As a medical illustrator, this is one of more unrealistic and highly inaccurate atlases out there. Although most in the medical profession see it as their bible, there are much better anatomy books out there! Don't get me wrong, the pictures are very pretty and colorful, but as a reference you're much better off with Thieme, Clemente, or even Grant.

Netterer's sort of a douche -- can't help signing his name to every page and spelling it out in acrostics and reminding you of his many degrees (I think in his author photo he's wearing a tshirt printed with his CV) -- but his work is fantastic: his drawings capture the real appearance of the meat so that if/when you look at an actual body, you can identify its parts without much trouble. As importantly, he thinks carefully about point of view: the angles of his illustrations allow you to see h...more

Excellent book. If you want to know what your body looks like from inside, this is the book to have. Helps you understand-visually-the inner workings of your body.

It's rather inaccurate to say I'm reading this, though the illustrations are thoroughly labelled. This is really an exquisite picture book about the human body. One doesn't so much read it as study the gorgeous drawings.

Since I'm up to my eyeballs in anatomy right now, I spend a lot of time with this anatomical atlas, and this anatomy course is a jealous lover, occupying much of my time. Regardless of the vested interest, it is amazing to see how the human body works and what lies beneath.

We spend our entire lives in these bodies; best know how they're put together. From the pain in my temples to my double jointed pinkies I have found a beautiful depiction answering all of my anatomical questions.

I learned that the human body is most awesome and perfect thing in this whole world. I also learned a bunch of arteries, veins and nevers that come on my practical exams.

The "bible" of visual anatomy. All hand-drawn images pertaining to all the layers of the human body. Amazing to those who are interested.
Gross to those who are not.

Bad ass. Beautifully detailed illustrations. I only wish that the text extended beyond mere names so that I wouldn't have to keep going to my other anatomy texts.

It's not just an anatomy atlas... It's a beautifully illustrated art book - perfect for the coffee table - that reveals the incredible complexity of the human body.
