Principles of Human Anatomy

by Gerard J. Tortora, Mark Nielsen

Principles of Human Anatomy , the market-leading text through its many editions, successfully blends visual and textual elements to illuminate the complexities of human anatomy. A host of carefully crafted pedagogical aids support both the succinctly written narrative as well as the outstanding illustration program. Clinical applications, popular with students, represent a variety of clinical perspectives and provide both relevance and motivation for students as they study. The ninth edition of the text continues to break new ground in a modern day anatomy textbook by offering students a glimpse into the fascinating history of how we have come to know what we do, opportunities to explore structure from diverse perspectives, and insights into the vital contributions that anatomical knowledge brings to the understanding of functions and diagnosis and treatment of disease.

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.
