Anatomy, Mimic, Plasticity.
The bestselling book "Anatomy of the Head" is finally available in English, extensively updated from the Bulgarian book known as "Atlas/Head" which received the prestigious "Book of the Year" Award. Its main author, Hristo Kirchev, specialises in the field of "plastic anatomy" and has been a teacher of the subject for 25 years. As a leading anatomist in his country, this publication is testimony to his expertise.
"Anatomy of the Head" is a comprehensive educational tool for teaching and explaining anatomic details, which makes it an excellent resource for students of medicine, nursing and dentistry, and for practitioners and specialists in plastic surgery and forensic science.
Its beautiful illustrations are unique in presenting essential factual information together with simple explanations of how the actions of the "mimic" muscles of out face and head influence the way we look and how we are perceived by others. By showing how anatomy relates to facial expressiveness, this book also has great appeal for artists and illustrators in the visual arts and fine arts, as well as for actors and mime artists.
The book contents:- Over 180 full-colour, detailed, graphical illustrations of different types of skull, skull structures and the mimic and motor muscles of the head
- Concise, complete, and easily accessible information
- Descriptive anatomical labelling in English and Latin
- Anatomical descriptions, functions and projections of every muscle, their effect on the appearance of the face and their practical relevance to the anatomy

"The best book in this field."
