Böcker av John L. Fox

Everyone knows that Richard III was buried in Leicester; everyone knows that he had a deformed body; everyone knows he had a twisted spine; everyone knows that one of his shoulders was higher than the other; because that was what Rous said. Before ever they carried out any of their "tests", before another "expert" had examined the remains, those pseudo-scientists had had all their previous "knowledge" about Richard confirmed. From that first glance, it was a foregone conclusion that they would have the "results" to confirm their initial judgment. The truth is that there is not one scintilla of credible evidence that Richard III had any anatomical abnormality. So any one claiming to have found his remains, because those bones show the person suffered from a twisted spine, is mistaken. The Leicester grave-diggers have not the bones of the King, because the King did not have a twisted spine. There is no reliable evidence of any kind of deformity in King Richard III. The body in the car park is not his.

Historic techniques, instrumentation and positioning, photographic techniques, cranial anatomy and the cranial flap, and intracranial anatomy as seen from the frontolateral or pterional approach are clearly discussed and illustrated from the operating (right sided) surgeons' perspective.
