Book Reviews of Atlas of Anatomy (Thieme Anatomy)

Book Review: Brings a unique concept to anatomy atlases.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Thieme (pronounced "team-uh") atlas teaches anatomy from deep to superficial. Each unit starts with skeletal structures and subsequently adds muscles, organs, arteries, veins, lymph nodes and nerves. At the end of each unit, a few topography illustrations put everything in place to give the reader a since of the big picture. Finally, surface anatomy is presented to train the reader to see the anatomy underneath the skin of a patient. Figure captions, muscle tables, clinical correlations, and radiographs are present and helpful, but perhaps a little sparse. Radiographs are present in Netter, but the others aren't, though they ARE present and abundant on the accompanying website, netteranatomy.com . The Thieme website winkingskull.com is comparatively weak, but most of its content is free if you register.

The organization of this atlas is consistent throughout and far superior to Grant and Netter atlases, perhaps because the illustrators and collaborators built this atlas from the ground up around this "deep to superficial" concept of teaching anatomy. There are more illustrations in this atlas than Netter and Grant, allowing the illustrations to focus on a few key concepts with each. (There are also schematics illustrating the path of lymph node drainage and autonomic innervation, the former being seriously lacking in Netter.) Sometimes when I was learning anatomy, I felt that Netter and Grant illustrations threw too much at me to learn in a single illustration. I would have LOVED having this atlas during those moments. But this leads me to a weak point in this atlas as compared to Netter (and maybe Grant): the "topography" sections that I mentioned above, with "everything" put in place, are inferior to the other two atlases. The courses that arteries, veins, and nerves take just aren't depicted as well as in Netter. The neurovasculature of the lower limb comes to mind as a weak area in the topography section. Also, each illustration is not as heavily labeled as in Netter. Great while you are learning anatomy, but a weak point for those who have already been through an anatomy course. Since this atlas is so "broken down" with weak topography sections, Grant and Netter will continue to reign in the cadaver lab. Netter is still my first reference as I review anatomy now. If the topography areas are revised and maybe a dozen more illustrations added, this atlas would top Netter hands down.

Summary of Atlas of Anatomy (Thieme Anatomy)

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-tests

This atlas provides everything students need in just the right format, making the mastery of human anatomy eminently achievable.
