{"product_id":"9781594746161","title":"The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black by E. B. Hudspeth","description":"Philadelphia. The late 1870s. A city of cobblestone sidewalks and horse-drawn carriages. Home to the famous anatomist and surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a 'resurrectionist' (aka grave robber), Dr. Black studied at Philadelphia's esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world's most celebrated mythological beasts - mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs - were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind?  'The Resurrectionist' offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his humble beginnings to the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black's magnum opus: 'The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray's Anatomy' for mythological beasts - dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus - all rendered in meticulously detailed black-and-white anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. 'The Resurrectionist' tells his story.;  192 pages; Published: 21\/05\/2013\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781594746161\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quirk Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457240347006,"sku":"9781594746161","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781594746161.jpg?v=1761335944","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781594746161","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
