This completely new addition to the Gray's Anatomy family is specifically tailored to meet the needs of today's anatomy students. A team of authors with a wealth of diverse teaching and clinical experience have carefully crafted the book to efficiently cover the information taught in contemporary anatomy courses. A user-friendly format, a regional organization, and outstanding artwork make mastering anatomy remarkably easy. Unique coverage of surface anatomy, correlative diagnostic images, and clinical case studies demonstrate practical applications of anatomical concepts. A companion web site offers convenient and versatile online access to the book's content plus interactive exercises and more. And, an international advisory board, comprised of more than 100 anatomy instructors, ensures that the material is accurate, up to date, and easy to use. * More than 1,000 innovative original illustrations capture anatomical features with unrivalled clarity. Consistent use of color makes body structures easy to locate and remember from one illustration to another. * Over 300 photographs and radiological images depict surface anatomy and common clinical applications of anatomic knowledge. * A regional organization features separate units on the back, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and head and neck. * Conceptual overviews summarize each body region's component parts, their functions, and their relationship to other bodily organs. * Clinical cases underscore the real-life relevance of the material. * An online version of the book allows users to conduct advanced searches • download all of the illustrations • access interactive illustrations and exercises • and much more. * Online courseware provides instructors with ready-to-use teaching modules as well

Summary: not great
Comment: Gray's is fairly common assigned reading for anatomy, and probably should not be. On the plus side, there are lots of pictures so the actual reading is fairly light, and there are a few common clinical correlates. However, in my opinion, it also does not contain enough details and tends to be very repetitive. There's almost no physiology covered (as might be expected) but the words are simply a description of the graphics. In other words, if you'd rather have anatomy taught visually, there are atlases with better detail and drawings. If you learn anatomy better by anatomical descriptors, then this is your book.

Summary: Promising and different
Comment: Pros:
Good organization of the material
Chapters are structured in a way that helps learning
Images are unique in their approach to demonstrating the anatomy
Cons:
I've heard from several unrelated sources that the book has lots of inaccuracies in it (I've yet to find one)
Many of the diagrams are oblique views that take some time to figure out the orientation and then relate it to anatomical position
Customer Rating:
Summary: A easy way to study anatomy
Comment: A very clear way to study and undestand a very dificult and complex subjet- The pictures are very clear and didactic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book
Comment: A requirement textbook for my college course.
It is an excellent book with a lot graphs and clear illustrations.
Customer Rating:
Summary: could be better, could be worse
Comment: As a medical student I often find myself spending more time with this book than I do anything else in my life. With that said, the book does an adequate job of making difficult parts of the body seem approachable and understandable. There is a lot of over-lap between different sections which can be a benefit and a problem, It is beneficial because you go over the material again, which helps reinforce the concepts. It sucks, because you have to waste time reading the same material two and maybe even three times. Overall, this is a decent book that present the concepts well and to the point, and for the most part this is a great book. Even though I have a few quarks about this book, I would recommend this to others.
