Great for Exam Review

This book is presented in a easy to understand, colourful and informative manner.As a third year medical student I have to say that book seems to be aimed at those who are new to anatomy, and to these people this book would prove very helpful in gaining an insight into human anatomy. It is presented so as divide the body into systems, which in most medical schools today is outdated, with them preferring a more integrated clinical approach. Having said this, the use of the book is heightened by the inclusion of X-ray pictures, Ct scans and surface anatomy references. The text is pretty limited, but in most atlas' this is the case.Although this book is definitely not on the same level as the more comprehensive atlas', like those of Grant, and does not provide the same level of factual information as Snell's Clinical Anatomy, it is a well presented, easy to read book which I think would be very useful as a quick glance guide prior to examinations
