Book Reviews of Atlas of Anatomy (Thieme Anatomy)
Book Review: Great addition
Summary: 4 Stars
I would have said the world did not need another big anatomy book if someone had asked me a year ago. That said this is a wonderful book.
I think the art remains inferior to Netter's. However for a student the quality of the depiction is not everything. When trying to learn details can quickly become liabilities. This book does an excellent job of striking an appropriate balance for medical students.
The other striking departure from Netter's (the gold standard in my mind) is the inclusion of useful text throughout the book. Netter's is really just a collection of spectacular images that have been meticulously labeled. The Thieme atlas includes significantly more information on the structures. Not to be misunderstood this is clearly an atlas not a text book, if you want a text book look to Moore.
So here's my ranking of the real atlases on the market today:
Netter: the gold standard, but perhaps not the ideal book for a first year medical student, the best art, amazing flashcards, the complete collection (about $2,000 if you can find it) is really astonishing.
Thieme: clear number two to Netter's, maybe the best for first and second year medical students.
Rohen: the photo atlas, visualization is limited by tissue reality but a great tool for practical exam preparation.
Grant: Art for Moore.
Moore: the definitive anatomy text book.
Acland: Great way to see anatomy if you can pay attention long enough to see it.
