  - I really donýt know how to rate this book.As far as illustrations of the many human systems, this book is excellent. Each illustration is clearly and precisely labeled. However, I use a book stand which is especially useful for larger and heavier books such as this book. Even with the book on the stand, the book's binding has begun to separate only after turning throught the pages a couple of times. I really don't know how to rate this book. Even with the excellent illustrations, it is extremely disappointing to have something which I have paid an medium to large amount of money for be of such poor quality. Rating: - An absolute essential for any med student!They say "a picture is worth a thousand words" and in this case it could not be more true. There is no better way to understand anatomy then to use this atlas. This book is an excellent investment. You will pull it out again for your USMLE review and for your surgery rotation. The most important thing about anatomy is to understand relations of structures and the best way to understand relations is to use an atlas. Rating: - Has helped me in amy application of workI happen not to be a student studying anatomy, dissection and medicine but am an opera singer. I use the anatomical data to help me (and others that i teach) understand, apply efficiently and use ergonomically all the muscles of the throat, the intercostals, abdominals and all related areas (including all ligaments etc.). When I viewed the book and was made aware of the muscles, and associated systems with that, then applied the information newly gained, the improvement was vast. When i then applied to my students of singing, their improvement was vast. I now INTEND to get this book for myself (probably the softback)for closer study, scrutiny and general learning. Rating: - The finest medical anatomy atlas available.Frank Netter's atlas compiles his paintings of every imaginable human body part, seen in various degrees of dissection, into one volume. Dr. Netter's talent for reproducing the facts of anatomy is exquisite and unquestionable. However, as one looks a little deeper, it becomes clear that Netter is in fact a guru of function as well. Nerves, outlined in an unearthly yellow, terminate on muscles they actually innervate. Tendinous insertions are always on the correct part of bony protuberances, and fiber direction is always carefully detailed. Any unusual functional variances, such as the dual sympathetic/parasympathetic function of Vidian's nerve, or such as the pulley effect on the trochlear nerve, are always painstakingly pointed out. Netter also excels in variation, presenting, for example, 11 normal variants of the cystic and hepatic ducts. The alternatives are few and inadequate. Pernkopf is often cited as Netter's chief rival; his experimentation on living persons incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps forbids me from perusing his text, on ethical grounds. Grant's atlas is laughably inadequate by comparison, both in number and quality of the plates. And Gray's, the old standby, simply cannot measure up; Netter's bold colors and functional depictions are clearly superior. Rohen and Yokochi, a photographic atlas, offers the advantage of being photographs of superb dissections, and therefore more like what one encounters in the anatomy lab. Some find it useful as a supplement to Netter's atlas. I also used Moore's textbook of anatomy; the plates, from Grant's atlas, are not so good, but the text can be used to expand and illuminate on the relevant plates in Netter's, and the text is well written and clear. I found it indispensible to read a little bit about what I was looking at, the night before an anatomy lab. I have also lent my Netter to several artists (sculptors and painters,) all of whom found it to be quite useful. If you have any interest in human anatomy, then, you need a copy of Netter today! Rating: - "Atlas of Human Anatomy"I have been a forensic pathologist for more than twenty years and refer to texts and atlases of anatomy on an almost daily basis. This is, by far, the best atlas I have ever used. Dr. Netter's genius lies in his being able to render complex anatomy in lucid and easily grasped pictures that still look like the real thing. He makes it appear effortless and his real brilliance can only be grasped by comparing his atlas to other (and usually more expensive) works that just do not measure up. I wish I had this atlas in medical school, but am delighted in being able to refer to it now. It is one of those pearls that every first year medical student, nursing student and paramedic simply must have in their personal library. It will prove indispensable in every stage of their careers. |
