas of Neuroanatomy. One example is Neuoranatomy, by Duane Haines. There are so many texts that you can easily find Marieb or Grant, or a substitute, but atlases of the brain like Haines's are scarcer. I was an Anatomy lecturer and laboratory instructor, and later, professor, for almost ten years, before PD got a hold of me. This includes the University of Minnesota for 3 years, in your midwestern area of the United States. If anyone on the list, needs help with PD-related questions about human anatomy, I can try to answer them. My specialty was teaching medical students how to dissect the entire body. I was not a neuroanatomist, however. My speciality was osteology (bones). Ivan Suzman :-) Hmm. ..Shirley, do you think "Human Anatomy for PWP's" is a book that needs to be written?
