this book is written around 1869! count and its like 140 years ago!!!!
i dont really remember but its pretty obvious that in 1800s, no such thing called electron microscope or whatever sophisticated devices yet. however without those someone can actually figured so much about the human anatomy and look at these pictures drawn... they are amazingly beautiful!
it's a wonder to see these pictures. i truly admire them.
...
i guess many has been contributed whether the one viewed or the one being viewed as its not about one or two dissections. in order to examine those parts by parts to have a clearer and better view, well indeed needed tonnes of hardwork, determination and interest.
...
it's even more impressive how one from that era is able to study this anatomy thing. even though i only had little time to only flipped through the pages, from the drawing there's not much difference of 140 years ago and today's knowledge.
...
ever wonder who's that great person?
...
henry gray! ya, thats the one with dr.carter and dr.westmarcott produced such brilliant work. the book called anatomy by gray...anatomy gray.....gray anatomy..... sounds familiar??? perhaps thats how the show grey's anatomy earns the name. hah! just some wild guess.

on the other hand, malaysia which most malaysians know this name is declared replacing tanah melayu at the year of 1963. since then, we are known as malaysians and malaysia is known as malaysia worldwide.
...
but to my surprise, the name malaysia is not smtg new in fact it is pretty well known by the reseachers, ecologists and botanists many many years back. look.... this is smtg found in a book written in 1923.
i'm not sure how malaysia got its name but from this piece of evidence we know that malaysia has long existed. foreigners basically british has used this name in their researches.
...
at that time, malaysia back then is known as huge as what we learn as southeast asia of today.
...
but god knows how, the name doesn't seem to be used elsewhere and soon it seems to be vanished until someone in our country decided to rename 'tanah melayu' as malaysia.
...
its a wonder now to me why the name no longer be used and who decided on the name of our country and how the name came across that particular person.
...
whatever it is, i feel shameful as i don't seem to know my country well. *sigh... history in school should plays a better role
