Graphics are excellent with amazing clarity. This book has been tremendously popular with paramedic and EMT instructors and technicians in my area. I bought my copy to help with my EMT Advanced Life Support class and found it extremely helpful with the anatomy requirements. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in anatomy.

This book would be good if you are going into a low level medical feild where you do not go into great depths, or for kids or possibly high school students. However, I bought this for nursing school and could not even use it. It doesn't go into enough depth with bones, muscles, nerves, ect.. I was going to use this for an anatomy and physiology class not even an actual nursing class, and it was just useless. If you are buying for nursing school, I reccommend going into a book store to look around for what you want first, then come here and see if you can get it cheaper. You get what you pay for!

This book has great color pictures showing the parts of the human body. It not only has great pictures, but for the price, it is an outstanding buy. I highly recommend it.

Atlas of the Human Body is very detailed with both colorful illustrations and detailed text. It is written in a way that non-medical people can relate to. It's like having your own guided tour of the human body...Outside and Inside! You can find out the shape and size of organs and how they function - along with the disorders that each organ may encounter. As a yoga teacher, I appreciate the information in chapter five (The Human Body as a Whole) that features the skeletal and muscular systems - where all the information can be viewed on two facing pages. I use this atlas to accompany information from the "Anatomy Coloring Book" (Kapit/Elson) and some of the information on yoga poses from "Yoga Anatomy" (Kaminoff) to enhance my knowledge and provide more information to my students.

This is a great book to help in Diagnosis of MS injuries -Love the color and clarity of illustrations!

I reviewed this book before I delved into the topics of my first year med school anatomy class, and again before the test, and it's a big help. I wish that I had used it to study the limbs before my first exam. It has enough physiology for the first block of med school. It is not enough for medical school for sure, but it helped me put all the ideas from my textbooks together.

The book is old, but not particularly dated. Some of the terminology differs from Grey's anatomy, but it is a good supplementary text. You will definitely need Grey's or Netter's too.

It is a wonderful book for anyone interested to learn more about the human body and to see its intricade working. I never thought of the human body as an entity put together with so many working parts.

The beautiful drawings are a work of art and need special attention. Through this work of art I appreciate my body much more. A wonderful creation.

I would refer this book to anyone, who wants my opinion.
