Book Reviews of Grant's Dissector (Tank, Grant's Dissector)
Book Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this product because it was spiral bound at a great price. The seller shipped this item quickly in great condition.Book Review: Great book, annoying binding
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent dissection guide for a cadaveric anatomy course. Buy two, one as a "greaser" and one to keep at home to study from. Grant's has simple schematics to help you locate structures as you dissect, as well as references to Grant's Atlas, Netter's, Clemente ("regional atlas") and Rohen (photographic). I own them all and love them all.
One problem: the binding is that terrible metal-coil fall-apart-the-instant-you-open-the-book style. Try to find one that is book-bound.
Book Review: Great seller, but 12th edition
Summary: 1 Stars
The book turned out to be the 12th edition which was too old for my need, however the seller was excellent about letting me return it and promptly giving me a full refund.Book Review: Nearly worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
This was "Required" for my medical school class this year. It was insisted upon by our instructors, who decried my purchase of the 13th edition as insufficient for the task.
I paged through this book one time before our second lab, and discovered very quickly that most medical students aren't A+ dissectors, and that much of the direction within this book is too tedious and too impractical for a medical school laboratory session. Moreover, the book ends up getting oily and ruined too quickly to be of much use.
Frankly, we just used an old Netter's atlas and dissected carefully. You'll be able to find about 80% of what you need to find on your own, another table or group will have better examples of the things you screw up.
This book played no role in my learning anatomy, or dissecting the cadaver, in medical school anatomy lab. Save your money, buy a cheap old Netter's atlas, and learn the anatomy the real way. Your dissecting skills, whether pro or neophyte, will get the job done either way.
Book Review: School book
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks for the book, it will help with school. Affordable, and in good condition.
