] Now considerably revised and enhanced, the Atlas
] continues its mission of presenting human anatomy using
] color photos of cadavers, thus giving students a much
] more realistic experience of spatial dimensions than
] pleasantly colored drawings could ever accomplish. Each
] of eight chapters consists of two parts, the first
] describing the anatomical structure of the organs under
] consideration; the second depicting the regional anatomy,
] with desciption of the superficial layers followed by the
] deeper and deepest layers--thus gearing the work to
] complement dissection classes in medical and dental
] schools. Schematic drawings of nerves and vessels, the
] course of muscles, and the nomenclature of various
] regions enhance understanding of the details seen in the
] photographs.

No book collection is complete without a good book on human anatomy. This book is the one you want. Its utterly amazing. It shows the mechanics of the human body in gratuitous detail. Not color drawings, but the real deal.

Utterly captivating. Not for the squeamish.
