The face: pictorial atlas of clinical anatomy. / Ralf J. Radlanski. London: Quintessence, 2012.
All surgical disciplines that deal with the human face must rely on an exact knowledge of its highly complex topographic-anatomical relationships. This atlas provides a unique contribution to the study of facial anatomy in which readers are allowed to explore deeper into the anatomy as the layers are stripped away, one by one.
