1869-1945
Robert Heinrich Johannes Sobotta (31 January 1869, in Berlin – 20 April 1945, in Bonn) was a German anatomist.

He studied medicine in Berlin, where he subsequently worked as a second assistant at the institute of anatomy. From 1895 he served as prosector at the institute for comparative anatomy, embryology and histology at Würzburg. In 1903 he became an associate professor and in 1912 a full professor of topographical anatomy. In 1916 he relocated to the University of Königsberg as director of the anatomical institute, afterwards performing similar duties at the University of Bonn (from 1919).

He is remembered today for the Sobotta atlas of human anatomy, a masterpiece of macroscopic anatomy acclaimed for its high quality and detail. First issued in 1904 with the title Atlas der deskriptiven Anatomie des Menschen ("Atlas of descriptive human anatomy"), it has been published in more than 300 editions in 19 languages (15 editions in English). Sobotta was also the author of Atlas und Grundriss der Histologie und mikroskopischen Anatomie des Menschen (1902), later translated into English and published as Textbook and atlas of human histology and microscopic anatomy.

In 1944 he was awarded the Goethe-Medaille für Kunst und Wissenschaft.

Az egész könyv egy érzelmi hullámvasút, csak pozitív érzelmek nélkül. A cselekmény alapvetően nem rossz, de a 3. kötet végén a story ellaposul az agyidegeknél. A karakterfejlődés hatalmas negatívum, bár még mindig jobb mint a Langmanban. Ha egy esős vasárnap délután le akarsz ülni a karosszékedbe, és egy olyan könyvet akarsz olvasni, ami megsírat, mindenképpen ajánlom. Gecisok a klinikum. A legjobb rész, amikor becsukod és visszarakod a polcra, tudván, hogy soha többé rá sem nézel.

I can't really say I’ve read this book (you don’t actually read an atlas, since it’s all about the pictures), but I find it a great tool for studying. The hundreds of drawings, photographs, radiographs, ultrasounds, MRIs and CTs give a thorough and comprehensive view of gross anatomy (as well as some histology).
This is the 14th English edition, which corresponds to the 22nd German edition. Through all those years of revisions (the first edition came out in 1904) the Sobotta atlas has been refined to a state near perfection.
This edition gives the Latin (Terminologia Anatomica) names of gross anatomical structures, which might be a nuisance to some, but I study medicine at a Danish university and Latin nomenclature is the standard here, as in most of Europe.
