Stiffs, Skulls & Skeletons: Medical Photography and Symbolism by Stanley B. Burns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stiffs, Skulls and Skeletons is a unique and beautiful book of medical photography that will likely appeal to a very limited number of people. I happen to be one of those people. I was provided with an electronic copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. While my experience looking at these photographs and reading the fascinating histories was extremely enjoyable, I would imagine that the experience would be significantly better with a hard copy in my hands. It's hard to appreciate a book of photography while you scroll through it on your computer.
Other than this small complaint, I think this is a great coffee table book for anyone interested in medical history. It would be a pleasure to place you the desk of a doctor's office. The photographs are stunning and capture a great part of history which I am proud to be involved in.
