Invaluable resource for an MS1	Customer Rating:
We use Netter's atlas for anatomy lab and in our own personal studying. The atlas has excellent cut-aways and has proven to be incredibly helpful when pulling all of the information together for exams.

Netters	Customer Rating:
If you're taking anatomy, you need this book...period. Very good illustrations of all the structures. I would recommend getting the hard cover since mine is falling apart slightly.

Atlas of Human Anatomy	Customer Rating:
I couldn't have passed my anatomy test without this book. I like the way that each diagram peels away a part so you can see the underlying layers: it's a great tool in seeing and understanding where the muscles lie. The pictures are clearly readable and are of a decent size (inlcuding the text).

PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE B/W EDITIONS

Customer Rating:

From what I have been able to gather online from the publisher (Elsevier), the Professional Edition is the only one that is supposed to come with the CD, which is purported to contain "over 80 of the most important anatomy illustrations from the book to use in presentations and lectures." View the differences between the editions: Professional 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416036999 Soft Cover 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416033851 It seems to be $60 more (at least, depending on where you look) for just for the CD (and the Hardcover opposed to the Soft Cover). The Professional Edition is more like a Reference book for a library, but hey maybe you need that. The 4th Ed. Soft Cover still comes with the ability to log onto "www.netteranatomy.com" for "Ninety plates from the book as well as a powerful and varied bank of ancillary material, unique to this atlas, are available online" through that Netter Anatomy Website. Through I'm fairly certain that the Professional Edition also comes with that ability. Also in response to the earlier post, the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy 3.0 CD only comes with the 3rd Edition, not the newest 4th Edition. Here is the link just to that 3rd Edition CD: Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy 3.0, 3rd Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781929007141 Hope this helps.

A fantastic resource

Customer Rating:

Frank Netter, M.D. created approximately 20,000 paintings of the human body and provided countless medical students with an invaluable educational resource. He can be credited for teaching multiple generations of doctors worldwide. Although he is now deceased, his legacy continues to provide students with intricate knowledge that only a physician and gifted artist could have given. I am thrilled to have purchased what I consider an educational necessity for such a reasonable price.
