Atlas of Human Anatomy 2nd Edition 9780914168812 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews

• Netter's is the go to atlas for anatomy. I am currently using this for my first year of med school and it has all of the graphics I need. These images are also often used by professors on exams. I have a pdf version of the previous edition of the atlas and compared to that, this edition is definitely worth the upgrade. The reason being the tables that I do not see in the older edition. In this edition there is a table at the end of each section of the muscles, their action, blood supply, innervation and muscle group. This is an amazing resource for a condensed version of the information you will need on exams. Friends who have the older version spent hours writing out tables of their own, flipping through endless material looking for that information.
  
  I highly recommend this as the first line atlas that you get. You can find supplemental information on the web, or add another atlas to the collection if you feel you need one. This will be the best one to start with though.
• Savior of A&P. No doubt about it.
  I recently undertook a 10-credit A&P intensive in 8 weeks, and without a single doubt, this book was my main resource for all of the anatomy practicals.
  
  Our textbook was inadequate - it would have partial and very select views of anything, and didn't cover half of what we had to learn. Among the Atlases that we had on hand, I first found the 5th edition of this book and even though it wasn't photographic, I really appreciated that it was so detailed and offered so many variations on the same area. You can go from skeleton to muscle, nerves, or check out diagnostic imaging views like X-Rays or other scans. I didn't feel that, given the detailed variety here, I was missing anything by not having photos. I checked this newest edition out from my library and was elated to see that just about all the gaps from Dr. Netter's work have been filled by digital rendering that strikes a balance between the accuracy I expect from computers but also the aesthetic I expect from the overall Atlas. I'm sure they're trying hard to find a new way to make an edition given that this is so complete - but I welcome the result.
  
  I bought this book after the class were over (I did well) to be a TA for the class throughout the year. With the easy organization of the book, I was able to flag all the areas I knew students would have questions about and was able to absolutely enrich their studying by offering new ways to look at and locate features.
  
  This book is currently being sold at a great price. Wouldn't miss it if you're in the market. Only improvement I'd suggest for future editions would be to have the option of a spiral binding with water resistant/alcohol-fast paper so that it could live in the cadaver room. The book still lays flat enough without much manipulation, but being pressed flat puts undue stress on the current binding.
• this is an excellent book for the medical student or anyone studying anatomy. I've bought about 4 or 5 top quality anatomy books including a coloring book, and this one is one of the best for visual learners. I don't like the the running press version of Grays Anatomy from 100 years ago and don't see how anyone can learn anatomy this way. These plates are perfect for memorization and understanding the human body.
• This atlas is soo awesome. Very detailed dissection of different parts and organs. CT and Xray photos. Summary tables at the end of each section. Extremely colorful pictures. Perfect for beginners. Not for advanced health professionals because if you dissect a real human body, it all looks the same. With blood everywhere, You can’t differentiate between an artery or a tendon or a nerve. With all that, this atlas gives an excellent 3D picture of how all the organs, muscles, bones...etc are placed and connected together. A must buy
• The drawings are clear, and I'm glad that I studied it because this is the resource that I would want to use to show patients anatomical features in my practice. Additionally, the muscle tables were helpful. However, for actually learning the material, I found Grants atlas of anatomy to be much more helpful because it includes verbal descriptions, and I learn best if I have descriptions to accompany graphics. Netters has only pictures and no descriptions.
• I bought this for medical school on the recommendation of students that were ahead of me in the program, and I honestly wasn't sure how often I'd be using it at first. The pictures are very well drawn-out and labeled, however, and I found myself using this book constantly while studying for anatomy practicals. Extremely helpful for learning where structures are typically found and the path they take through the body. I would say it is a must-buy for any medical student.
• This book is an educational book used by most nursing students although, I am not a nursing student I found it quite helpful in understanding the human structure and the intricacies of the system. I try to explain to my doctor just how or where the problem is and always seem to fail until I invested in this book. It also, is useful in understanding how muscles work and how interrelated they are to other parts such as the ligaments, the vascular system and much more. When I tire of it I will donate it to a nursing student or library. It is overwhelming for ordinary people such as myself but, it serves the purpose for my immediate needs. Great educational tool.
