Customer Reviews

Get a REAL atlas
If you have the Tortora book, then you do not need this atlas. I would highly, highly recommend that you do not waste money on this atlas. Spend a few more dollars and get a copy of the Netter's atlas for students. Trying to use this atlas in my human anatomy lab/class (intro) has been nothing but annoying. Many important landmarks are overlooked and I have repeatedly had to refer to Netter's to figure out where landmarks are. Avoid this atlas and save your money and frustration.

A Must for any Pre-med and Med student
I'm a pre-med student, and when I first heard about this book from my professor, I was a bit skeptical that it would help me or anyone that wasn't already in med school. But when I got it, it was clear and easy to follow. The pictures weren't some badly drawn figurines, or a mess of grey, unidentifiable body parts, they were real photographs of the skeleton which were, thank goodness!, easy on the eyes. I might not be in med school yet, but I'm making sure I have this book with me. As a revision and reference book, this one is the greatest!

Real Human Remains
This atlas is helpful in the Anatomy Lab when we work with cadavers. At first, I read the title and thought that most of it will be with animal (cat, sheep and cow) body parts, but it isn't. During the practical tests we get to work with real stuff so no coloring of usual anatomy atlases is present. This one is very accurate and this is what you should expect going into Anatomy Lab. The only downside is that it does not cover crazy details.
