The passage discusses the development of morphometry, a technique for precise quantitative description of organ morphology, which has been long hindered by time-consuming and primitive methods. Weibel has pioneered a practical morphometry technique by combining new mathematical formulations with existing methods, particularly from geology. This book, which includes Weibel's preliminary communications and detailed expansions, covers both theoretical aspects and practical application rules. While the system is not yet simple for routine use, it is now feasible and has already seen applications in pulmonary anatomy. The book is essential for those needing precise structural measurements. The review also mentions Cunningham’s Textbook of Anatomy, the 10th edition, which has been extensively revised to reduce length without sacrificing content. It features updated illustrations, radiographs, and the revised Nomina Anatomica, making it easier to read and more accessible. Another review discusses the Atlas of Human Anatomy, 17th edition, by Ferenc Kiss and Janos Szentagothai. The atlas, prepared over ten years, includes accurate illustrations but lacks novelty and attractive color schemes, despite high-quality paper. Lastly, the review of Electron Microscopic Anatomy, edited by Stanley M. Kurtz, highlights its significance in providing comprehensive information on submicroscopic morphology of mammalian tissues. Each chapter is written by an expert, covering various tissues with well-balanced text and figures. While the book is a valuable resource, it omits some notable tissues like the pituitary, lungs, and gonads. The editor's claim that the book contains definitive descriptions may be overly optimistic.The passage discusses the development of morphometry, a technique for precise quantitative description of organ morphology, which has been long hindered by time-consuming and primitive methods.
