The New Atlas by Mc Cracken
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The presentation shows a 3-dimensional and anatomically correctversion of the human body depicted in full-color. All of themajor body systems are depicted for view by a wide constituencyof medical students, biology students, students of anatomyand a broad general readship. Each body system has a locatorfor ease of navigation through the text. Illustrations areannotated methodically in full color. The musculature is setforth in high definition for ease of identification.The work is worth the price paid. Every scientific andmedical library should have one. This presentation would beperfect for any class project in science.
For the layman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is a beautiful book. I love the pictures. It is NOT for an A & P class though. You would need a book like Martini, Marieb, Tortora, Van de Graaff for that. But, the pictures are beautiful and on nice paper. The information that is presented is accurate. It is just not detailed. If you expect a very technical book, this is NOT the book for you. If you just want an easy read and overview of the body, this book is for you.
New and exciting

This book is really very interesting. It isn't like the regular A & P text books. It describes some anatomy but it wouldn't get you through an anatomy class at all. The pictures are beautiful and the book is huge with wonderful descriptions. It is very easy to understand, even for a lay person. I enjoyed the book very much. Disregard the other bad reviews. I can't believe someone would make a huge deal about a circumsized cadaver! (which is how they reproduced their photos!!)
Simply wonderful.

This book is an excellent reference tool for the layman who wants to know more about human anatomy. The illustrations are unsurpassed. I was astonished to see that it had such a low average customer rating, until I read the negative reviews. One is apparently from a "serious student of anatomy." I will confess ignorance as to whether it would suffice as a textbook for professional anatomy training; I just know that it greatly enhanced my lay understanding of how the human body is structured and how it works. The other negative reviews are from anti-circumcision activists who are apparently outraged that the depiction of the male penis in the book is that of a circumcised rather than an uncircumcised organ. Enough said.
Where Wonders Never Cease
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is the most incredible book on Human Anatomy that you could ever want. Because of the amazing new scanning technology created for this monumental project, the visuals are the most clear and inclusive possible in our time. The printed information is clear and concise, the layout is easy to use and well done. To put it simply, to be the slightest bit interested in the human body and NOT buy this book would be an error in judgement. Get it. You will love it! Wow! What a book! Thank you to the creaters for offering it to the public at such a rediculously affordable price!
