Book Description
The ADAM Student Atlas of Anatomy is an invaluable learning and review tool developed for medical students as well as undergraduate and graduate students in allied health and human biology. This new second edition updates the first edition's renowned and innovative approach to understanding the human body. The Atlas emphasizes surface anatomy and features unique additional views (posterior, medial, lateral) of important structures that are often difficult for students to understand and appreciate - such as the perineum, head and neck, and limb muscles. Throughout, the art in this full-color Atlas (featuring cadaveric photographs from the Bassett Collection) takes a three-dimensional approach to anatomic structure. Illustrations are appropriately labeled for the beginning anatomy student and are supplemented with radiographs, cross-sectional images, correlated tables, and illustrations of isolated muscles, bones, and attachments. The coverage and detail found throughout the ADAM Student Atlas of Anatomy make it a must-have for every student who is attempting to master the basics of anatomy for the first time. Amazon.com Exclusive: A Letter from the Authors
While our knowledge of human anatomy has changed relatively little in the past 100 years, its place in the training of all health science professionals has changed profoundly. Anatomists have successfully responded to the challenges created by this reduction in curricular time by both reducing the body of knowledge covered in their courses and by sifting the body of anatomical knowledge to winnow out the specialist details from essentials that are basic to the clinical education of every health sciences and medical student.
We created the ADAM Student Atlas as a visual guide to these basic parts of the body. The new second edition of the ADAM Student Atlas has been completely revised to include a simplified labeling system, more images of fewer structures and, in particular, more images of those parts of the body that present the beginning student with the greatest difficulties. Another innovation, in keeping with our student orientation, is the extensive incorporation of a systemically arranged comprehensive anatomy section at the beginning of each regional chapter. We believe this systemic emphasis makes the atlas an ideal resource of allied health students who are taking systems based anatomy courses. Finally, given the importance of surface anatomy, we begin each chapter with surface anatomy and conclude with the traditional sequences of superficial-to-deep images that students will see when dissecting. Our knowledge of human anatomy and our combined years of teaching experience enabled us to create the new edition of this one-of-a-kind learning tool for anyone needing to master basic anatomy for the first time. We hope you find it to be an essential part of your learning.

Insight into your inner self... June 26, 2008
For students or anyone interested in what's going on under the surface of our skin, this easy to understand anatomy book is a wealth of information. How does it all fit inside of us, what goes where and what does it do? The answers are here. And if someone tries to sell you a summer home in the Isles of Langerhan, this book will explain why you shouldn't write the check.
JUST WHAT I NEEDED June 25, 2008
As an Ortho-Bionomy Practitioner I have delved into many Anatomy & Physiology Books for information. They just didn't illustrate what I was searching for.
At last I can journey into the 'works' to how and where I am 'meeting' with my client's issues.

This review of A.D.A.M. Student Atlas of Anatomy is lengthy, as the intended readership for the book is medical students and undergraduate or graduate students studying the health professions and biology. I showed most of a difficult chapter (the Pelvis and Perineum) so that you will be able to decide if this book will be helpful for you.
This was a difficult review for me to do, as I am a layperson who has never taken nor studied anatomy; still I can appreciate a detailed and fascinating book such as this one, which has much to offer even casual readers like myself. I hope that the video shows this.
Highly recommended.

See drawings and actual photos of the human body side-by-side June 19, 2008
This book is a comprehensive medical student atlas that uses meticulously rendered illustrations, as well as cadaver photographs to show every part of the human body. The book is fascinating and beautifully done.
The side-by-side comparisons of the illustrations and the photographs are great. One spread will show the illustration of a body part on the left, and the exact same body part in a cadaver photo on the right. This gives a great understanding of what what the body part really looks like, as well as the usual technical drawings.
The quality of the book is evident on every page. This book is meant as a study guide, and therefore the reproduction of the drawings and photographs needs to be perfect. Even the smallest structures are easy to see.
If you are interested in peering into the human body and understanding anatomy, this book will be very useful.
 Good Learning Tool June 19, 2008
I actual chose this item with my daughter in mind. She loves science, and thoroughly enjoyed a unit on Anatomy that her class did a year or so ago. This reference source will be one she turns to again and again as she goes through school. Excellent source.
