Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
âPeople if you out to learn anatomy, please do not think you can get a All-in-One anatomy atlas that contains EVERYTHING. It is simply not possible because of the depth of the subject.Anatomy is not simple. One has to “imagine” every anatomical detail in one’s brain without actually seeing things in 3-D.There are a lot of Netter’s enthusiasts, but let me assure you that you have to see the art-work and beauty of this atlas.The drawings are PHENOMENAL and you dont get even 20 % quality of pics in those “Look inside this book” options on Thieme website or on Google book reviews and other sites.The other good thing about this atlas is that gives an “overall” views for various systems eg arterial, venous systems for various systems. This atlas “gets close to the tree, but never loses the sight of the forest”. And thats what you need when you are studying anatomy to be a good doctor-Never lose the perspective; Never forget the BIGGER picture.I already have a Sobotta and I am going to buy the other two in the series (Neck and Internal Organs and General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System). If I knew about this atlas I probably would have gone for it earlier (I still would have gone for Sobotta since that is a great one too). I have always seen Netter’s around and I have never liked it. I think it is overrated and people cant spend on THREE atlas series but guys let me assure you—> this atlas is the REAL deal.There are some descriptions as well as but that is superficial and still you have to read proper text book (eg Keith L Moore etc).Another strength is the clinical correlates with regional anatomy which is really helpful for students .I am planing to do a video review of this atlas comparing it will Sobotta since many people are not aware of these gems but till then!!!!Best of Luck.UPDATE OCTOBER 2012:Two years later, I continue to admire the fantastic artwork of this atlas (I have all three volumes :-). The drawings are breathtakingly detailed and impressive. Colour scheme is nice and subtle.While studying neuroanatomy, I tried using illustrations from “Snell’s Neuroanatomy”, but that was clearly a mistake. Snell’s neuroanatomy does have good descriptive text, but its illustrations are horrible (in general). Many drawings are meant to be 3-D but appear to be 2 D or some weird orientation which is neither 3D nor 2D. Net result: you get more confused.Go to spinal cord’s blood supply in Snell’s , and then check out the corresponding drawings from Thieme Atlas. This is the best Atlas out there . A little bit of text in this atlas also adds to the enjoyment.Simply go for this one as FIRST choice.
âI bough this book after I found myself drowning in the first 2 weeks of my neurosciences module during the first year of med school. A friend of mine showed me the copy he had bought after being told to do so by several different physicians who he had told he was in his neuro module in school. I rarely ever post reviews about books because for the most part many are very average, but that is not the case with this book! This book is amazing! I literally do not know how people who don’t have this book are even passing neuroscience in medical school! Take my advice, buy this book and never look back – it will be the best decision you ever made when it comes to neuroscience in medical school
âAs a first year medical student going through neuroanatomy, I have found this text to be an excellent supplement to my class lectures. The illustrations surpass what I have found in other books, and the authors have managed to concisely and effectively describe the pathways in the central nervous system. I highly recommend this resource to students in medicine, neuroscience, or neuroanatomy.
âThieme Anatomy atlases have amazing illustrations and are consistently well-edited. Although I really liked their Musculoskeletal System atlas, I absolutely loved this one. It does not have as much explanation as Blumenfeld’s Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases (which is good for making neuro more engaging and less dry), but it has better pictures than any other neuro atlas and this is crucial in a course where understanding the relative locations of various tracts and nuclei is key to doing well.
âI used this book and the rest of the series in my college level anatomy class. It was more than adequate for studying from with multiple angles and views of each piece of the body. There were a few of the more complicated anatomical terms not included but those were rare and didn’t inhibit my learning.
âThis is a beautiful book. Note that it is, for the most part, a comprehensive collection of highly detailed and pedagogically oriented anatomical drawings with labels and captions — with only a minimal discussion of function — thus it may be best used as a reference or as companion to other resources (e..g, Blumenfeld’s Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases).
âGreat supplement for Head and Neck anatomy for M1. It was also good for Neuro but ascending and descending spinal tracts didn’t always match with our primary sources. Overall still a great book and definitely worth it.
âit’s a beautiful resource to study from and the illustrations are detailed and breathtaking …. simply a must have
âGood !
âI am studying a Masters in Osteopathy and for me a picture speaks a thousand words. These pictures are incredible. So clear and have great detail so it is easy to tell what sits anteriorly for example, what is removed from the picture and the size in relation. Fantastic book. Highly recommend.
âI love these books, I have all three volumes. I find them thorough and the illustrations clear and concise. They’re great to study from and have taken an honored space on my bookshelf beside my old trusty Netter.
âSpedizione e ricevimento dell’oggetto nei tempi previsti. Imballaggio adeguato. Transazione perfetta. Oggetto corrispondente alla descrizione. Un testo-atlante eccellente per contenuti e veste grafica, utilissimo per ogni studente del Corso di Laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia per studio e consultazione.
âthe item was as described and I was very pleased.i would recomend it to my friendskeep up the good work
