Principles of Human Anatomy

by Gerard J. Tortora

Principles of Human Anatomy, 10e once again sets the standard for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both instructors and students. The highly praised illustration program is enhanced with numerous newly drawn figures, micrographs, and photographs. All-new system overview inserts, which highlight the multitude of imaging techniques used to view and understand human structure, provide an even stronger visual impact. The succinctly written narrative is perfectly keyed to the many illustrations and continues to be supported by a host of carefully crafted pedagogical aids. Responding to feedback from students and instructors, the author has carefully reorganized the content to provide a better continuity of concepts throughout the text.

While this is undeniably a behemoth-level, decently-informative tome, anatomy's form as a subject necessitates a density of details that could cause even the most dedicated student to drop dead via stroke. But not all learning materials are constructed equally.

This one, while utilizing wonderful imagery from Netter's Anatomy and of course containing everything one would ever need to know within the boundaries of lower-division anatomy, could be so much better. I'm not sure how, but the way the content is laid out could no doubt be streamlined or presented in a way that doesn't feel like trying to ingest a bowling ball.

After an extensive, strenuous, and most exhaustive analysis, I can now confidently identify what humans look like.
Yep, those are humans alright.

This text was a great resource. I had to borrow it from a friend because this book: The Sectional Anatomy Learning System sucked so bad. This is a very thorough text with excellent descriptions that made it very easy to understand.

Accessible for a determined layperson and a good professional resource. There are NOT many texts that can make that claim.

The electronic support and realistic dissection photos are _very_ helpful.

I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone who needs a good solid anatomy textbook.
