I love this book. I think it is a "must have" for anyone taking any upper division course in Human Anatomy. Color Atlas of Anatomy is a very usefull tool/study aid for lab practicals (study with-out the smell) and is wonderful for showing you what your cadaver dissection should look like. For those who are taking Human Anatomy with-out dissection, I recomend this book even more. The Atlas will give you a true feel of where things are in the human body and you will be able to see structures in relation to one another in a real body rather than in a model or a drawn picture. I highly recommend Color Atlas of Anatomy to anyone!
If you know what formaldehyde and cadaver smells like, then you know that you need an anatomy guide that is a little more realistic than Netter's or Grey's anatomy. I love the detail in this book. As a chiropractic student, our spinal labs include a detailed dissection of human muscle, nerve, bone, fascia, etc. I would be lost in my spinal anatomy lab without this book. I try to spend as little time as possible with our cadaver (whom we affectionately call "Grandma Martha") and this book allows me to study the material on my own and still see accurate color and awsome detail. The best part is that everything is labeled. My only gripe about this book is how it is organized. You will need to spend a little time tabbing the important parts so you are not constantly flipping back to the index to find your specific body part. The bottom line - buy this book!! I hope this helps.Read full review
I bought this book to replace hours of studying in the lab on real cadavers for my gross anatomy class in medical school. The pics in it are real and on a dissection that was performed by a professional, so all of the gross anatomy structures were easy to see. There are many different pics and different angles of pics. All of the structures (and many more) were listed in this book. I found it very helpful and time efficient.
Book was in very good shape. Very pleased
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I love that this book was never used even though it is an edition behind you can't beat the price for a wrapped hard-bound book. It is a great book and the new edition isnt that different than this one buy it if you can find it peeps.
