Editorial Reviews

Review

"Just as unique in its organization and presentation as the first [book in the series].. What makes the Atlas of Anatomy: Neck and Internal Organs so unique and facilitative to learning? First, it is much more of an educational tool than the traditional text you may have had in physical therapy anatomy classes. Looking at the number of illustrations (962), along with their clarity and beauty, it is evident why the atlas took eight years to complete. Excellent diagrams... While a reader could select the volume that fits his specialty, once he purchases on volume [of the series] he will most likely want the other two as well. The authors have successfully achieved their goal of producing a comprehensive educational tool in Thieme Atlas of Anatomy: Neck and Internal Organs. There is no reason to doubt that the last volume will rise to the same level of excellence. The authors are to be congratulated on their valuable contribution to both PT and OT literature. This series would be especially helpful to students of physical therapy or occupational theraphy. It would also meet the needs of veteran physical therapists interested in an accurate, in-depth reference."--ADVANCE for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants

"Provides an excellent pictorial presentation of the anatomy of the neck and internal organs...very unique views of anatomy...clinically relevant for the clinican...a wonderful asset to the anatomy library."--Doody's Book Reviews

This review is from: Neck and Internal Organs (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy) (Paperback)

This Thieme series has opened a new era! By far, this is the best atlas series available and as a medical student, I would recommend the three atlases to anyone who studies in the field of anatomy. Trust me, this is THE book you keep for life!
