Atlas of Topographical and Applied Human Anatomy, Vol. 1: Head and Neck Hardcover – January 1, 1980

This book was better than the Vol 2 and was almost brand new.I couldn't have purchased a better item !!

Book by a Nazi. Cadavers used were people executed based on political grounds, supposedly. Unclear if concentration camps prisoners were used. Book should not be used on moral grounds, American publisher discontinued publishing, as far as I know. There has been extensive research on the Nazi author, illustrators. There are lots of alternatives as far as Anatomy texts and illustrations.

Quality of the book is not quiet fit with the description which was at amazon....

His views go against the Hippocratic Oath. What's wrong with boycotting Pernkopf's book and those who publish it? Not boycotting it, would only encourage future Pernkopfs.
