Excerpt from Dissection of the Dog, as a Basis for the Study of PhysiologyThe directions for dissection have been divided into seven chapters, with the idea that a fresh dog would be used for each chapter with the exception of those upon the muscles of the shoulder and arm, the brain, and the eye, requiring therefore four dogs for the entire work, though a smaller number may be made to answer. To obtain the most satisfactory results, how ever, one must be careful not to attempt to dissect too much upon a single animal. When the student is at work upon the blood-vessels he should not be required to dissect at the same time the peripheral nervous system. A much better knowledge of the circulatory organs, especially of their relations to each other, will be obtained if they are dissected as a whole. After learning the anatomy of the blood-vessels the nerves can be dissected with greater success, and their rela tions to the arteries and veins determined more easily.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]It is the year 2049, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. Tania Deeley has always been told that she's a rarity: a human child in a world where most children are sophisticated androids manufactured by Oxted Corporation. Though she has always been aware of the existence of teknoids, it is not until her first day at the Lady Maud High School for Girls that Tania realizes that her best friend, Sian, may be one. If Sian could be a teknoid, how many others in Tania's life are not real? Wanting to understand what sets teknoids apart from humans, Tania begins to seek answers. But time is running out. For everyone knows that on their eighteenth ''birthdays,'' teknoids must be returned to Oxted -- never to be heard from again.
