ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW
Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy is the most loved and best selling anatomy atlas in the English language. In over 540 beautifully colored and easily understood illustrations, it teaches the complete human body with unsurpassed clarity and accuracy. This new edition features 57 revised, 200 relabeled and 17 wholly new plates, drawn fully in the tradition of Frank Netter, and includes more imaging and clinical images than ever before.

  • Includes uniquely informative drawings that allow you - and have allowed generations of students - to learn structures with confidence.
  • Associates normal anatomy with an application of that knowledge in a clinical setting.
  • Offers a strong selection of imaging to show you what is happening three dimensionally in the human body, the way you see it in practice.


  • Reorganizes leader lines, to make them easier to follow and visually cleaner and unambiguous on the page.
  • Includes CD-ROM with over 80 of the most important anatomy illustrations from the book to use in presentations and lectures.
USER REVIEWS
"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."

Soft Cover 4th Edition:

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:

"This atlas offers you the complete body parts. You will never miss even just a single detail of the part you are looking or studying at. This is the best to use together along with Rohen and to compare with the real human structures for better understanding. Because real bodies are far more hard to understand compared to that of idealized drawings."

"This book is a fantastic supplement to my studies! I highly recommend getting it to anyone in the health care industry. The hard cover is great because it looks more professional and is more durable. It's worth the extra money...either way, Netter's is a must have!"

"This book is excellent. The Netter drawings are the Gold standard. They give a complete anatomical picture of the body with musculature, nerves and organ systems. "

"I have not come across a single medical student, or physician for that matter, who does not agree that the Atlas of Human Anatomy by Netter is by far the best human atlas available. I purchased the 2nd edition soft cover back in the mid 90's as a 1st year med student. I recently purchased this hard cover 4th edition because my practice gave me CME money to spend at will. The 4th edition has some new plates and accommodates artist impressions of transverse CT views using late Dr Netter's style."
