you seem to be sure about taking such copyrighted photos?!
All pictures from wikipedia.org are in the public domain under the creative commons (cc) licence. You may find free photos there (you only have to cite the URL)...
as an editor in chief for Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia I know that for the Wiley group you need the permission of the publisher (which you can get from their website). It is additionally and polite to ask the author for permission and with acknowleding his work it is usually no problem to get his permission.
It depends on the copyright license of the published data between the author and publisher. So first you ask permission from the publishers. If required then you can take permission from the author too. But one thing you keep in your mind the proper citation and credit is mandatory to mention whenever used. For photographs after getting proper permission you have to mention with courtesy of Mr. So n so. Etc.
According to my information you need your permission. Should distinguish two situations: the intellectual work (book) and the photo or image. the author is the holder of the intellectual property since he does the intellectual work (book). But he transfers the economic rights (us) of the intellectual property to the publisher by a contract. You should consult the contract and request the permission of the publisher. In the other hand, you can use a photo or image in your intellectual work (book, article, other) and in this case, you need permission to use it too. If there are people in that photo, you need their permission ( rights of own image),
You need permission. Depending on the rights agreements, the permission should be given by the Editorial (rights transfered in most cases) or the authors, in the cases that they retain the rights.
