Head and Neuroanatomy, the third book in the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series, combines concise explanatory text with stunning illustrations and key applications for the clinical setting. A stepwise organization guides the reader through the anatomy of the head, from cranial bones, ligaments, and joints to muscles, cranial nerves, topographical anatomy, and the anatomy of sensory organs. Comprehensive coverage of neuroanatomy describes isolated structures and also situates these structures within the larger functional systems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...The perfect combination of information and ease of use. It combines concise explanatory text with terrific illustrations and applications for any clinical setting...This atlas has the most beautiful, precise anatomical pictures. It is a must-have book for people who learn more and better by seeing structures rather than just reading about them. Students as well as seasoned therapists will benefit from the information in this text."--ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants

"It was a pleasure to review this atlas...The authors have done a superb job of combining excellent, high-quality illustrations with clinical correlations, informational tables, and teaching points...A comprehensive text...Beneficial to any student who is seeking beginning, as well as additional, knowledge in the areas of the head and neuroanatomy...An excellent atlas for the physical therapy student enrolled in a neurorehabilitation or neuroscience course due to the excellent illustrations, pertinent clinical correlations, and explanatory/summarizing tables contained in each chapter...An excellent reference for the faculty member teaching within this content area as well as the clinician working in neurorehabilitation."--Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy

"Premier illustrations that are correlated with the relevant clinical material...All illustrations are of high quality and are printed in color on durable paper...Each anatomic section is presented in various views, thus allowing for key areas to be either highlighted or clearly labeled...Occasionally, color schematics are used to strategically emphasize relationships of structure and function. This format is a good tool for achieving the ultimate goal of constructing a 3-dimensional schematic...tables throughout the text summarize or outline high-yield information...most helpful...a valuable reference text."--Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology

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.
