This site presents a selective history of ‘the interaction between technology and the body’. It incorporates automata of the 16th-18th centuries, photographic and cinematographic records of bodies in motion from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Marey, Muybridge), and contemporary examples of ways in which science is mapping the outer and inner workings of the body, including the Visible Human Project. Previously available at: http://access.tucson.org/~michael/Intro.html, this site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine.

Previously known as Omni, this is an essential gateway to academic and related web-sites on all aspects of medicine including bio-medical research. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.
