"The 40th edition of Gray's Anatomy remains true to the originalintentions of Dr. Henry Gray and Dr. Henry van Dyke Carter, in that itdescribes the anatomical basis of clinical practice, from the perspective ofleading clinicians and anatomists," said Editor-in-Chief Susan Standring,Emeritus Professor of Anatomy at King's College, London. "The 39th editionheralded a new era for the book - the Editorial Board took the radicaldecision that the anatomy of the body should be described regionally ratherthan systematically. Over the last four years, we have continued to updatenot only the words, but also the illustrations in Gray's Anatomy. I hope thatreaders will be as excited as I am by the hundreds of new artworks and imageswhich accompany the text in the 40th edition."
