Summary: A real page turner!
Review: I am a medical student. Although I find actual cadavers more useful for review of anatomical structures, this volume is the next best thing for those who do not have access to 3-D dissections. It is also a great introduction to the human body for non-scientists. Whenever my friends and realatives visit me, Rohen inevitably comes off the shelf and people spend hours marvelling at the photographs of what's inside us all.

Summary: The definitive tour of the human body!
Review: I am amazed at the masterful dissections in this book. Every page has a photograph of a dissected human with lines that point to the anatomical structures in a clear and uncluttered manner. In my opinion, this is MUCH more informative than looking at an illustration.Rather than feeling overwhelmed with anatomy as a subject, this book will give you an immediate sense of awe and wonder in regards to the human body as a work of pure genius.

Summary: This book is AWESOME
Review: I can not believe the quality of this books or the photos it is full of. I will start medical school next fall and wanted to start learning human anatomy and preparing myself for gross anatomy lab. This book is a great resource and exactly what I was looking for, plus it is used at my school for the MSI lab so I will use it during school.

Summary: It's a very good reference.
Review: I'm a dental student studying gross anatomy. Usually, students don't have enough skill in disecting the cavador to all stuctures (arteries, muscles, vein, nerves) they've studied. This reference help me improving and completing my lab skill. Its pictures are all color. They're all real picture. All structure are all clear. (clean fascia very clearly) Some sturctures are dyed so they help you identify and understand it easier. It's the best lab reference book I've ever had.

Summary: Absolute Best Book for Anatomy
Review: I'm a medical student at the University of Michigan and in my experience this is the best atlas for anatomy. Many of the pictures are taken and arranged just like a typical anatomy dissection, which is perfect for pre-labbing and for studying for practicals. The labels are numbered, which make it ideal for self-quizzing, and the pointers aren't extremely long, which makes it easy to see what is being pointed at. (This is a problem with Netter's which has extremely long lines that are hard to follow.) I do not usually use textbooks (I rely mostly on class notes and online resources), but this atlas has been invaluable.

Summary: That atlas teeched me better then the actual sections.
Review: I'm a medicine student. Before the practical anatomy exam (You know, pins in the corpus and you've to indentify the tissue), all my friends learned at the lab. I learned from this exellent Atlas. I got the highest mark in our year.

Summary: A First Class Resource for Anatomy Students
Review: One of the first things that one realizes during anatomy lab is that the paintings in your textbook don't really reflect the reality of an embalmed corpse. Arteries are not conveniently painted bright red, nor are nerves colored a nice polite yellow. The Color Atlas of Anatomy does a fantastic job of helping one translate the color drawings from the big anatomy textbooks into the lab by providing high-quality labelled photos of model dissections by expert anatomists. Think you have the hypogastric nerve in your abdomenal wall but aren't too sure what it's supposed to look like? My partner and I were in just that position and the Color Atlas helped us go from the idealized material of our lecture notes and Netter's Atlas to realities of our cadaver. In addition to the photos, I found the schematic drawings to be a nice way to keep in mind the general organization of basic membranes and organs in the body, and the MR and X-Ray scans were useful as well in learning how to read radiograms and MRI images. This book does a great job of teaching you what anatomic specimens really look like, and help you appreciate the great beauty and elegance of the human body.

Summary: One leg up on anatomy
Review: Review of Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body Third Edition (Not part of review) This anatomy atlas is one of the best reference books I have purchased. The quality of dissections and photographs are unparalleled providing a practical contrast to the standard illustrative atlases. I continually use it as a reference source. There could be a greater emphasis on cross sections, but I believe this was addressed in the subsequent edition. Although not a required text, the majority of first year medical and anatomy graduate students own a copy and attribute much of their success during dissection and on examinations to this anatomy atlas. This book is comprehensive in the identification of anatomical structures and will provide useful discrimination in a traditional gross anatomy program where the teaching methodology employs a strong emphasis on dissection. I commend Rohen and Yokochi for their work and strongly recommend this anatomy atlas.
