| This is a great book. It has everything you will need to learn medical terminology and anatomy. Lots of color pictures. My MIL was a professor at a state university, saw my book and even said it was better than the text books she used. You won't be disappointed.
This was the required text for my second subject in Medical Transcription. It was very good and detailed enough for the beginning transcriptionist to understand where everything is, and to familiarize yourself with more medical terminology. This one seems to assume you already have a beginning foundation in basic medical terminology and how to form medical words using word parts, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes. I say this because the first chapter immediately launches into a LOT of these word parts with very little discussion on what they are, how to do them, etc. The book has a detailed glossary of medical words, though, and it has these little cardboard cutouts that look like miniature index cards (flash cards) that will aid you in memorizing basic word parts. The book has very long and detailed exercises at the end of each chapter that builds on what you have already learned and strengthens your medical terminology foundation. It also comes with a CD-ROM that has exercises relevant to each chapter. WHen you complete a chapter exercise, the software evaluates your performance and tells you where your mistakes are, then prints out a study plan for you where you can bone up and read about your mistakes. An over-all good book! |

| Every year I hear the same complaint from students: The flashcard printing utility in the accompanying CD is worthless: significant words from the vocabulary sections of the text have been omitted. There is only one explanation why this omission remains: the book's publishing team hasn't diligently overseen this product. As there are thousands of words to learn, one has to resort to hand-writing flashcards. An enormous waste of time, making this an ineffective text for learning medical terminology!
This book is thorough and easy to understand. Keep up the goood work. |

| i am very happy with my purchase i needed this book for uni nd it came in perfect new condition and was cheaper than buying it at uni
<br />thanks sue
I received the textbook it was in good shape. However, my CD-ROM was not in the sleeve inside the book. Where is the CD? Here at the school the CD comes with the textbook? I have tried to get information on my CD nevertheless; I can't get an answer!!! |

| obviously this book is not for everyone, but for those interested in anatomy art, the illustrations are amazing
This is a very good overview of anatomy in art. Great reproductions. It has proven a very good source for images, and the writing is astute and informative. |

| I ordered this text book through Amazon because the school book store was out. In my past experiences with Amazon, I have been able to receive the same product, faster and sometimes cheaper. In this case, all was true except the book store book came with a very necessary CD, the book with Amazon did not.
Take this as a prereq into nursing! This is a great course and a great texbook. It explains things well and in language you can understand. I very much enjoyed this course.
This is a very informative book and has really helped in my A&P class. |

| ...either to your library of as a medical reference. A very beautiful book that shows some of the most beautiful pictures of anatomy.
This is a great resource for anyone in A&P. Most topics are easy to follow and to understand. There are a few errors (or, that's what my A&P instructor told me), but not enough to worry about. I love Marieb's writing style. She also includes tons of pictures and charts. I love this book and it's going to be a wonderful resource once I'm a nurse!
They sent the wrong book, it was nothing close to what I needed. It was very inconvenient |

| The Color Atlas of Anatomy was recommended to me as a reference for designing implantables and surgical instruments.
<br />
<br />As a non-anatomist, I found the illustrations and cadaveric photographs to accurately reflect my cadaveric surgical trials in the wet-lab.
<br />
<br />I often referred to this atlas while designing an Achilles Tendon repair instrument and other orthopedic surgical instruments.
<br />
There are not very many books of this type of presentation to begin with so I must be careful here as to how I may sway your opinion of high priced books. Color Atlas of Anatomy has been a staggering companion to my study of Human Anatomy. After careful study of Grey's Anatomy for Students along with Clinically Oriented Anatomy I don't believe I was ready for what was presented in the fifth edition of Color Atlas of Anatomy. Astounding revelation. I don't know there may be a few of you that have actual access to Anatomy Laboratories but I must say everything is in the right place as far as what I was told in the books mentioned above but this book is something else as far as what you see is what you get. Color photographs make short work of any pedantic ravings of the layman's terminology. I never did get to go to any medical school in North America but I'm sure that any student there would agree there is no trick photography here.
<br />
<br />There are 1158 figures with 1035 in Color and CTs and MRIs as well. All in 8 chapters and over 400 pages. This is not a book to leave out for the hackers to scoff and judge so keep it under your bed or better still in your locker at your Medical School.
<br />
<br />Most of the Medial Schools that I want into have this required or recommended as a text and unless you can say something's changed in the last hundred days since 2007 all is as it should be.
<br />
<br />
I consider this book to be a must for any anatomy student. The pictures are exactly what you will see when you enter the lab. |
