Synopses & Reviews
The Bassett Atlas of Human Anatomy preserves the meticulous work of the late David L. Bassett, M.D., of Stanford University, who spent a lifetime carrying out human dissections for use in teaching. With preface and figure legends by Dr. Chase, these 86 photographs, along with the accompanying line drawings, offer the next best thing to actual observation. It is an excellent reference for anatomy students in the lab, particularly valuable to students who do not have access to cadavers. This atlas is an inexpensive alternative to the vast and costly collections.

About the Author
Dr. Robert Chase received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1945 and with war-time acceleration, a M.D. degree from Yale in 1947. After military service time, residency training in surgery at Yale, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Chase joined the faculty at Yale. In 1963, he was appointed Professor and Chairman of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine and was named the first Emile Holman Professor of Surgery. In 1973 he took on an additional role as Acting Chairman of the Department of Anatomy. From 1974 to 1977, Dr. Chase served as President and Director of the National Board of Medical Examiners. In 1977 he returned to Stanford to become Chief of the Division of Human Anatomy, a position he held until 1992. In 1988, he became Professor of Surgery, Emeritus but he has remained active in teaching Human Anatomy. Dr. Chase has had a long-standing interest in the visual aspects of education. His participation in the VideoSurgery project with producer Jack Sughrue was visionary. At present, he continues to pursue his interest in the development of computer-based educational materials at Stanford.
