520    The classic medical text known as Gray's Anatomy is one of
       the most famous books ever written. Science writer Bill 
       Hayes has written the never-before-told story of how this 
       seminal volume came to be. With passion and wit, Hayes 
       explores the significance of Gray's Anatomy and explains 
       why it came to symbolize a turning point in medical 
       history. But he does much more: uncovering a treasure 
       trove of letters and diaries, he illuminates the 
       relationship between the fiercely gifted young anatomist 
       Henry Gray and his younger collaborator H. V. Carter, 
       whose exquisite anatomical illustrations are masterpieces 
       of art and close observation. Tracing the triumphs and 
       tragedies of these two extraordinary men, Hayes brings an 
       equally extraordinary era--the mid-1800s--unforgettably to
       life. The book also chronicles Hayes's year as a student 
       of anatomy, performing with his own hands the dissections 
       and examinations detailed by Henry Gray 150 years ago.
