A MUST HAVE FOR 1ST YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS

I can't speak highly enough of this atlas. The pictures are very clear and do a great job of representing the type of anatomy most students are tested on. If you have do not have an anatomy background before starting medical school, this book is an absolute must have. I took my book down to the dissection area and made comparisons. I aced all my anatomy practicals, and I am quite certain that it was due to this book.

The Best Photographic Atlas For Human Gross Anatomy

To all those who are looking for a photographic atlas of anatomy, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN McMINN's. This atlas has dissections and photos that are the epitomy of anatomical science. The book itself is beautifully organized into logical sections that integrate osteology, myology, and anatomy into a comprehensive package. After I read this book, I was ready for anything my professors could dish out on practicals. However, for written (theoretical) anatomy, you will need a descriptive atlas (I recommend Grant's). All in all, this book is extremely useful, and I recommend it to any allied health student who has to take anatomy.

The most beautiful anatomy photographs ever published!

The photos in this atlas could be exhibited in an art gallery: the dissections are pure class and the photography is breathtaking. I had no problems whatsoever identifying what was what because (1) there aren't arrows all over the place (the features are labelled with numbers) and (2) the size and resolution of the images are life-size or close (not those tiny pictures in other atlases and previous editions of this atlas). For the head and neck, no atlas can come close: the photos are exceptionally good (even for an atlas of this class) and show different perspectives of the same aspect in good quantity. Quantity however is the downside for the rest of the atlas. Although the photographs are great, there aren't really enough pictures for you to have a satisfying review session. It's probably this fact, and the high price of this book, that has caused Rohen & Yokochi's colour atlas to head the market in its stead. Rohen & Yokochi is a great atlas, but McMinn's is a GREAT atlas. If there were only more photos in McMinn's, all other atlases would be out of print.

Excellent Source of Knowledge

This CD is just fantastic ! Being a medical student... I was in total awe when Professor Peter Abrahams presented this to our class. Never was my attention so focused on one thing. I highly recommend this CD to any person in the medical field and who is interested in having an excellent grasp on the Anatomy of the Human Body. This CD gives a 3D aspect on every aspect of the human body - bones, muscles, joints etc and that's just the beginning. This is definitely one you should have as part of your medical resources.

Excellent detail using real dissections

As a medical student I was looking for more detailed descriptions of muscle attachments as well as of the actual placement of structures in the human body. McMinn's Atlas has first-class dissections that expose the human body and its structures clearly, and also covers osteology thoroughly. I found the sites of muscle attachments to be most helpful. I highly recommend this atlas for students who just cannot get enough information from drawings. McMinn's Atlas uses the real thing; it is an excellent resource and investment.
