Book Reviews of Grant's Dissector (Tank, Grant's Dissector)
Book Review: Great Book - if you use it for what it is
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an M1 at UAMS, and Dr. Tank (the author of this text) is actually our Anatomy professor. The purpose of this dissector is to provide a concise, easily understood method for dissection while in lab. The images are intentionally simplistic with the understanding that there are other references (such as Rohen or Netter, which is what I use) that provide more detailed at-home references while studying. Tank actually recommends his grease dissector, with 2 other grease atlases per table in lab. Though the order of dissection may not make sense as you work through, it is planned with the intention of preserving reference structures for later dissections. I've completed a cadaveric anatomy course twice now, and actually hated this dissector the first time I used it. However, I realized that if I took note of the strucures and Clinical Corrs in the order/ way explained by the dissector, I was able to memorize the material more efficiently. THIS IS NOT AN ATLAS - it is a dissector, and as such, I think it serves its purpose.
Summary of Grant's Dissector (Tank, Grant's Dissector)
Since 1940, when Dr. J.C. Boileau Grant created the first lab manual based on Grant's method of dissection, Grant's Dissector has clearly established its authority and preeminence as the "gold standard" of gross anatomy dissection manuals. In the last edition, the material was streamlined to focus on more accurate, specific and clear steps, based on market conditions and feedback. This edition continues to focus on the trend of reduced lab hours yet maintains the quality and reliability of Grant's original manual.
Grant's Dissector, Fourteenth Edition features over 40 new figures to provide consistent appearance and include additional details, and is cross-referenced to the leading anatomy atlases, including Grant's, Netter's, Rohen, and Clemente.
