One of photographyâ€™s watershed moments occurred in 1965, when the cover of Life magazine featured Lennart Nilssonâ€™s photograph of a living human embryoâ€”the first time life at such an early stage had been captured on film. His classic bestseller A Child Is Born featured stunning photographs of life in the womb and earned him the sobriquet â€œThe da Vinci of medical photographyâ€ (Chicago Tribune). Now, in this major work, Nilssonâ€™s extraordinary images encompass a full human lifespan.

Using the worldâ€™s most exacting equipment, Nilsson reveals the interior form of the entire human body and its intricate workings as never seen before, in a book that is as stunning to behold as its contents. Featuring thoughtful essays by both a noted scientist and a renowned editor, LIFE shines a penetrating light on all of lifeâ€™s fundamentals.
