Everyone laughs at the title, then comes back and buys the book to help them learn anatomy. Goldberg has used lighthearted illustrations, diagrams, and mnemonics to help students learn clinically oriented systemic anatomy. If you're a first-year medical, chiropractic, or physical therapy student, this is a book you need. --Carolyn Lewis
Product Description
While the book is the same as the previous edition, it now will include an attached CD containing an atlas of hundreds of normal radiologic images. MedMaster will continue to sell the previous edition as supplies last, since the book is otherwise the same, and some students may not require the radiologic CD.

 Extremely useful tool January 15, 2009
Justin K. Hamlin (Tulsa, OK USA)
This book got me through medical gross anatomy! It is by far the most useful book I had. It cuts through all of the superfluous garbage in other books and teaches you what you need to know, how you need to know it. Thanks Dr Goldberg!
I only wish the author wrote companion books on histology and embryology.
Other people who are whining about it don't know what they are talking about. The people saying that it is organized wrong must not have read the part where it explains the fact that the organization was done on purpose because it makes more sense to learn anatomy from a systems model than from a regional model, which is done merely to make dissection and tests easier. The point of this book is that it presents anatomy how it SHOULD be presented, not in the inefficient, nonsensical manner it already is presented at medical schools. These people missed the fact that the book includes a regional based table of contents so that you can correlate and cross reference it with any other textbook. The author went out of his way to make this book useful to medical students because that is who this book is for.
The people who think this is primarily a review book apparently haven't even read the book. It would be great to use as a review, but it is written primarily as a high yield learning tool.
The people who think this book is not in depth enough seem to think they should be handed everything. These gunners should stop whining. That's why you have to buy a good atlas and perhaps other texts, go to class, and do your dissections. You won't learn everything in this book, but you will get a lot of good use out of it.
 Not as good as "Microbiology made simple" August 19, 2008

I bought this book based on my experience with the "Microbiology made ridiculously simple" book. This book is a good learning aid, but nowhere nearly as good as the microbiology text. In my opinion, this is a mediocre anatomy supplement that is leaching off the success of the Microbiology book that is similarly titled.
Disappointed May 6, 2007

I was really disappointed with this book. I expected that it would be a treasure chest of memory aids (e.g. rhymes, humerous pictures) for everything from muscle origins/insertions to topographical features of bones. While it does offer a few memory aids, it is primarily a review book, just like any other. In fact, compared to the BRS series it falls far short in the level of detail offered. Therefore, I think it fails as a review book and it fails as a source for memory aids. It may be useful as a review book for an undergraduate level anatomy course.
Salvation for the 3-D challanged December 13, 2004

I discovered this book during the last third of the med school anatomy course and it literally changed my perspective on the subject. Being a very visual learner, I'd fall asleep after reading one paragraph of Moore. And constructing a three dimensional picture from reading the text - forget it. The analogies in this book worked great for me. It was a great way to see the 'big picture' before searching for details in Moore. It is also surprisingly detailed for such a small book. (You will still need a 'big' textbook, though) I wish all of my books there written in similar style, but I realize some people might not like it. For example, if you enjoy reading Moore, this book is probably not for you. On the other hand, if you find anatomy to be unbearably dry, I highly recommend this book.

I thought this was a great supplement during my course study of anatomy. It does not cover everything, but that's when you go to MOore...it made some things very clear and easy to memorize that were important clinically. I think it was worth the investmenet. But of course the humor may not appeal to all...more for the visual learner I think...
