5.0 out of 5 stars What you need for anatomy, May 18, 2006

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy (Paperback)

This is what you should read for medical school anatomy. I started our reading big Moore and discovered that it is quite wordy and slow to read. Overall not an efficient way to learn or use precious study time. This condensed version contains most of the information in big Moore. It has illustrations, tables, and clinical correlations. I switched my study method to reading this book (baby Moore) from cover to cover and studying it in detail. I then used big Moore as a reference for additional details and would skim big Moore and note things that seemed of possible importance not included in baby Moore. You can then use Netter, Grant, and/or Rohen atlases as a supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential is right!, October 3, 2004

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy (Paperback)

They got the title correct. This book is ESSENTIAL! This is the condensed version of Clinically Oriented Anatomy. The diagrams and pictures are taken straight from the bigger text, as well as almost ALL of the chapter material. It looks so much smaller because the font and pictures are a little smaller. They've taken out some fluff to help us keep our sanity. If you've never looked in either book, let me teach you of the beauty of the blue box. You will live by the blue box. These blue boxes contain clinical correlations. They bridge the gap between Gross Anatomy pieces-parts and clinical presentation. This is very very important if your Gross Anatomy class exams contain thinking questions and not simply "what is this structure?" Many of my exam questions have been straight from the blue box. The newest edition also contains a CD-ROM by Grant. It's a great interactive study tool. If you're getting the new Grant's Atlas, you'll probably get doubles of this CD-ROM. My advice is to get a cheaper slightly older version of Grant or Netter Atlas (things haven't changed too much in the past few years) the new Moore Essentials, Grant's Dissector (new or older), and Netter Flash Cards. Sounds like a lot of money, but you're saving on the atlas, the dissector, and the Essentials because it's definitely cheaper than the full "Clinically Oriented Anatomy." Good luck in Gross!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Baby Moore" - clear, concise, good buy, December 8, 2004

By 

Jennifer Aron "med student" (La Jolla, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy (Paperback)

Positives:
- I liked the layout of the text, clinical "blue boxes", tables, and schematic drawings.
- The authors/editors fit an amazing amount of information for the size of this book.

Negatives:
- My classmates and I found quite a few errors.
- Some of my classmates thought it was TOO concise, preferring the "Big Moore". (My friend Jeff says this book is Big Moore with all adjectives and verbs taken out)
- It may be small for a textbook, but a board review book it's not!

Basically, it was better than I expected. I also recommend the Review Questions for Gross Anatomy & Embryology by Gest, et al.
