Nice illustrations but.... 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Nice illustrations, but the organization just is not logical. It is difficult to find what you want and if you're looking for a specific muscle, don't you dare rely on the index, because it probably won't be there. The muscle attachment illustrations are not in the same sections as the muscles themselves. I would recommend Theime's Atlas of Anatomy instead of Netters if you are looking for a better organized and clearer anatomy text.

This is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone taking an anatomy course.

Such a GREAT supplement to the Anatomy Coloring book. It's better to color the coloring book using the same color scheme as this book. Everything is big, colorful, plenty of labels, and very helpful for learning anatomy. It's now my "bible" for school.

Editorial Review:

Anatomy atlas by the late physician-illustrator. This work has become the top-selling anatomical atlas in the world. Includes detailed, full-color illustrations and a number of new plates in the Netter style by Carlos Machado. Previous edition: c1989. Softcover, also available in hardcover. DNLM: Anatomy--atlases.

best atlas, has nothing on netter's 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

everyone raves about netters but last i checked the human body was actually a confusing mass of vessles, nerves and muscles and not picture perfect. yokochi's photographs help you get ready for any lab practical, show multiple views of everything and it's really great b/c if the axillary artery shows up every time the thorax is being shown, even if it's just off to the side in the arm, it's labeled every time, from every angle. that's the best part, multiple views and nothing is left out just because it doesn't fit into the section, it it's there, it's labeled.

This book is awesome 5 out of 5 stars.

Everyone should buy this. It's way better than Netter's and is great to review before and after a gross anatomy lab.

Editorial Review:

This atlas includes full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections instead of idealized illustrations, to accurately and realistically represent anatomical structures. Often used by students as an alternative or supplement to their lab experience, and as an introduction to exactly what they should see before they dissect, as well as a study aid before practical/identification exams.

WARNING --EDITION #7 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The 7th edition has inexplicably omitted most of the gross dissections of the previous editions!

Good Atlas, but hard to read 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Haines Atlas has some strong points and some weak points. If the option was given, I would have given it 3.5 stars because it probably is above the average when it comes to atlases and I have not used a different atlas to compare it to.

Strong points:
-The real images are great (CTs and MRIs).
-Cross sections and coronal sections are also well done.
-USMLE style questions at the end of the book are great for medical students (such as myself) and helped me do very will on the NBME Neuroscience shelf exam.
- Online version is a great tool

Weak points:
- As a text, this atlas is VERY confusing.
- Although the diagrams are decent, the color scheme is not explained very well and they use a lot of abbreviations that aren't intuitive, constantly need to be checked, and often times differ from one diagram to the other

This atlas would be best used with a different textbook (I personally recommend Basic Clinical Neuroscience by Young, Young, and Tolbert).

Also, if you are a medical student, combine the two books above with the Pre-test for Neurosciences by Allan Siegel for review of NBME shelf exam and USMLE step 1 exam.

Editorial Review:

The Sixth Edition of Dr. Haines's best-selling neuroanatomy atlas features a stronger clinical emphasis, with significantly expanded clinical information and correlations. More than 110 new images--including MRI, CT, MR angiography, color line drawings, and brain specimens--highlight anatomical-clinical correlations. Internal spinal cord and brainstem morphology are presented in a new format that shows images in both anatomical and clinical orientations, correlating this anatomy exactly with how the brain and its functional systems are viewed in the clinical setting. A new chapter contains over 235 USMLE-style questions, with explained answers. This edition is packaged with Interactive Neuroanatomy, Version 2, an interactive CD-ROM containing all the book's images.

This is a fantastic reference for any medical student. Including nursing students. The pictures are great! I only wish I had found it my furst semester of nursing school. This book helps in explaining the why and the how of a disease. The book is broken down into each system of the body. Easy to read and very helpful. This would make a great gift for anyone who will be attending medical school.

Editorial Review:

This full-color atlas is designed to help healthcare professionals understand the rationale for prevention and therapy underlying clinical practice. Over 300 four-color, visually appealing illustrations show how disease disrupts the human body's equilibrium and how pathology develops and progresses in more than 150 diseases. Each section briefly covers fundamentals of normal anatomy and physiology before discussing the pathophysiology. Cellular pathology, cancer, infection, immune and genetic disorders and fluid and electrolyte imbalance are covered. The comprehensive format includes full-page text that explains disease development, and lists signs and symptoms, with accompanying full-page art. Also includes graphic logos, appendices, and a glossary.

A cornerstone of gross anatomy since 1943, Grant's Atlas of Anatomy continues to reach students worldwide with its realistic illustrations, detailed surface anatomy photos, clinical relevance, and muscle tables.

In addition, the organization within each chapter has been updated to provide a clearer and more consistent approach. A companion Website offers student and instructor versions of Grant's Interactive Atlas, including images from the book, video clips from Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy, USMLE-style questions, image-based drag-and-drop questions, and electronic flash cards from Gould's Clinical Anatomy Flash Cards. Also available is an interactive atlas for faculty, which contains all of the images, select Acland clips, presentations of dissection sequences, an expanded table of contents, and more! Medical and health professions students as well as faculty and practitioners continue to rely on Grant's Atlas for its accuracy and comprehensiveness. They're going to love what this new edition has to offer! "Compared to [other atlases on the market], I find the contents and the images of this book significantly better mainly because of the life-like images and also the [accompanying] brief descriptions...[which]help keep the interest level going strong." --3rd year student

It is frustrating and sad to see Dr. Netter's art being miniaturized.
The book should be sold together with a microscope.

Great for Physical therapists 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a great, small book that can be used for quick reference when working with orthopedic patients. The pictures are small but it is not meant as a true anatomical atlas. It includes some nice x-rays, plenty of common pathological conditions and a few quick tests.
