Reviews
This is one of the best photographic atlases. It is highly recommended for medical students and anatomists.
Fantastic book to use in the current situation where face-to-face teaching is limited and sessions are taing place online. The images in this book make visualising certain structures and the 3D conceptualisation of structures much easier and effectively aid students learning. This book offers invaluable opportunity to view cadaveric specimens and see the layout and organisation of the human body "for real", in a situation where viewing cadaveric specimens is very limited. This book is key for familiarising students with cadaveric material and may be a gentler way of exposing them to cadavers so that they are better emotionally and mentally prepared for when they do see cadaervs face-to-face.
