Reconstructive Facial Surgery Techniques

Marcia have collected 66 works that are beautifully reproduced in colour plates and each is accompanied by a short essay giving a brief biography of the artist, an explanation of the topic and its relevance to treatment.They have particularly chosen to illustrate developments in treatment over many centuries from blood letting to liver transplants.The artwork is taken from 19th dynasty Egypt to contemporary painting so there is a wide spread of art styles.As the authors say, it is a book to observe and ponder.I certainly was made to ponder on the rather strange representation by Ken Currie of the 'The Three Oncologists' from Dundee.Treatment problems and dilemmas are discussed.There are illustrations from the exhibitions A Picture of Health: Paintings and Drawings of Breast Cancer Care and Living with Leukaemia and I was sad to learn that the artist Susan Macfarlane had died after an accident.Some of the information and pictures might even come in handy for preparing lectures (with due acknowledgement of course!).Choosing the works must have been difficult -there is an additional list of 154 works that are not illustrated -but the authors have helpfully provide the topic, artist and location of the paintings.
