4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Reference, February 10, 2003

This review is from: Skeletal and Developmental Anatomy, Second Edition (Paperback)

I will admit that I have not read this book cover to cover, but I have used it rather as a reference tool, and so far, it has never let me down. It contains an even spread of the simple and the technical when descibing all aspects of the human skeletal system, leaving the reader to find the relevant information. It is well illustrated with simple, labelled line-drawings, rather than the highly detailed renderings of some other texts, making memorisation and reproduction easier for the student. Skeletal anatomy is well covered and well ordered, with references provided. The appendix, which contains "Muscle origins, insertions, innervations, blood supplies and principal actions" is, I believe, one of the books strongest aspects, and is well set out; easy for memorisation.
Students will benefit from this book.

I am a chiropractic student and this book is absolutely amazing. Before I bought it I would flip back and forth between my other atlases trying to get a comprehensive understanding of the joints. With this book it explains things in an orderly fashion and is very easy to read. It also has all of the minor ligaments that are much more difficult to find in other books. I HIGHLY recommend it!
