The Atlas of Musculo-skeletal Anatomy

"This is a first class guide to the human body and a brilliant study aid. However..... don't buy from A1Books. When our copy arrived damaged from the USA they would only consider a refund and replacement when the damage was not major and I only asked for £5 off. My son needed the book for study and could not be without it for another 2-3 weeks while waiting for a replacment. Not such good service as Amazon. Beware."

"I bought this book on something of a whim (Waterstones had a sale on and my next placement was Outpatients - thought I should swat up a bit) and I am astounded at the quality of the book.

It is laid out in a sensible manner, and rather than having to stare for half an hour through loads of muscles to find the one you are looking for, and then work out where it runs, its origins and insertions, etc, the diagrams are clear and concise featuring one or two muscles per plate, with the full picture elsewhere for reference.

The information is presented in a scientific manner and the author acknowledges when information is disputed by various sources, or when it comes from a reputable/not so great source which I found quite useful.

Definitely worth the money, and very useful for learning anatomy!"

"I have recently acquired the Atlas of Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy as a teaching aid and reference book. I have a number of such books, but this one stands out from the crowd. The clarity of information, both visual and textual, is outstanding. There are very few anatomy books that I would consider a great bedtime reading, but this is one of them (actually, the only one!).

Everything about this book exudes quality: what it says; how it says it; what it shows; how it shows it; the paper; and the cover. Truly a work of art and inspiration. Also, I found the extra information on body mechanics a welcome bonus."
