primary successor responsible for continuing the Netter
tradition, has particular appreciation for the Green
Book series. “The Reproductive System is of special signifi­
cance for those who, like me, deeply admire Dr. Netter’s
work. In this volume, he masters the representation of
textures of different surfaces, which I like to call ‘the
rhythm of the brush,’ since it is the dimension, the direc­
tion of the strokes, and the interval separating them that
create the illusion of given textures: organs have their
external surfaces, the surfaces of their cavities, and
texture of their parenchyma realistically represented. It
set the style for the subsequent volumes of Netter’s
Collection—each an amazing combination of painting
masterpieces and precise scientific information.”
Though the science and teaching of medicine endures
changes in terminology, practice, and discovery, some
things remain the same. A patient is a patient. A teacher
is a teacher. And the pictures of Dr. Netter—he called
them pictures, never paintings—remain the same blend
of beautiful and instructional resources that have guided
physicians’ hands and nurtured their imaginations for
more than half a century.
The original series could not exist without the dedi­
cation of all those who edited, authored, or in other
ways contributed, nor, of course, without the excellence Dr. Carlos Machado at work
of Dr. Netter. For this exciting second edition, we also
owe our gratitude to the authors, editors, advisors, and
artists whose relentless efforts were instrumental in
adapting these timeless works into reliable references
for today’s clinicians in training and in practice. From
all of us with the Netter Publishing Team at Elsevier,
we thank you.
