This book gives you the real picture of the anatomy along with the scanning image that goes with it. I love it! (Even though it doesn't fit in one's pocket)It helps alot with scanning.

This book is exceptionally good for people who does not have much orientation with sectinal anatomy. This book is very useful for Medical Physicist because now with modern technology , Physicist deal lot with sectinal anatomy in Radiotherapy planning.

We got this book for our daughter's 5th birthday and she is in love with it! She carries it everwhere and she can now easily identify areas of the eye, the inner ear, as well as many other body parts. We are beginning to see how she is able to apply the knowledge she's acquired from this book. <br /> <br />I can see how this book will grow with her over time as she is able to read at a higher level and she will be able to understand some of the more complex text. For now, she enjoys looking at the illustrations and describing all of the body's functions to anyone who will listen! <br /> <br />This is a great book. If your child enjoys The Magic School Bus then I'm sure he or she will enjoy Human Anatomy in Full Color

We bought this for our massage school teachers. It was in great shape as promised, arrived in a timely manner and the price was great

It is only accessible through your cd-rom, unless you know how to create an iso, and then run the iso using a program such as daemon tools, but i had no problem with my cd-rom. it did not run constantly, only when you were searching etc. Excellent pictures, easy to use. <br /> <br />

This is an excellent piece of software. If I'm near a computer, I do not use my paper version of Netter's Atlas at all. Here is why: <br /> <br />1) Searchable Index. Need to find a particular structure fast? Just type in the word, and all entries will come up in a list. If you click on the entry in the list, it will display the plate with the structure's name and pointer highlighted. (This feature alone is worth the purchase price.) No more flipping back and forth between the index and the plates. <br /> <br />2) You can remove labels entirely or expose labels on rollover. Memorize without having to physically cover anything up. <br /> <br />3) Click on a caption to highlight its pointer. No more following thin lines to the drawings. <br /> <br />4) Create custom study guides. It's as if you cut out the pages you need for a certain section, and covered up all the labels you don't care about. <br /> <br />5) Custom made tests. You can select slides of your choice, and only certain labels on those slides, and create a multiple choice test (name -> structure) or (structure -> name) <br /> <br />It is true that the program spins the CD-ROM drive on every operation. This can wear the drive out. However, there is a simple solution to this. Make an ISO image of the CD and mount it as a drive. It is roundabout, but it works. And as a bonus, the program runs much faster. <br /> <br />So I advise anyone who has not yet bought the paper atlas and who likes studying at the computer to buy this software.

The resolution is not great, but it still works in many situations. Am I glad that I have the book at home? You bet. But I travel and teach a great deal, and this CD lives in my laptop. I love the searchability and thumbnail views.

A little too flowery for my taste and not very scientific. Then again what did I expect !!! Easy pros however if you want to learn about anatomy, get an anatomy atlas !!

In the fall I will begin my first semester as a medical school student. I find the prospect of gross anatomy terrifying, and this book did an excellent job of lessening my anxiety towards the course and towards the ordeal that is medical school itself.

As a premedical student, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of work...It examines the physical and emotional aspects of a first year med student quite well. A must-read for anyone contemplating a career in medicine.

I love this book with all my body including my pee pee. <br /> <br />As a med student, you spend a lot of time in your chum hole with your pirate crew. During this time you surf the net, watch cool videos and gorge. But when its close to PBL time your like "WTF!" and need to write some stuff down. <br /> <br />What do you reach for?! <br />Kumar and Clarke? Only if you want rabies <br /> <br />The answer to all your prayers is Tortora! <br /> <br />It has all the information you would ever want to know about medicine such as how chest movement is similar to bucket handle movement. <br /> <br />Tortora is THE greatest person on this earth EVER! There was this one time when he was in a cafe and this dude dropped a spoon and he totally flipped out and killed the whole village. <br /> <br />Im in the process of finding a victim so i can have children and call them Tortora in his honour. When i go to bed at night i pray to him and when i wake up aroused i am already thinking of him. <br /> <br />Buy this book or i will commit reverse seppuka

I only wish my teacher had chosen another book. Many times the author goes on rambling on and on where a body part is located from each other and only confuses the reader and never mentions the function of the body part or with only a simple explanation. Like for example: The greater wings of the sphenoid project laterally from the body, forming the anterolateral floor of the cranium. The greater wings also form part of the lateral wall of the skull just anterior to the temporal bone. The lesser wings, which are smaller than the greater wings, form a ridge of bone anterior and superior to the greater wings. They form part of the floor of the cranium and the posterior part of the orbit. And it ends with that. OK, so what I say! Who cares where the part is located, I can see that for myself in the picture; I want to know something relevant with the part. Also, it is very rare when the pictures is on the same page as the body part; you have to keep flipping the pages back and forth to follow the author's description. I just finished his axial skeleton section and my comment is: it is going to be torture reading the author's dry and immaterial way of writing. The author writes as if he is hiding something from you and you have to dig around to get the information. This is the 9th edition and renew every 3 years when there hasn't been a new anatomical part discovered in decades; ploy to keep the money bag flowing. I only hope that in the 10th or perhaps, the 15th edition the author will let us in on what he is trying to convey. Maybe by then Tortora can get it right.

I've found this textbook a useful self-study guide. It is set up logically by body system with accessible pronunciations and definitions and with each chapter building on the next. The illustrations are detailed, informative and easy to follow. Each chapter also contains practical information relating to today's medical practices as it pertains to each body system. I was not as impressed with the companion "A Photographic Atlas of the Human Body" as I prefer illustrations over cadaver photos.

This book is very easy to understand. It is laid out a little differently than the Marieb, Martini and Tortora books. I find it easier to understand though. The extra tidbits in the book are really interesting as well. The book has answered things I have often wondered about but, never asked anyone. If you are new to A&P this book will really help you out without overwhelming you and confusing you. Thank you Dr Van de Graaff

I have to use this book for Human Anatomy and it is great the detail put into the book. If you buy it new from the publisher it even comes with a CD and a thinner, helpful spiral bound book that contains all of the diagrams.

This book is essential to anyone taking Anatomy. It is very detailed and provides a lot of pictures. It is sometimes too detailed, which makes it difficult for the average student to understand. I recommend using it along with the anatomy coloring book. My only complaint is the price, why is it so expensive?
