Among other design and structural updates in the 7th edition, captions and figures are now presented differently. With over 1,000 figures, images are essential to enriching the text. To connect and for better reference, a small version of each image is shown on the same spread as it is mentioned in the text. For better clarity, new 'gallery' pages feature larger images that combine figures of note. Gallery pages are moments to pause, look closely, and make comparisons. #mhogd7ed #designhistory
