 Excellent February 19, 2008
I strongly recommend this book over the big book by Moore. This book (Essentials) contains all the most important information you need to know about the systems. It is thorough and straight to the point.
 By far, not the best anatomy book August 23, 2007

This book seemed like a nice quick read, but I found it rather insufficient for my anatomy course. The big Moore is much more elaborate and better suited for medical student. I ended up buying the the big Moore instead, which was great for thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. I wouldn't recommend it for head and neck or limbs--Snell's Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students is much better for that. Having both Moore and Snell is a lot of books, but it was well worth it for me.
Good Text and small enough to travel with February 12, 2007
This text provides basically the same info as the big Moore book but is much easier to carry around and read through.
I am an ECA hater and let me tell you Why January 23, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Why I hate the Book:
1. The text is often painful to read. I remember I once spent half an hour on just 1 page full of text because it was so boring. Some of it is still "too much" for a med student to know casually, but you'll probably feel guilty if you don't read it.
2. The Text, Figures, and Blue Boxes are scattered, so you constantly half to flip the page to see what the text is referring too. This gets highly irritating.
3. If you've had no previous exposure to anatomy (like me) this text has no mercy and forces you to catch up to speed on your own.
4. It's a horrible book to study from, class notes and other resources are better
5. Much of the book was spent defining the minutiae of the specific local anatomy and there was no appreciation for the "awesomeness" of anatomy, which added an aura of tediousness to the book instead of appreciation.
The reason why the book managed to get 2 stars in my rating
1. There were abundant clinical correlation blue boxes which saved my sanity (although the depth of these blue boxes was very superficial--they are going for breadth not depth).
2. Some of the information is of relatively high quality
3. Chapter 9 on Cranial Nerves is actually pretty good/helpful/high yield.
If you can avoid this book, I would. Instead I'd suggest going with something like Gray's Anatomy for students which has gotten great reviews and doesn't look as painful as ECA.
What you need for anatomy May 18, 2006

This is what you should read for medical school anatomy. I started our reading big Moore and discovered that it is quite wordy and slow to read. Overall not an efficient way to learn or use precious study time. This condensed version contains most of the information in big Moore. It has illustrations, tables, and clinical correlations. I switched my study method to reading this book (baby Moore) from cover to cover and studying it in detail. I then used big Moore as a reference for additional details and would skim big Moore and note things that seemed of possible importance not included in baby Moore. You can then use Netter, Grant, and/or Rohen atlases as a supplement.
