Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is clearly organized according to the anatomic system; it has abundant clinical notes, helpful color-coding and consistent formatting throughout. If you are a student you will be impatient to get Volume 2, 'Internal Organs', and Volume 3, 'Nervous System and Sensory Organs', for your book collection."--European Neurology

This review is from: Color Atlas of Human Anatomy (Paperback)

Professor Werner Platzer was teaching Anatomy for a very long time using same sentences and same boring jokes in his class every year! Regardless of his outdated style, Prof. Platzer does a great job in explaining what you need to know as a part of the Anatomy course in med school. If you have some undergrad background, you can easily use this book in med school. However, it might be a little to compact if you have not taken some upper division courses in your undergrad. In addition, this book is not clinically oriented and perhaps not a good choice for the steps!

I have recently purchased the latest edition to replace my well-thumbed earlier edition. Platzer boxes far above its weight. Every page contains a gem. And it fits in your pocket! The new colour additions are great and the price... It's a must.

This review is from: Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Volume 1, Locomotor System (Flexibook) (Paperback)

This is the book to have when you are in anyway keeping in touch with human body. The earlier versions had lack of infomation and they were much harder to use. This has more colourfull pages and more pages than the earlier versions and it is easy to carry cos' it's so small. I'm recomending you to buy it if you're in any need of information about human struckture.
