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.

used this book as a reference for all of my skeletal anatomy classes. very helpful and easy to follow. Author has an extensive knowledge of the material.

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!

I am a chiropractic student and used this book for my spinal anatomy and gross anatomy classes. It made the information easier to understand. My study group and I also used the following which is also on amazon: Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
ISBN: 0971999600
The study guide had the type of questions that were asked on my spinal anatomy and gross anatomy tests. We all passed the class. These two books are must buys.
