Great for learning and review!

I teach Supplemental Instruction for Medical Gross Anatomy and have found Netter to be very helpful both for teaching my students and for me own review of the material. The Netter images are brightly colored, which may not be true to life but makes the initial learning of structures easier. The orginization of the book is also very easy to use with our with out consulting the index. For me netter is by far the best anatomy atlas and if you were only going to buy one I'd get this one. It does not replace the cadaver lab, but its clean colorful pictures are great for learning where things should be and where to look for things. This is a great tool!

Excellent *atlas*

Keep in mind this is an atlas. There is no text explaining anything (the only text is labels on the pictures). The pictures are fabulous, and this is very useful for an anatomy course. I couldn't get through the class without it, it is very helpful. I highly recommend it. Just, make sure you take good notes in class if you're more of a text person than a picture person.

Incomparable

You've got to have a Netter's Atlas on hand. You never know when you'll need it. Even if you are well out of medical school, well cocooned in your tight little sub-specialty, you still need Netter. You never know when your elderly neighbor is going to knock on your door and ask you precisely which muscle in her back hurts when she stands up, just to pick a random example.

But especially for learning the anatomy in the first place, both the structure and function, there is nothing that compares. The level of detail is astounding, the care and thought put into every illustration is staggering.

And you really should have the newest edition, edited in part by the great Dr. Hanson from the University of Rochester, with over 10,000 anatomical terms, and many illustrations now correlated with MRI images. You know what I did? I gave my old Netter's to my nephew and bought the new one. He's into science, has kid's books on anatomy. Why don't you do that? Give your old Netter's, cadaveric juice stains and all, to a young eager kid, be a little ceremonial about it, then get on Amazon and buy the newest edition. Then email me and say, "thanks, you were right about that."

Great Atlas, Bad view of Veins

I like this atlas a lot and is very useful for my gross anatomy course. However, I have noticed that some of the circulatory system is lacking. I can be difficult to find diagrams that easily identify certain things, particularly in reference to the veins and a little bit with the lymphatics. All in all, I like this book a lot and probably would not rather a different one. Also, the CD is very helpful if you want to set up quizes for yourself.

Best anatomy text!

Netter's book has so many pictures of all of the parts of the body and the common variations. It is easy to find any thing. The diagrams of the muscles are especially helpful!
