HUMAN ATLAS OF TOPOGRAPHICAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY

The monography entitled “Human Atlas of Topographical and Functional Anatomy. The Nervous System And Analyzers.” developed by a prestigious collective coordinated by Acad. Prof. PhD. M.D. Mircea Ifrim, is an absolute editorial novelty. The approach of numerous aspects of the complexity of “the human phenomenon”, which is the object of anthropology, is original through multiple aspects, out of which we mention the meta-psychological one, and at the same time, a reality that defines the constitutional typology in which we find multiple unknown data. At the same time, it is a reality which defines the constitutional typology. This monography contains fundamental elements, many resulting from both practical experience and author’s own research.
