The Hand

""The Hand: Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design"" is a book written by Charles Bell and published in 1834. The book explores the anatomy and physiology of the human hand, discussing its intricate mechanisms and vital functions. Bell argues that the complexity and precision of the hand's design are evidence of intelligent design, rather than the result of chance or natural selection. The book includes detailed illustrations and descriptions of the bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels of the hand, as well as discussions of the hand's sensory abilities and its role in human dexterity and creativity. Bell's work was influential in the development of modern hand surgery and continues to be studied and referenced by medical professionals today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
