Netter exemplified the CUSHING’S SYNDROME IN A PATIENT WITH THE CARNEY COMPLEX distinct vocations of doctor, artist, and teacher. Even more importantly— he unified them. Netter’s illustrations always began with meticulous research into the forms of the body, a philosophy that steered his broad and deep medical understanding. He once said, “Clarifi Carney complex is characterized cation is the goal. No matter how beau by spotty skin pigmentation.

It met with such success that over the following 40 years the collection was expanded into an eightvolume series—each devoted to a single body system.

Inside the classic green covers, A brand new illustrated plate painted by Carlos Machado, students and practitioners will find hundreds of original MD, for The Endocrine System, vol. 2, 2nd ed. works of art—the human body in pictures—paired with The single-volume “blue book” that paved the way the latest in expert medical knowledge and innovation for the multi-volume Netter Collection of Medical and anchored in the sublime style of Frank Netter. Illustrations series affectionately known as the “green Noted artistphysician, Carlos Machado, MD, the books” primary successor responsible for continuing the Netter tradition, has particular appreciation for the Green Book series. “The Reproductive System is of special signifi cance for those who, like me, deeply admire Dr. Netter’s work. In this volume, he masters the representation of textures of different surfaces, which I like to call ‘the rhythm of the brush,’ since it is the dimension, the direc tion of the strokes, and the interval separating them that create the illusion of given textures: organs have their external surfaces, the surfaces of their cavities, and texture of their parenchyma realistically represented. It set the style for the subsequent volumes of Netter’s Collection—each an amazing combination of painting masterpieces and precise scientific information.” Though the science and teaching of medicine endures changes in terminology, practice, and discovery, some things remain the same. A patient is a patient. A teacher is a teacher. And the pictures of Dr. Netter—he called them pictures, never paintings—remain the same blend of beautiful and instructional resources that have guided physicians’ hands and nurtured their imaginations for more than half a century. The original series could not exist without the dedi cation of all those who edited, authored, or in other ways contributed, nor, of course, without the excellence Dr. Carlos Machado at work of Dr. Netter. For this exciting second edition, we also owe our gratitude to the authors, editors, advisors, and artists whose relentless efforts were instrumental in adapting these timeless works into reliable references for today’s clinicians in training and in practice. From all of us with the Netter Publishing Team at Elsevier, we thank you. THE NETTER COLLECTION OF MEDICAL ILLUSTRATIONS v ABOUTTHEAUTHOR Bryan E.
