5.0 out of 5 stars "Essential" has the exact level of detail..., May 22, 2010

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy, 4th Edition (Paperback)

This is just the right level of detail...and it has the added benefit of being able to actually be carried around because of it's thoughtful layout and organization. Have your local printer put a spiral binding on it and along with FA4S1 (First Aid for Step One) carry it everywhere...

Sunrise "gross anatomy" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy, 4th Edition (Paperback)

This is a great streamlined anatomy text that gives the key take-home points. The info is sufficient for most except of course the masters and PhDs in anatomy! The only downside is that, as of the date of this review, the access to the online book is not up and running yet (i.e. with the scratch code). I wrote to the customer service (thePoint) about this but have had no response in two weeks. So if you are buying this book to access it online be aware. Not sure when it will be ready.

This review is from: Essential Clinical Anatomy, 4th Edition (Paperback)

This book was recommended by our professors and is a basis of much of our work in my Medical School Anatomy Class. There is plenty of information inside, and it can be used to delve more in depth on any particular topic. Also, it contains clinically relevant correlations. I know that it would be an asset to a medical student.
