Book description
Atlas of Anatomy contains everything students need to successfully
tackle the daunting challenges of anatomy. Complete with exquisite,
full-color illustrations by award-winning artists Markus Voll and Karl
Wesker, the atlas is organized to lead students step-by-step through
each region of the body. Each region opens with the foundational
skeletal framework. The subsequent chapters build upon this foundation,
adding the muscles, then organs, then vessels, then nerves, and finally
presenting topographic anatomy for a comprehensive view. Each unit
closes with surface anatomy accompanied by questions that ask the reader
to apply knowledge learned for the real-life physical examination of
patients. Features:-2,200 full-color illustrations of unsurpassed
quality -Brief introductory texts that provide an accessible entry point
when a new topic is presented-Clinical correlates and images, including
radiographs, MRIs, CT scans, and endoscopic views -Muscle Fact pages
that organize the essentials, including origin, insertion, and
innervation--ideal for memorization, reference, and review-Navigators
that orient the reader with location and plane of dissection- A
scratch-off code provides access to Winking Skull. com PLUS, an
interactive online study aid, featuring over 600 full-color anatomy
illustrations and radiographs, “labels-on, labels-off” functionality,
and timed self-testsThis atlas provides everything students need in just
the right format, making the mastery of human anatomy eminently
achievable. "The 2200 full-color illustrations are...impressive.
The artists, with their sensitive rendering of light and shadow, have
achieved a remarkably effective 3-dimensional representation of
structures...without sacrificing clarity. Throughout, extensive tables
and charts make it easy to find factual information..It seems likely
that the trend away from buying or even using books will continue as
online resources become more prevalent...However the beauty of the
images in Thieme's
Atlas of Anatomy
, and the clarity of the concise tables and textual notes, may help stem
the ride and rekindle student interest in the use of
books."--Journal of the American Medical Association_x000D_ _x000D_

recommended."--JAOA_x000D_ _x000D_ "Have you ever pulled out
an atlas of anatomy to show a patient a tendon or muscle that is a
source of his symptoms? Or have you referred back to your anatomy text
from school to remind yourself of the relationship between structures?
Are you a student taking anatomy? Then the newly published book from
Thieme, Atlas of Anatomy
, and its interactive website, www. winkingskull. com, should be on your
reference shelf and bookmarked on your computer. The drawings appear to
leap off the page in three rather than two dimensions... I was blown
away by the website... It is engagingly interactive...highly
recommend[ed]."--ADVANCE for Physical Therapists and PT
Assistants_x000D_ _x000D_ "Of the several atlases that are
available to the student, the [atlas] is one of the most useful and
complete. Its 623 pages not only cover the gross anatomy of the human
body, but also have extensive illustrations encompassing the peripheral
innervation, lymphatics, arterial supply, and venous drainage of the
various regions... Many radiographic images are included when
appropriate to integrate the anatomy with the radiology. In addition,
surface anatomy illustrations and clinical correlation boxes are
generously sprinkled throughout the atlas to integrate this information
with future clinical experiences. The completeness of this Atlas along
with its presentation, clarity of illustrations, and content brings
everything together for the student. This Atlas is indeed a powerful
learning tool for students. It will be utilitzed by the students in
gross anatomy and neuroanatomy, and by the clerks in surgery, obstetrics
and gynecology, radiology, and neurology. Finally, this is an atlas that
they will return to as first-year residents when they review specific
regions of the human body for their training."--Clinical
Anatomy_x000D_ _x000D_ "The illustrations have exceptional clarity,
which makes them visually pleasing and engaging...
Comprehensive...Gilroy, MacPherson, and Ross have achieved their goal of
creating a single-volume atlas of anatomy...The atlas employs excellent
organizational strategies; it is filled with excellent illustrations,
diagrams, and clinical notes. Students as well as practicing clinicians
from a variety of healthcare fields will find this atlas easy to use and
very instructuve."--Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Pysical
Therapy_x000D_ _x000D_ "The Atlas presents a very well-prepared
full-color illustration of the gross anatomy of the human body divided
by regions...A useful atlas (particularly the online feature) at the
undergraduate level."--Implant Dentistry_x000D_ _x000D_
"Richly illustrated with color drawings and multiple tables. It
covers the entire body including the back, thorax, abdomen/pelvis, upper
limb, lower limb, head and neck, and neuroanatomy."--American
Journal of Neuroradiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "Very detailed,
beautifully produced illustrations."--Physiotherapy University of
