From Conception To Birth: A Life Unfolds
Author: Alexander Tsiaras
This landmark book uses revolutionary technology that allows expectant parents to view stunning images of the development of an unborn child.
As a child grows and develops inside it's mothers womb, parents constantly ask each other, "What's happening with the baby now?" As a result of Alexander Tsiaras's remarkable achievements in medical imaging technology, they can turn to the pages of this extraordinary book for an answer at any point during the pregnancy -- from conception to birth.
From Conception to Birth is based on two revolutions in science. As biologists have decoded the molecular basis of life, computer scientists have developed three-dimensional techniques for scanning and displaying the body, which can isolate systems (nervous, skeletal, circulatory, etc.) and view them down to a molecular level. Tsiaras, a gifted artist and photo-journalist, became obsessed with this technology and founded Anatomical Travelogue, Inc., a New York-based medical imaging company. His scanning techniques promise a completely new way for doctors to examine and diagnose their patients, and also male it possible to track the development of human beings from the moment of conception.
If the science behind this book is fascinating, the images themselves are spectacular -- the never-before-witnessed process of human creation. Life unfolds before our eyes as it does in the womb, and the true wonder of gestation is revealed as we see the eye appear, the heart and lungs start to work, the hands grow and flex.
From Conception to Birth is a journey through life's origins, a voyage of extraordinary beauty and thrilling discovery.
