New York/Stuttgart – “Atlas of Anatomy, Second Edition,” recently published by Thieme, is the new edition of Anne Gilroy et al.’s award-winning “Atlas of Anatomy” which became a bestseller by promoting the process of learning anatomy while providing exquisite art and clinical context. This new edition takes the same user-friendly approach as the first edition and is packed with over 2,400 full-color illustrations. It guides users step-by-step through each region of the body, helping them master the details of anatomy.
Popular features retained from the first edition:
- Coverage of each region intuitively arranged to simplify learning: beginning with the skeletal framework, then adding muscles, organs, vasculature, and nerves, and concluding with “topographic” illustrations that put it all together
- Over 170 tables summarize key anatomic information for ease of study and review
- Innovative, user-friendly format in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic
- Muscle Fact spreads-- ideal for memorization, reference, and review--organize the essentials about muscles, including origin, insertion, innervation, and action
Features of the new edition:
- Even more clinical correlations to help students make the connection between anatomy and medicine
- Surface anatomy spreads now include regions and reference lines or planes in addition to landmarks and palpable structures to develop physical exam skills
- New sectional anatomy spreads at the end of units build familiarity with 2D views of anatomic regions
“Atlas of Anatomy” is the student’s choice:
“Thieme is the best anatomy atlas by far, hands down. Clearer pictures, more pictures, more realistic pictures…structures broken up in ways that make sense and shown from every angle…includes clinical correlations and summary charts of innervations and actions. That's about all there is to it. Just buy it. Thank you Thieme!!! Ok, now back to studying...”
“In my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed …. The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember. Easier to remember is key.”
“Impressive…remarkably effective.” – Journal of the American Medical Association
