Books by Craig Watson

The sixth edition of this popular neuroanatomy atlas retains valuable features of prior editions: low cost and presentation of clinically relevant material in a manner conducive to self-study and review. The book has four parts. The first is a review of the organization of the nervous system, emphasizing the cranial nerves. The second is a summary of the neuroanatomical pathways with accompanying diagrams. The third summarizes the vasculature of the CNS, supplemented by illustrations of the arteries and veins with angiograms placed opposite the illustrations. The fourth is an atlas of the human brain and spinal cord with CT and MRI scans placed opposite the brain sections. With this edition, Basic Human Neuroanatomy becomes essentially an electronic book, although it remains available in print. This allows most of the figures to be in color, and the book to be loaded onto any device that can display a PDF file. An associated website features additional learning material.

Haunted by Cocteau's version of the Orpheus myth since 1968, Craig Watson collected a palimpsest of renderings, fragments and images from the Orphic tradition for the next 40 years. In 2008, he returned to these materials in the wake of a near fatal stroke.
