	Human Anatomy & Physiology with Book(s) and Other
	By: Elaine Nicpon Marieb, Katja Hoehn ISBN: 0321447336 Publisher: Addison Wesley Publishing Company Release Date: January, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 789528	I normally don't do reviews but after my experience with Amazon.com I feel it is well deserved and I am justified in my thoughts. <br /> <br />I was excited to know that I could purchase my book from Amazon when everyone else had it on back order but I was very disappointed when I actually received my books. I made my purchase in plenty of time for my class and was excited to know that their promised delivery date was before my class started and I could get an early start on my studies. <br /> <br />I did not receive the shipment by their promised delivery date and it was actually three days later that what was promised. This was after the start of my class. The class I'm taking is an advanced class which means it's a 15 week class condensed into 8 weeks and receiving my books three days late really got me off to a terrible start! <br /> <br />The front of my Anatomy & Physiology book is cut from top to bottom on the front side which most likely came from their shipping and receiving department as a result of carelessness on their part! <br /> <br />So now I have a book that is very susceptible to heat and wear and tear and it will cost a lot of money to replace in the future. I tried to find a customer service phone number for Amazon.com but had no luck. I seriously doubt if I will make another purchase through Amazon.com for obvious reasons. <br />
	Human Anatomy: Color Atlas and Text, 4E
	By: I. Whitmore, Peter L.T. Willan, J.A. Gosling, P.F. Harris ISBN: 0723431957 Publisher: Mosby Release Date: 07 June, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 291851	Highly recommended. This book is a perfect transition from knowing human anatomical strcutures' in the abstract (functions, innervations, etc.) to identifying (and truly "knowing") anatomy in a real cadaver or body. Using Netter's Clinical, I memorized the basics of human anatomy; using the Gosling Atlas & Text, I deepened my knowledge and learned to identify and properly interpret the real thing, which is, of course, the whole purpose of anatomy! As a beginning student of Anatomy, and not aiming to be an MD, this is an excellent entry level text, that unlike other atlases has adequate descriptive text, has photographs with corresponding figures that are extremely extremely useful, etc. Best value for one's limited $, IMHO. As a medical student I had a chance to study from quite a few anatomy atlases and can therefore affirm this one is the best choice you have.All doubts and vagueness you might have about different structures positions and relations when learning textual theory, become clear when viewing truly spectacular images which are, unlike doted, numbered and line-crossed ones in many other publications, spotless and have beside standing complementary colour schematic drawing explaining the image.I find fonts, paper used, weight and the way the book "reacts" when leafing through quite likable.

	Human Anatomy for Artists
	By: Andras Szunyoghy, Gyorgy Feher ISBN: 084160178X Publisher: Langenscheidt Publishing Group Release Date: February, 2008 Bioscience book rank: 457779	Within 2 weeks of looking at the illustrations in this book, my figure drawing skills have improved by at least 60 percent. <br />The illustrations are so clear and complete that it is very easy to see how to draw the figure or any part of it you may be interested in. <br />It especially helped me with drawing the female breasts, a difficult subject for me for a long time.But seeing clearly the muscles that are under the breast made all the difference for me. <br />There are over 1200 illustrations in this book...all aimed at teaching the artist how to see the body and how it is made. <br />The writer and illustrator of this book have my eternal gratitude. I've worked for companies such as Walt Disney Animation and Fox Studios. This book was constantly used and referred to in our work and studies there. If you only buy one anatomy book, BUY THIS ONE! There are a few books with this title out. Make sure you get the one by Andras Szunyoghy... Although i've never heard of this book, it was evidently better then others. I browsed through it in the book store and found clear pencil drawings, good text and surprisingly detailed content. There are many pages and many illustrations for each part of the body. Different muscle layers are covered as well as bones(front, back, side, above and underneath views for each!) and movement.<br>Its week side is lack of muscle effects on the skin, so you'll have to get a figure drawing book for that. In addition, a new reader might get lost(as i did) with the new jargon and muscle names, but you get used to it.<br>Oh, and there are many muscles and bones that no artist will ever need to draw, so if it's not what you're looking for, there are cheaper alternatives.
	Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology
	By: David Shier, Jackie Butler, Ricki Lewis ISBN: 007256038X Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies Release Date: January, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 763803	I bought what I thought was going to be a used textbook, but what I got instead was a "student art notebook," a completely worthless collection of illustrations taken from the textbook proper. If the entry you find seems too cheap to be true (like $2) it is not going to be the text. Amazon needs to do a better job sorting and classifying their items, especially those from 3rd party sellers. <br /> <br />Anyway, as for the actual textbook, it is very lite on information, basically a high school text. It is brief to the point of being incorrect and I do not recommend this book to anyone who is not actually using it for a class. If you wan't a real anatomy book, I suggest getting the one by Martini, which is just a few dollars more and much, much better than this overpriced high school text. I'm not a student of this subject, but I have taken college courses in chemistry and one in biology. I think this book is an excellent introduction to the human body and it's functions, which is an incredibly fascinating subject. The authors provide an appropriate level of detail for an general, introductory texts. The narrative is supported by wonderful 3-D visuals as well as tables summarzing essential information.

	Gray's Dissection Guide for Human Anatomy: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access
	By: David A. Morton, Kerry D. Peterson, Kurt H. Albertine ISBN: 0443069514 Publisher: Churchill Livingstone Release Date: 12 December, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 338847	Let me start by saying this is not the best book to pick if you want to learn anatomy - it is not meant to. This is, in my opinion, a companion book for Gray's or any other book, and it guides you through an authopsy not teaching you human anatomy. <br /> <br />It is rather good in that, but the fact that it doesn't explains things very much withdraw it a star, though I understand that if it did it would be much larger and not very practical. <br /> <br />I take it the other star because of its bad quality paper. I mean, how is that supposed to hold on an authopsy room, with all the water and blood? It should be printed on better paper. <br /> <br />This is not an essential book, but nice to know what you are doing when seeing your first authopsies. If you have the time to read it and have no other "not essential but nice" books in your list, buy it,
