In many ways this initial section of the book seems to read less like a medical book and more like a sales pitch trying to convince people to like the human body and accept the ‘beauty’ of the anatomy of the body.  This sales pitch like style is reminiscent of reading a sales catalog for floor tile or a flyer on the latest model of Fords or something.  Its more like copy writing than medical text.
