Anatomy: A Complete Guide to the Human Body, for Artists & Students

by Christopher Joseph

Grays Anatomy, that classic beloved of medical students for over 100 years, is the fundamental work underlying Anatomy . But this is Grays with a difference with all the fine engravings of the original, but accompanied by fresher, more accessible text that explains in lay terms exactly how the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone, and all the other systems as well. The book contains 350 detailed engravings many of them in colour and is an invaluable guide for all students of anatomy, whether studying for medical or artistic purposes. It is also an appealing sourcebook for artists looking for inspiration from the exquisitely detailed engravings.

Menschliche Anatomie wird in diesem Buch sehr schön illustriert. Für (angehende) Mediziner:innen ist dieses Buch bestimmt ein tolles Geschenk. Für Anatomie Interessierte eher weniger. Es wird sehr wenig zu den einzelnen Körperstellen erzählt und ist eher eine Darstellung und Auflistung der Bezeichnung. Was sehr interessant ist aber nicht wirklich zu meiner persönlichen Weiterbildung beiträgt.

I got this book for artistic reference more than scientific. I was looking for a proper anatomy book with hand-drawn illustrations for so long but all I found were big med school textbooks with more information than I needed. This one is pretty cool because it's pocket-size(ish) and had brief information about everything. The illustrations are all from Gray's Anatomy (which I love). This is perfect for artists and art students.

I used this for my Anatomy and Phisiology classes and it was really helpful.
