Synopsis

This new atlas features print anatomic images from the A.D.A.M. software program in a compendium of the fundamentals of human anatomy. Not intendend as a comprehensive reference, the A.D.A.M. atlas increases the student user's understanding of the essentials with a regional approach using both illustrations and actual cadaver views. After an introduction, each chapter uses A.D.A.M.'s layered artwork for a traditional guide to dissection format. This atlas aims to provide the beginner with key views from a variety of orientations.

About this title

Review

"By including both systemic coverage of the body and regional approaches, the authors reach both undergraduate medical students and allied health students....This anatomy atlas covers each significant region of the human body in detail appropriate for reduced-hours medical curricula, as is the case in many major medical schools. In addition to the regional treatment of the human body, a standard for most anatomical atlases, the authors also present a systemic treatment of the body, carefully woven into the regional anatomy approach. In effect, the authors are able to target two different audiences with their unique style and approach. In addition, the detailed regional illustrations with only the most clinically relevant structures labeled are juxtaposed with cadaveric dissection photos. The authors stress the significance of including cadaver photos, explaining that many students prefer to use illustrations that resemble their own dissections, but usually only as a refresher before exams. Thus, by including traditional illustrations and photographs, the authors have eliminated the need to purchase more than one anatomy atlas for studying....This is an impressive student atlas."
