Book Reviews of Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science)
Book Review: Excellent *atlas*
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Great Atlas, Bad view of Veins
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Book Review: Best anatomy text!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Book Review: Incomparable
Summary: 5 Stars
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."
Book Review: Can you imagine that the pictures drawn by Netter are far much clearer than what we saw during dissections?
Summary: 5 Stars
I remembered that when we did dissections in the anatomy class throughout the anatomy classes of the 1st 2 years, one student per table (who do not want to touch the corpse) would be responsible to bring and hold the Netter for the entire lesson. Netter really helped us a lot! I have browsed many other anatomy atlas and have not yet found one that is better than Netter. Although some atlases contain real pictures, they are not as clear as that in Netter! I can say, "Netter + Moore" is the golden combination for anatomy!
When I studied neuroanatomy after finishing the anatomy, Netter still helped me a lot!
Netter rocks!
