This book presents Anatomy regionally: the author describes the main regions of the body (unlike the systemic approach). The colored figures (several from classical Grant's Atlas) helps a lot the study of anatomy, and the clinical comments "makes the difference" between this book and the rest... but an accompaining atlas (Grants, Sobotta, Wolf-Heidegger, Yokoshi...) should be used by students. Frequently, readers get confused with so much cross-referenced materials throughout the text.

I am a first year medical student in San Salvador, El Salvador. I recently finished my course in gross anatomy, using the text by K. Moore. I found the orientation and discussion of the different chapters fascinating. He Illustrates exacly what we will see in cadaver, pinpointing everything down to the last details. I remember searching for the craneal pairs in a variety of different books, and never finding them explained as specifically and accurately as K. Moore does. Also, the illustrations in the book are so precise and artistically made, there was no need for an atlas to study. I think this is a book medical students should know more about, since it covers practically every single detail in gross anatomy. Guillermo García Mayorga, San Salvador, El Salvador

Some times the texts are very superficial. The book is well illustrated, but a good anatomy atlas is essential. The clinical commets are good.

This book is a sort of asset for me,beautiful book,makes an idiot like me to love anatomy.
