The Art of JAMA pdf
Description

From the 1880s until the 1960s the weekly covers of The Journal of the American Medical Association displayed only a table of contents. On April 20, 1964, the JAMA cover featured a reproduction of Jan van Eyck's St. Jerome in His Study. Since then the art that graces the covers of JAMA and the accompanying essays have provided physicians with a refreshing pause in their busy days and also a topic of conversation. In the 1970s, M. Therese Southgate, MD, became the guardian of this tradition. The Art of JAMA features: -100 covers chosen from JAMA issues published between 1974 and 1987 -Each selection is accompanied by Dr. Southgate's straightforward and fact-filled discussion of the artist and the work -Essays describe the background of the artist and the circumstances under which the work was completed -Commentary on the work -Personal insights from Dr. Southgate Download The Art of JAMA for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
