Anatomy: A Regional Atlas of the Human Body

Summary: The best atlas for a student's needs
Review: Clemente took the best of what other's have drawn, and has put them together in this incredibly useful atlas. Everyone harps about Netter's. I agree that it is a good atlas, but Netter labeled way too many structures on many pictures and lacks prose to help explain the pictures. Additionally, Clemente included charts that group everything you need to know about a muscle (origin, action...) at the end of each section. By the way, why does it matter that Netter's pictures are so beautiful?

Summary: There are better atlases
Review: It is a helpful atlas, but it is not the best available. In my opinion one of the best atlas you can buy is Atlas of Human Anatomy by Frank H. Netter, M.D. The Clemente book is good because it gives descriptions on each plate, and there are tables that are very informative. However, the pictures are not always accurate and the labeling of structures is very limited. I bought the book with the CD-ROM and if I could I would give the CD about 2.5 stars. It is not worth the money. I was very dissapointed. If you want a more complete atlas, buy Netter(I would recommend the edition with the CD - it is very good)(Rohen-Color Atlas of Anatomy-is also VERY good). If you want a more introductory atlas for someone starting out in anatomy, Clemente will suffice.

Summary: Excellent and well organized
Review: This atlas is arranged and presented in a way that makes all of its information easily accessible and easy to find. All systems and structures of the human anatomy are shown in various formats, from cutaways to x-rays, with such a wide variety of helps that it's hard to imagine valid criticism. Tables, legends, indexes, brief verbal descriptions of the pertinent physiological functions, etc. It's practically impossible to get lost in this well-organized atlas, and beyond its obvious uses for medical students etc., it's an indispensible part of my library for transcription.

Summary: It's a Very Fine Book for any Anatomy Student
Review: This book, with the CD is a very useful tool for any person who is interest in anatomy, and has basic knowledge of computers use. I really recomend this buy.

Review: You couldn't ask more from an atlas. It has good drawings, radiographs, accompayning text, and muscle charts. The pictures are easy to follow, and don't crowd the structures with excessive labeling (Netter). What's the big deal with the beauty of his drawings anyway? I purchased a Clemente atlas without the CD and reccommend it that way unless you want to pay twice as much to have the same information in two forms.
