5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Netter!, November 14, 2007

This review is from: Head and Neuroanatomy (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy) (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy Series) (Paperback)

I have taught human gross anatomy to medical students for 3 years now. Netters is a good atlas but the Thieme atlas of anatomy series is the best I have come across. The figures focus well on specific areas of the body and give a much more information rather than just structure. It is not a replacement for an anatomy textbook such as Moore's but is an essential supplement.

I just love the amazing pictures in this book. Although it is an atlas is also has some really interesting written details that you don't often get in the other atlases. I would recommend all the Thieme Atlases of Anatomy, they are truly worthwhile books to have

This review is from: Head and Neuroanatomy (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy) (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy Series) (Paperback)

This series from Thieme (this is the third book) so far surpasses every other illustrated anatomy, comparisons are almost pointless. Get all three, learn them, pass your exams.
