Summary
Constructive Anatomy: Includes Nearly 500 Illustrations, by George Brant Bridgman, was published in 1973. The catalogue files it under adult readers.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 14 books published in the 1970s. 3 reviewers here rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, against 5 in the broader raw-average pool. The sample-size-adjusted percentile discounts a sample that size.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this book against every other book those same people reviewed. Each rating is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline, so a reader who gives everything five stars is measured against their own five-star habit rather than against a stranger's. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Constructive Anatomy: Includes Nearly 500 Illustrations lands against every book we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — books published in the same decade, so a Victorian novel is judged against Victorian novels rather than against this year's releases. Ranked against 1970s books (15 books).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each book keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 3.
