Review:

If you're looking for a good basic anatomy book to use as a reference, I highly recommend this one. It's very easy to find what you want and has satisfactory pictures. I personally found it much easier on the eyes than Grants. Also recommend "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense, Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works" for a good review of the published research on losing weight.

Summary: Anatomy with clinical correlates
Review: A good anatomy book for the beginning medical student, although some of the terminology is either outdated or in lesser use than other anatomical names. The clinical correlates, however, are a welcome change from the presentations in other anatomy texts and assist in recall of important relationships and anatomy.

Summary: Holy Schmole Guacamole!!
Review: A great anatomy book. I like it better than Gray's as there's more text and I just like the artwork better. A good basic book on anatomy. Readers may also be interested in "Treat Your Own Knees" and "The Multifidus Back Pain Solution."

Summary: Easy to understand!!
Review: As a DPT student, I really find this book easy to use. Pictures of muscles look a little cartoon-like, but it is easy to visualize later on. There is a lot of information on clinical conditions and injuries to help understand nerve problems. There are a lot of X-rays included as well to help explain injuries. The book goes in a logical order and it is very easy to find topics in the book.

Summary: Comprehensive but severely lacking
Review: Disorganized, contains inaccuracies, ugly pictures and a layout which looks like it's from the 70's, horribly distorted americanized latin (why destroy two beautiful languages by mixing them like this I will never understand) but the most comprehensive clinical anatomy textbook there is.

Summary: Clinically Oriented Anatomy, by Keith L. Moore
Review: I am a first year medical student in San Salvador, El Salvador. I recently finished my course in gross anatomy, using the text by K. Moore. I found the orientation and discussion of the different chapters fascinating. He Illustrates exacly what we will see in cadaver, pinpointing everything down to the last details. I remember searching for the craneal pairs in a variety of different books, and never finding them explained as specifically and accurately as K. Moore does. Also, the illustrations in the book are so precise and artistically made, there was no need for an atlas to study. I think this is a book medical students should know more about, since it covers practically every single detail in gross anatomy. Guillermo García Mayorga, San Salvador, El Salvador

Review: I am a first year student of dentistry in the CES university of Medellin,Colombia. I would like to recommend this book not only for it's great explanations but for it's excelent illustrations that will make easier to understand the real human anatomy. i'll classify this book as one of the most important sources of medical learning.It's enjoyable to read it.

Summary: Excellent book for anatomy
Review: I am a med student and found this book very helpful for my gross anatomy class. I also used the following which I also bought on amazon.com:
Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
(ISBN: 0971999600)
This study guide helped me to prepare for the type of questions on my gross anatomy tests. I was introduced to this book by my friend in another med school who also found it very helpful for his anatomy class. I used both books to get a B+ in my anatomy classes.

Summary: Moore's Anatomy text is a standard; rightfully so
Review: I am a medical student at Texas A&M USHSC COM. Moore's is an excellent text for basic anatomy. They have included excellent drawings and the content is complete. Added bonuses to the text include insightful clinical correlation and appropriate embryological try-ins. The text appears wordy and most medical students will try to use a review book in its stead. This would be a mistake. Students who read Moore will retain more anatomy all the way into clinicals and will be ahead of their peers who did not. Overall this is a very fine text: best used in conjunction with Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy and Langman's Medical Embryology. *I will mention here, in fact, that the embryo text by Moore (The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology) does not meet the same high standard and is wrought with errors.
