 | BRS Gross Anatomy (Board Review Series) by Kyung Won Chung
Buy new: $31.23 / Used from: $23.96 Our course director absolutely hates this book, and he will do everything in his power to dissuade you from using this book. When asked, he will even deny its existence. However, the author of this book is one of your professors and it can be found useful on many occasions. (Fall)***

 | Essential Clinical Anatomy (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) by Keith L Moore
Buy new: $41.67 / Used from: $33.99 This text is about half the size of the recommended text book for the class, and it is written by the same author. The recommended text is much too large and dense to be very useful. The list author did not purchase or use this book, but many of their peers did. (Fall)*

 | Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (3rd Edition; Book & CD-ROM) by Stephen Goldberg
Buy new: $15.50 / Used from: $11.50 This is a nice book to use. The list author never used it, but many of their peers did. Lots of humor and a pet spider named Willis. (Spring)**

 | Basic Clinical Neuroscience (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) by Paul A Young
Buy new: $32.06 / Used from: $27.49 The required text for this class did not seem to follow the class very well, and it made for extremely dry reading. This book is much shorter, and it approaches neuro from a more clinical standpoint. It made a painful subject interesting for the list author, so it will not be left out. (Spring)**
|
 | Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems, North American Edition (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) by Duane E Haines
Buy new: $44.50 / Used from: $19.00 This book is a nice little atlas of brain dissections that many students used for the lab portion of this class. Not essential, but nice to either have or know someone who does. (Spring)*

 | First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 2009: A Student to Student Guide (First Aid USMLE) by Tao Le
Buy used from: $37.50 This book will really come into play more into your second year. However, it offers a complete explanation of Step 1. It would have been a nice book to peek at during MS1 classes to become familiar with important concepts. If you purchase this book, buy the latest version in Dec or Jan of your MS2 year to obtain the latest updates. Satisfy the gunner within.**
