The delicate linings of the body, from mouth to gut, form a single great system, argued the pioneering anatomist Xavier Bichat. This treatise examines the mucous membranes: where they lie, how they are built, and how their glands work. A foundational text of tissue anatomy. Study the body's hidden linings with a founder of histology.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
