Gil Hedley, Ph.D., is the founder of Somanautics Workshops, Inc., and has been teaching human anatomy dissection labs for many years. His rich experience is clearly evident as he guides us on an incredible and visually compelling journey into the human form.

Gil's exploration is exceptionally articulate and insightful. He begins with a thoughtful recognition and appreciation of the donors and the amazing gifts they give. His respect and gratitude for the donor's gifts, as well as a holistic view, are in the forefront throughout. Next, there is a general consideration of each cadaver's overall body shape and skin features, with time taken to note interesting details about texture, thickness and the like. As the skin is removed and reflected to reveal the superficial fascia of a man and woman, we become engrossed in the riveting images, and held there with insightful and thought-provoking narrative.

These dissection DVDs explore human anatomy with a profound new approach. By dissecting the whole human body simultaneously, the continuities of structure that span across the regions are surprisingly revealed. Taking you beyond the idealized drawings of the atlases and the excellent regional images of Acland's DVD Atlas, Hedley demonstrates the actual process of dissection, the relationships of one structure to another, and the connections across regions that make anatomy come alive. Further, the fascial structures, critically important for placing muscle and all other tissues in context, are given the full attention and exploration they deserve in this unique contribution to the field of human anatomy.
