Review
REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITION:
It's hard to fault the concept or execution of this magnificent atlas -- Journal of Audiovisual Media Medicine
. ..high quality overall, buying a copy will most likely be a beneficial investment for the future. -- Professor Chris Kelly, Cambridge University, Murmur - Cambridge University Medical Society Magazine, UK
. ..composed of large picture dissections of actual cadavers of which the print quality is excellent and gives you a realistic view of what you are going to be faced with. It includes surface locators so that it is clear which places were dissected on the live model. The numbered features on the pictures make it particularly user-friendly for revision, as do the different cross-sections of each dissection.
An added incentive to buy this atlas is the added inclusion of a CD-ROM which can make revision more interactive. -- First Year Medical Student, Rectum - Leeds University Student Medical Magazine, UK
. ..exactly what I need for this portion of my course - clear concise pictures to complement anatomy sessions...don't think I can really fault the book. -- Medical Student, University of Bristol, UK
BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended
This book is easy-to-read and up-to-date with excellent pictures of anatomy. The clinical correlations are of the highest quality. This is an excellent book with good clinical cross references and the new DVD make this a must for all students of medicine, surgery and allied fields.
