Summary: Glitz without guts
Comment: I was asked to give advice on atlases for M1s from the perspective of an M2, and got this one to take a look at. It looked great when I first looked at it and really liked the illustrations, even though they are small on the page. I was trying to update the dissection guide for the course and that is where I totally lost it with this book. This is not organized the way we dissect and in order to follow the guides, a lot of flipping around pages has to happen. Lucky my hands were clean, but in real dissection, this book is going to be gross (ha) in no time. There were a few big errors that jumped out at me, like confused pulmonary circulation. I didn't like the separate `neuroanatomy' at the end, this is better in the right sections. The clinical material was obvious, even for first years. This doesn't beat what is out there, and will be hard to use.

Summary: Pricey, but more thorough than many other atlases
Comment: First off, this atlas is set up like anatomy is taught in medical school, not in college. It is divided up by body part rather than by system. That said, the illustrations are high quality. There is also a code in the book that will get you to a web site with more information. In light of the dubious quality of cheap atlases out there (they are often replete with errors in labeling), this is one of the better ones.

Summary: Better than the Rest
Comment: A friend of mine recently introduced me to this book and I have to say, I'm impressed. It's fantastic! I studied anatomy in my first year of med school so I'm familiar with the other big Atlases (Netter's, Gray's, Gosling's, Grant's...) but in my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed. Especially those relating to the circulatory system. The book also cuts down on superfluous text, providing the most relevant information. The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember -- Easier to remember is key.
Great job to whoever was involved in making this invaluable resource!

Authored by renowned anatomists and teachers Anne M. Gilroy, Brian R. MacPherson, and Lawrence M. Ross, Atlas of Anatomy contains everything students need to successfully tackle the daunting challenges of anatomy.
Complete with exquisite, full-color illustrations by award-winning artists Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, the atlas is organized to lead students step-by-step through each region of the body. Each region opens with the foundational skeletal framework. The subsequent chapters build upon this foundation, adding the muscles, then organs, then vessels, then nerves, and finally presenting topographic anatomy for a comprehensive view. Each unit closes with surface anatomy accompanied by questions that ask the reader to apply knowledge learned for the real-life physical examination of patients.
Features:
2,200 full-color illustrations of unsurpassed quality
Brief introductory texts that provide an accessible entry point when a new topic is presented
Clinical correlates and images, including radiographs, MRIs, CT scans, and endoscopic views
Muscle Fact pages that organize the essentials, including origin, insertion, and innervation--ideal for memorization, reference, and review
Navigators that orient the reader with location and plane of dissection
This atlas provides everything students need in just the right format, making the mastery of human anatomy eminently achievable.
