Mit den KÖRPERWELTEN der Tiere hat Gunther von Hagens zusammen mit Angelina Whalley eine neuartige Tierwelt geschaffen, die faszinierende Einblicke in die Anatomie unserer tierischen Verwandten bietet. Diese Ausstellung ermöglicht es auch medizinischen Laien, tiefere Kenntnisse über die Struktur von Tieren zu erlangen, was selbst Veterinäre überrascht. Durch die ästhetische Präsentation anatomisch präparierter Tierkörper wird der Tod zur Quelle anschaulichen Wissens über das Leben und fördert das Bewusstsein für den Artenschutz. Der Katalog umfasst 152 Seiten mit außergewöhnlichen anatomischen Präparaten, die nach einem neuartigen Verfahren konserviert wurden. Neben medizinisch-anatomischen Betrachtungen verschiedenster Tiere von Bär bis Yak enthält er spannende Beiträge zu Knochenbau, Muskulatur, Nervensystem und Organen. Die Kapitel gliedern sich in Themen wie die Entstehung der Ausstellung, Plastination und tierische Anatomie, mit Beiträgen von Gunther von Hagens und Angelina Whalley. Die ansprechende, farbige Gestaltung des Katalogs weckt das Interesse an der zugrunde liegenden Ausstellung und bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die faszinierende Welt der tierischen Anatomie.
