I have been hunting for a concise and clear atlas that would help me visualize the brain in 3-D. Atlases I used in medical school were 2-D, too detailed, disjointed, and left alot to the imagination as to how the brain parts fit togther as a whole. This book takes the guess work out of that and is a text as well as an atlas. It uses airbrush pictures to help with visualization. In addtion, it has the added bonus of including a CD-ROM. It is a delight to read and in only minutes a day, I am gaining a whole new understanding of the brain. The pages are printed on high quality paper and you can easily use colored markers to color in any part of the brain you wish. There is even a suggested color chart. I am a neurology resident and I am so glad I found this book!!

I brought the book with the belief that the pictures in the book would have more color. The only color in the book is black, white and red. The color pictures are on the CD. The book's graphics are HORRIBLE!!

This book is a mixture of B&W photographs, 2-color diagrams and bad 3-D computer graphics. I didn't open the CD. Frank Netter's work is, in my opinion, very superior.
