The biographical introduction gives a fascinating overview of Neils Stensen, who was called Steno. Steno, a native of Copenhagen in the 1600's, has been rediscovered as an anatomist, geologist, paleontologist, and theologian. His dissecting, analytic, and constructive skills were highly advanced, and his inquistive mind took him to explore other scientific fields. His lectures as an anatomist are contained here with illustrations of the brain. A hollograph on the cover shows us the brain in 3 dimensions.
