Overview

Froriep: Cranial End of the Notochord in Human Embryos, the first English translation of August Froriep's seminal study, steps into the pioneering world of 19th-century embryology. Originally published in 1882 as part of a festschrift honoring his mentor, Jacob Henle, this work remains a cornerstone of developmental biology. The volume begins with a biographical account of Froriep, highlighting his legacy as a student of the great Jacob Henle and his contributions to embryology, including the identification of Froriep's ganglion. A historical perspective on notochord research provides essential context, leading into the translated text of Froriep's classic paper. Froriep's study meticulously documents the cranial end of the notochord in human embryos, supported by precise descriptions of specimens ranging from 1.75 cm to 8.8 cm in body length. Accompanying the text are Froriep's original black-and-white illustrations, now reproduced in stunning full color to enhance their detail and accessibility for modern readers. The book captures Froriep's extraordinary scientific rigor and his ability to synthesize meticulous observations into enduring scientific conclusions. Ideal for anatomists, embryologists, and anyone fascinated by the history of science, this book offers a unique glimpse into the methods and insights of a master anatomist. It stands as both a valuable resource for understanding notochordal development and a timeless example of how scientific observation can yield lasting truths.

Author Information

Dr. Shoja's extensive research has produced numerous cutting edge findings including the discovery of the laterality of central respiratory control, the introduction of a new surgical approach for reinnervation of the paralyzed phrenic nerve in patients with high cervical spinal cord injury, the introduction of a new classification for the branching pattern of the renal artery, introduction of a novel laboratory model for neurosurgical training that simulates intraventricular endoscopic surgery, and the discovery of a new syndrome composed of hereditary gelsolin amyloidosis and retinitis pigmentosa and named ""Ardalan-Shoja-Kiuru syndrome"" after him and his research team. Dr. Shoja has published more than 500 research articles in internationally renowned biomedical journals. Currently, his h-index is 50. His research findings have been cited more than 14,000 times by independent scientists in the scientific community worldwide. Dr. R. Shane Tubbs is a clinical anatomist and practiced in pediatric neurosurgery at Children's Hospital in Birmingham for 25 years. Dr. Tubbs' research interests are centered around what his lab has termed ""reverse translational anatomy research,"" where clinical/surgical problems are identified and addressed with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm has resulted in over 2,100 peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Tubbs' lab has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and many anatomical feasibility studies from his lab have been used by surgeons from around the world. He has been a visiting professor to major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide and has trained over 100 international research fellows in his lab. Dr. Tubbs has authored/edited over 60 books including Gray's Anatomy Review, Gray's Clinical Photographic Dissector of the Human Body 1st-3rd editions, Netter's Introduction to Clinical Procedures, Anatomy for Plastic Surgery of the Face, Head, and Neck, Nerves and Nerve Injuries volumes 1 and 2, A History of Human Anatomy, the 5th through 9th editions of Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy and Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation. He is an editor for the 41st and 42nd editions of Gray's Anatomy and now the co-editor-in-chief of the 43rd edition, Dr. Tubbs serves as the editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Anatomy, which is the official journal of the American and British Associations of Clinical Anatomists and is the current President of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA).
