<p> BODY WORLDS and thus this catalog display something un­usual: anatomical specimens, produced and preserved ac­cording to a new process developed by Gunther von Hagens. This process — called Plastination — even makes it possible to lend rigidity to soft body parts (e.g., individual muscles, organs such as the lungs, or a single nerve). As a conse­quence, even specimens of the entire body can be inherently stabilized and posed in such a way that they are actually capable of standing, which was formerly restricted to skeletons. </p>
