This review is from: Human Anatomy Update (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed my Anatomy class, and this book really helped me to learn the material. It has excellent pictures that go well with the material taught in class. The atlas is an excellent addition and I would recommend it to anyone who decides to take an anatomy class.
