Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body

Rating:
Summary: Great Atlas
Review: Rohen provides crystal clear pictures of the human body. This is a must have book to help you get through anatomy and for later reference throughout your medical career! It is particularly helpful for anatomy students because it illustrates precise dissections that can be reviewed on those days/nights when you don't want be in the pungent lab.

Summary: Thank heavens for this atlas
Review: This atlas is absolutely wonderful (4th addition). I am studying gross anatomy and am crammed for time. The book is really excellent. Clear pictures that are displayed precisely. Even if you are a layman trying to study some anatomy this will help you immensely. I am studying for the American College of Sports Med. exam (only for the Health Fitness instructor) and this atlas is worth every penny. I don't know what I would do without it. I actually like it better than Netter (although that is a great book as well).

Summary: Excellent resource!
Review: This book is just as helpful and educational as a cadaver lab. The photos are all top quality, and CT scans and MRI images are included at appropriate places. The only drawback to this book is since it is a regional anatomy atlas, sometimes the "big picture" is lost. For example, it is difficult to visualize the aorta from its origin at the heart to the pelvis. But overall this is a wonderful anatomy text.

Summary: Real Anatomy
Review: This book is well worth the investment. It's a great bridge between the idealized drawings of Netter, Grant, etc. and the anatomy lab.

Review: This book was very useful for A&P. The pictures are detailed and accurately labeled. A great review for cadaver lab and worth the investment. This is the ONLY book you will need to survive the Anatomy labs!

Summary: A "Must Have" For Gross Anatomy Lecture & Lab
Review: THIS BOOK WILL HELP IMPROVE YOUR ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE & LAB SKILLS!! I highly recommend this book for any student (medical, dental, physical therapy, physician assistant, other) who is taking a gross anatomy class involving cadaver dissection. It has photographs sequencing dissection. Photographs are categorized by body part/region. This is very helpful when preparing & reviewing for lab dissection & exams. I recommend you use it with Netter's or Sobotta's (especially Sobotta's CD-ROM) Atlas of Human Anatomy (colored illustrations, not photographs)for additional illustrations & references. I believe you will find this book to be very useful. I certainly did!

Summary: Best Photographic Atlas Available
Review: This is the best photographic atlas available. When buying an anatomy atlas, you must keep two concepts in mind. While the pictures in this atlas are of real human specimens / disections, the structures you see are of only that one disected structure (for example, this is a heart in this man, but it may look slighly different if a different man's heart was photographed), but remember that humans have a certain degree of variability. Now, an atlas like Netters has drawings or illustrations, which are also good because they give you a picture not of one specimen, but rather a illustration which you can easily correlate to the real thing in the disection room (for example, illustrations are done to show all structures even though one person may have this variation and another may have something different or not at all, let's just say illustrated atlases are "one size fit's all" drawings). So I actually recommend anybody studying human anatomy have 1 photographic "real" atlas like this one, and 1 illustrated atlas like netters or gray's.

Summary: excellent reference for all fields
Review: when compared to the more advanced anatomical reference texts, the cost of this one made me hesitant. everything and more was here for quick and complete referencing.
