User Reviews For Previous Edition
I really love this book, however it is not supposed to be used as a replacement for a regular anatomy med school class notes. I compared it with my class notes and there are several very important things that were missing from this book that I really felt should have been in there. For example, there are virtually no lymphatics mentionted except very obvious lymphatics. The thyrocervical trunk had branches missing or was placed in a completely different chapter than head and neck. Pterygopalatine fossa and infratemporal fossa section were laid out in a confusing way where i felt could have been explained easier. I found I had to add a LOT of stuff to this book and as a result I felt like I couldn’t use this as a primary source in medical school. However it is good at directing you to the most important things for each section and often has useful muscle charts/tables. Having a picture right next to the text was also very helpful. However this doesn’t replace the need for a good anatomy atlas like Thieme’s or Netters. It’s good for a review for anatomy, and perhaps an undergraduate course, or a supplement for medical school anatomy.
I really love this book. It’s just the right amount of detail for me, and it has enough pictures and info for everything listed. Everything is organized well, and I’m really using it a lot in my cadaver course. I’ll be matriculating to medical school next fall and plan to use it there as well!
