Review

University of Kansas Medical Center, Ming Xiaoming Zhang, PhD --

This is a new edition of an established human gross anatomy review book that covers the material taught in medical school courses in a concise and well organized manner. It provides brief explanations of gross anatomy concepts and terms and organizes muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in helpful tables. ..Unique features include the outline format that allows readers to quickly review without being distracted by unnecessary detail; the tests at the end of each chapter and the comprehensive test at the end of the book in a format similar to the USMLE exam....This is a helpful tool for students preparing for gross anatomy exams. It also can function as a quick reference for healthcare practitioners. This new edition has added information on development as well as new test questions.

Weighted Numerical Score: 93 - 4 Stars!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Was not a big fan...at all., May 18, 2006 By  Ocular/Orbital Surgeon (USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Gross Anatomy (Paperback) I really think highly of most of the books in the BRS series. This book was an exception. BRS Physiology, BRS biochemistry, and BRS Pathology were outstanding and very pertinent to material tested on the USMLE. I even thought BRS pharmacology was pretty good despite others having mixed feelings about it. This book is by far the WORST in the BRS series that I have encountered. Anatomy is not a heavily tested topic on USMLE, and the anatomy related questions are becoming more and more clinically based. This book lacked that type of focus. I found it difficult to read, with poor diagrams/illustrations, and filled with clinically irrelevant minutia. This book would probably be more interesting to those pursuing graduate degrees in anatomy...maybe as a review book for them. So unless you have a particular interest in anatomy, this is NOT a good book for board review, or even as a supplement for medical school anatomy. For board review "High Yield Anatomy" combined with "First Aid.." is sufficient. For medical school anatomy, check out the books by Moore such as Clinically Oriented Anatomy and Essential Clinical Anatomy. 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book..."Joo know everyting", December 25, 1999 By  Jami K.

It has terribly few diagrams and even those which are there are of little value since they're too small, and don't often enough tell you the important points. It's an OK book, just like any other text on the market with nothing special to it. And it may be suitable and highly regarded only to those studying at the institutuion the author teaches at.
