| | Customer Reviews: not bad... but (30 August 2008)this is a great, well organised textbook... a very good aid to learning. the only problem is, there's a factual mistake on every other page! all anatomy textbooks have mistakes, due to rushing the books through editing, but gray's is especially bad! make sure you buy another book if you want to gain a more accurate knowledge and read about topics from a number of different authors Henry would have loved it I'm sure! (03 January 2008)This is a very well presented book whose bright colours keep you awake just that little bit longer. There are idiosyncrasies such as in some places it ventures off in to physiology and forgets the very anatomy that the book is based on but if you are a medical or physio student you will have great fun spotting these and working out what is missing... maybe! Physio students may want to add Levengie & Norkin 'Joint Structure and Function' to it to allow a flawless understanding of the musculoskeletal system. I have used various anatomy and physiology books and this is by far the best one. This book, when used with Ganong Medical physiology, is the easiest way to achieve great Anat and Phys marks. This book also makes regular and, importantly, relevant references to clinical implications of anatomy to keep the reader focused. Lost a mark as I would have like to see more biomechanical / joint force info in there. The key to my success! (28 June 2007)This book is wonderful i cannot praise it enough! When i started med school i was told to buy clinically orientated anatomy (Moore and Dally) i struggled using this for the whole of my first year, and just before the exams i happened to glance at someone elses copy of Gray's and immediately ran out and bought it. Topics that had baffled and evaded me all year became clear in an instant- the diagrams are that good! The explanations are more concise and not so waffly. The text is larger, so for me was much less intimidating. I will admit that the text is not as detailed as Moore and Dally, but for me this was a bonus, as i felt it was actually within my grasp, rather than just completely blowing me away! Finally it is interesting that Birmingham University now reccomend this to their first year medics instead of Moore and Dally which they had used for many years. Also I'm pleased to say that having abandoned Moore and Dally, i aced my second year exams!!! great for visual learners (28 June 2007)As has been mentioned previously, Gray's Anatomy for Students has amazing illustrations. If you prefer to learn from pictures rather than descriptions this is the anatomy book for you. It very clearly illustrates relationships between structures and has multiple views of each area. A must have. Worth every penny! (03 February 2007)I enjoyed this book very much. I am a medical student in Italy, and I used it for my Anatomy part 2 exam. I wish I had discovered it sooner! Clear, simple, great pictures. I didn't use it alone because it lacks info sometimes, but it was great for understanding (really gorgeous pictures) and reviewing. I strongly suggest it. | |
