This classic guide to human anatomy will be welcomed by students and health professionals alike—as well as anyone fascinated by science. Organized by anatomical region—the most common method of studying the body in anatomy and biology courses—and rigorously indexed, this essential medical reference is the fruit of an intensive collaboration between internationally recognized scientists, dissectors, and graphic artists. It’s astoundingly rich in information: 650 detailed illustrations, including topographical, schematic, and sectional images, provide a comprehensive map of the human body’s organ systems in lifelike full color. From systemic anatomy and the body wall to the central nervous system, visual organs, and orbital cavity, it’s all here. Superbly drawn and meticulously labeled illustrations follow the most current International Anatomical Terminology, adopted by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists in 1998. The Color Atlas of Human Anatomy is the authoritative, practical guide to the body’s complexities.

This is a terrific book to casually learn anatomy as someone who isn't in med school.The pictures they provide are actually very clear and precise. I actually believe the images are easier to understand then Netters but unfortunately, there just aren't enough, and it is purely drawn pictures of anatomy. They don't provide x-rays, photos of people or cadavers, or any text (this one isn't necessarily an issue).It also has issues in the pictures it provides.The two best examples I can think of are the deep branches of the veins of the arms and leg. They are shown, but the extensions are not clear at all.Is it as good as Netters or Grants? Not even close. But it's also not 70 dollars. For the dollar value, it's one of the best books you can buy.
The color pictures are in-depth and helpful, but I have a couple of issues with the book. My first complaint is that I wish it was categorized by systems rather than areas of the body, because I am constantly flipping back and forth to find all the bones, muscles, etc. The second complaint is that there is no histology (cellular anatomy) of the human body, it's only gross anatomy.
Bought this for my son who was struggling with his anatomy class in college. He is not pre-med, this was for his Exercise Physiology and Nursing double major. It turns out this book is so much more clear, detailed and useful than his assigned anatomy textbook, and it has helped him immensely. Now he's doing fine. Tools are everything.
I am a first year anatomy student and this book has beautiful photos and the clearly marks/labels everything. My only issue is the book is very heavy and I wish some of the writing was a little bigger to read but besides that. Its perfect and has lots of detail.
I bought this book for my girlfriend cause she needed it for school. We had originally went to Barnes and noble and bought one for 80$ and the book did not even contain the material that this one has. Overall My girlfriend returned the other book and kept this one. She is still using it til this day.Great book with lots of specific part labeling and detail.
The color atlas of human anatomy is absolutly worth it. I am a pre-med student and this book served well as the best anatomical reference guide I had come by for the price. Fellow students have also purchased this atlas after getting a good look at the one I had. I would encourage anyone who is working with human anatomy courses and physiology type courses to consider this as a reference and learning tool.
Great reference book for review of bones,muscles, ligaments and nerves to name a few. Illustrations are full page, colorfu, organized by system and clearly labled. Very helpful review book for students and/or healthcare professionals!
It's a good book! I was able to find many of the terms for class but I wish it had more because there were a few times where i had to google image something. Other atlas' have real images instead of drawings which i do enjoy especially if working with a cadaver in your Anatomy lab. Other than that it's a decent book with good info for such a cheap price. I look forward to using it some more!
