The best atlas I've found. November 11, 2008

This is the best anatomy atlas I've found! The drawings are EXCELLENT and show many features that can not be seen or demonstrated in a textbook or model. The feature I enjoy the most is the different views of the same object. This allows a better understanding. I also enjoy the website associated with the book as it allows quizzing and removal of terms which don't neccessarily need to be known. This atlas is definatly worth the price!! Thank you Thieme Anatomy!!
Even better than Netter's Atlas! November 3, 2008

I have been teaching anatomy at Cleveland State University for about four and a half years, and my students have until now relied on the excellent Netter's Atlas of Anatomy. But Thieme's Atlas has far superior illustrations, which is saying quite a lot. The illustrations look three-dimensional and *real*, but they are painted in such a way that they go beyond what photographs of bones or muscles can do. There are concise summaries of muscle origin/insertion/innervation/actions and explanations of a lot of the biomechanics that makes the body move. For truly understanding anatomy, Thieme Atlas of Anatomy is the best atlas.
Of course, I think everyone should buy Netter's Atlas as well, because it's still really excellent, and it's a classic!
Pricey, but more thorough than many other atlases July 12, 2008

First off, this atlas is set up like anatomy is taught in medical school, not in college. It is divided up by body part rather than by system. That said, the illustrations are high quality. There is also a code in the book that will get you to a web site with more information. In light of the dubious quality of cheap atlases out there (they are often replete with errors in labeling), this is one of the better ones.

A friend of mine recently introduced me to this book and I have to say, I'm impressed. It's fantastic! I studied anatomy in my first year of med school so I'm familiar with the other big Atlases (Netter's, Gray's, Gosling's, Grant's...) but in my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed. Especially those relating to the circulatory system. The book also cuts down on superfluous text, providing the most relevant information. The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember -- Easier to remember is key.
Great job to whoever was involved in making this invaluable resource!
