The history of anatomy extends from the earliest examinations of sacrificial victims to the sophisticated analyses of the body performed by modern scientists. The study of human anatomy can be traced back thousands of years, at least to the Egyptians, but the science of anatomy, as we know it today, did not develop until far development of the study of anatomy gradually built upon. The history of the book has its roots in bibliography, librarianship, and the intersections of social, cultural, and material history. It has emerged in recent decades as an academic discipline with its own undergraduate and postgraduate university courses, scholarly journals, monographic series, conferences, and research centers. It is methodologically diverse and interdisciplinary, situated. Our curriculum uses real, living books to help us learn about history- not a textbook. I will admit that I didn't even know what a "living book" was until several years into our homeschooling when I discovered Charlotte Mason. I had always used a textbook to learn about history in school, and I had chosen textbooks when I began homeschooling.
