by J.C. Boileau Grant, Anne M.R. Agur, Arthur F. Dalley II

A cornerstone of gross anatomy since 1943, Grant's Atlas of Anatomy continues to reach students worldwide with its realistic illustrations, detailed surface anatomy photos, clinical relevance, and muscle tables. Renowned for its accuracy, pedagogy, and clinical relevance, the new edition of this classic anatomy atlas features many improvements, including updated artwork, more vital tissue colors, new conceptual diagrams, vibrantly re-colored illustrations, and a more consistent art style. Clinical integration has been greatly enhanced in this edition, with clinical material clearly highlighted for easy identification. In addition, the organization within each chapter has been updated to provide a clearer and more consistent approach. A companion Website offers student and instructor versions of Grant's Interactive Atlas , including images from the book, video clips from Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy , USMLE-style questions, image-based drag-and-drop questions, and electronic flash cards from Gould's Clinical Anatomy Flash Cards Medical and health professions students as well as faculty and practitioners continue to rely on Grant's Atlas for its accuracy and comprehensiveness. See what this new edition has to offer! "Compared to [other atlases on the market], I find the contents and the images of this book significantly better mainly because of the life-like images and also the [accompanying] brief descriptions... [which] help keep the interest level going strong."

Am I the only person who prefers Grant's over Netter? I think so. Netter is dynamic and beautiful, but the number of anatomical structures he labels on one image is baffling. Whereas, Grant's provides a plethora of images, with various angles and tissue layers, in greater detail.
Additionally, the entire cranial nerves chapter is superior to Netter's. Anyone should be willing to admit that.

The best atlas of human anatomy in the world

যদিও নিটার'টাই বেশি চলে......তবুও আমার কাছে মনে হয় , এটাই ভালো ।

পরীক্ষায় পাশের জন্য নিটারের বিকল্প হয়তো এখনও নাই ; কেননা, মাসল এটাচমেন্ট কিংবা বোন/ভিসেরা মার্কিং -সব এক পৃষ্ঠায় দেখানো আছে ।

অন্যদিকে,
গ্রান্টসএর সুবিধা হলো .....আপনি যদি ছবিগুলো একএক করে দেখে যান , তবে পুরো সিস্টেটা মাথায় গেঁথে যাবে ; আর, 'চিকিত্সা বিজ্ঞানে ' মাথায় গেঁথে যাওয়াটাই প্রয়োজন ।

Grant's Atlas has some of the best conceptual illustrations of the body of any atlas I have read. They are clear and are loaded with details that can truly buttress anatomy classes. However, there is very, very little text, and the text that the authors do include are mere descriptions of the illustrations. When studying anatomy, Grant's is very helpful if you need to look up a structure and clearly see its features and relationships to other features of the body. But when you're trying to learn by visualization - which at least in my experience is probably the best way to learn all of this information - I don't find Grant's to be very helpful. It's also not very expansive on the functional importance of structures and how their dysfunctions can cause serious problems.

As far as anatomy goes, lots of illustrations from different views, so it's good for that, and, I think, better (though not absolutely required) than general anatomy & physiology books, but I haven't seen Netter's atlas (though I love his drawings), so I'm not sure if it's 5-star worthy.

very useful for the amateur people mechanic.

This was another great trash-pick. WONDERFUL illustrations in this book - I have used it for reference for more than one art project.

Love this book. I'm still a pre med student but this book helped me a lot with anatomy. The illustrations are really in good quality and very clear.
