"The study of anatomy is often a challenging endeavour for many medical students. Central to the learning process is the use of a good textbook. Two of the most often recommended texts for medical students areGray''s Anatomy for Students(GAS),descended from the iconic text by Henry Gray, andClinically Oriented Anatomy(COA),by Moore, Dalley and Agur.   "Both texts employ a regional approach to the study of anatomy.GASseparates each chapter into four sections:Conceptual Overview, Regional Anatomy, Surface AnatomyandClinical Cases.The conceptual overview aims to provide the very basic concepts of each region in a concise summary before moving on to an increasingly detailed description. While this approach may be useful for the beginner or reviewer, the inevitable repetition creates a degree of redundancy.COApresents information in a ''bones up'' format, progressively adding surrounding structures before detailing the arthrology of each region. Each chapter concludes with a series of radiographic images to complement integration and understanding.   "Certain striking distinctions are evident in the textual quality of each book.GASaims to strip away irrelevant information into an easy-to-read summation while leaving intricate details for other texts. While this provides an excellent introduction for the neophyte,COAincludes more rigorous explanations concerning the finer points and the complex interaction with surrounding structures. An enlightening example of the differing styles can be observed through the treatment attributed to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. A concise, tabular description of muscular attachments, innervations and basic function is provided inGASin association with a stylised diagram indicating its position in the neck. Conversely,COAdevotes an entire four page sub-section to a detailed discussion of the manner in which body position and the use of synergist muscle groups can alter function of the SCM beyond an isolated view of the muscle acting independently in the anatomical position. Thus, while simplified to enhance the initial integration of basic concepts,GASmay simultaneously perpetuate certain erroneous notions concerning the nature of anatomical function. On the other hand, the text inCOAmay reduce its effectiveness for the uninitiated, whileGASmay prove to be too simplistic for the interested student.   "Both books approach diagrammatical representation through the use of computer-generated imagery, though distinct dissimilarities are visible.COAdepicts each region by incorporating detailed and realistic diagrams which are thoroughly labelled. In contrast,GASrepresents analogous images through a distinctly stylised fashion. Major structures are portrayed in an idealistic mode, which, in combination with relatively sparse labelling, may impede practical application, particularly in medical courses focussed on anatomical dissections. However the simplified overview, devoid of extensive detail, is potentially easier to comprehend for the less experienced anatomist. In addition to detailed, accurate labels,COAconsolidates diagrammatic elements through representations in various anatomical planes. The depiction of distinct layers within each system aids the appreciation of the detailed nature of such structures. Ultimately,COAassociates these illustrative characteristics through the use of numerous, detailed figures within each specified anatomical region. The use ofCOAmay prove to be beneficial, both in dissection and in providing a broader scope of understanding.   "The integration of clinical aspects throughout a text is essential to the effective understanding of anatomical information.

    Thanks 2 This Seller 4 Delivering An Item Exactly As It Was Pictured, & Described 2 B N. I Was Concerned At 1st, When Finding The Package N My Mail Box, As I Heard It Rattle, So, Not 2 Agrivate It Any Further, I Was Very Careful Upon Opening It, As I Found That The DVD Was Loose, & Not On The Hub Within The DVD Case. From My Past Xperiences, This Is Usually A Bad Sign, As The DVD's R Usually Scratched, But Luckily, This 1 Still Arrived N Xcellent Cond. I Highly Recommend This 'Saved' Seller! 👍

    Far and away the ugliest seller I have encountered in more than 20 years. (eBay tells me it's 21.) Sent a book described as good, but it was underlined IN INK from cover to cover!!! Mistakes can happen, but this seller ignored three emails, and when I submitted photos and asked for a full $21.39 refund for this worthless book, I was offered $4.99. She just wanted to get me irritated all over again. When eBay intervened and saw photos, a full refund was immediate. Avoid her like the plague!

    Shipping: Shipped the day of the sale; arrived in 5 days in my city, but then the post office sent my package to Colorado. It took another 10 days to get delivered. Packaging: as expected As described: described as NEW. The books do look NEW until you at the page edges which are tanned to almost yellow. Books were probably never read, but they probably sat in sunlight for a long time. Value: Despite yellow-tan page edges, these books were a great value.

  • Good book but...

    This is a good book (not the best though). Unfortunately it was received with an almost broken spine and since the book is very heavy is going to break apart very soon. I had to tape it to slow down the breaking process.
