Essential Atlas of Anatomy

Rating:
Summary: Essential for Anatomy Students
Review: I just started my first anatomy & physiology class and I'm mighty glad I found this book. I have a huge textbook (Tortora, Grabowski) and a photographic atlas for the lab (Van De Graaff, Crawley) yet the Essential Atlas is my main choice when I need to understand the body's systems. It's filled with beautiful, clearly labeled color pictures and, because it's only 96 pages, it's a joy to pick up and look at. For the price, you can't beat this book!

Review: This book is a very good atlas for Anatomy and physiology. I used this book for my college undergrade A and P courses. It shows the various muscles, nervous system and skeletal system with the utmost clarity to name a few. The pictures are of top quality and make anatomy and physiology easier to understand. I also used Tortora's Principles of Anatomy and Physiology as my primary text, which is also very good. However, I used Patrick Leonardi's Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 and Volume 2. These two study guides were excellent sources for knowing what high yield questions that appeared on my test. Take it from me, I got excellent grades.
