Review of Essential Clinical Anatomy (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)

I still have yet to find the ultimate text for use with anatomy.The Moore volume is probably the best to use as your main text when taking either undergrad anatomy or gross.As with any anatomy text - you will always need supplemental resources - esp. if you are taking gross anatomy.The selection that I had always found useful in the past was the triple combo of Moore's text, Grant's dissector, and Netter's Atlas.With these three you have essentially everything you need for taking gross anatomy - the embryology texts that are usually used for gross anatomy vary, but often contain the same exact info - I feel that is a more individual choice.
I find the Moore text to be very concise - drawings are clear and well labled - good discussion questions at the end of chapters - and the book is very well laid out, esp. in the always intense "head and neck".I highly recommend this volume.

Review of Anatomy: A Regional Atlas of the Human Body (ANATOMY, REGIONAL ATLAS OF THE HUMAN BODY (CLEMENTE)) (Paperback)

You couldn't ask more from an atlas.It has good drawings, radiographs, accompayning text, and muscle charts.The pictures are easy to follow, and don't crowd the structures with excessive labeling (Netter).What's the big deal with the beauty of his drawings anyway?I purchased a Clemente atlas without the CD and reccommend it that way unless you want to pay twice as much to have the same information in two forms.

Review of Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy, DVD 5: The Head and Neck, Part 2: Disc 5 (DVD-ROM)

This video prosection of the head and neck is a beautifully prepared, expertly produced aid to the study of anatomy. Having done a dissection course in anatomy, I could not and did not perform as expert a dissection as this video series does. You see cross sectional anatomy that is seldom presented in a formal anatomy lab. Your three dimensional understanding of anatomy will take shape as you watch! Bob Acland, in his soothing British accent, narrates the video and makes you feel as if you're sitting in your living room, in front of the fireplace, sipping a cup of Darjeeling tea! Dr. Acland made it a priority in his life to produce an educational tool for students of anatomy that was affordable on a student's budget. The entire series can be had for far less than most single textbooks!
The series is a pleasure to watch, and there is plenty to refresh the memory of one who has used anatomy daily for over 30 years, as I have. Congratulations, Bob, on a job well done.

Review of Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body (Hardcover)

One of the first things that one realizes during anatomy lab is that the paintings in your textbook don't really reflect the reality of an embalmed corpse. Arteries are not conveniently painted bright red, nor are nerves colored a nice polite yellow.
The Color Atlas of Anatomy does a fantastic job of helping one translate the color drawings from the big anatomy textbooks into the lab by providing high-quality labelled photos of model dissections by expert anatomists. Think you have the hypogastric nerve in your abdomenal wall but aren't too sure what it's supposed to look like? My partner and I were in just that position and the Color Atlas helped us go from the idealized material of our lecture notes and Netter's Atlas to realities of our cadaver.
In addition to the photos, I found the schematic drawings to be a nice way to keep in mind the general organization of basic membranes and organs in the body, and the MR and X-Ray scans were useful as well in learning how to read radiograms and MRI images. This book does a great job of teaching you what anatomic specimens really look like, and help you appreciate the great beauty and elegance of the human body.

Review of Systems and Structures: The World's Best Anatomical Charts (The World's Best Anatomical Chart Series) (Spiral-bound)

Again with this particular collection of charts I do not feel as though they covered all that was expected. However, the detail of the charts that were included is quite nice. I believe that there were several books available by this company that may have included a bit more. They also cost more but I think that they may be worth the extra few dollars for the full store of charts.

Review of An Illustrated Adventure in Human Anatomy: Blueprints for Health, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

We got a copy of this book following a visit to the "Bodies Exhibition". My six year old specifically chose this book at the gift shop instead of another that was designed for children his age and younger. When I asked him why, he told me that the illustrations were more realistic and detailed, and there was a lot more information he could soak up (he reads quite well). The writing is accessible and straightforward. My son pulls this book out of the shelf regularly, and continues to do so months after we bought it. Given my son's continued interest in human anatomy and in this book in particular, I must say that this is an excellent reference and has been the launching point for numerous discussions about human anatomy. My son highly recommends it, and so do I.
