Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. includes this extraordinary atlas among its selections; the first edition was published in 1983. Now considerably revised and enhanced, the Atlas continues its mission of presenting human anatomy using color photos of cadavers, thus giving students a much more realistic experience of spatial dimensions than pleasantly colored drawings could ever accomplish. Each of eight chapters consists of two parts, the first describing the anatomical structure of the organs under consideration; the second depicting the regional anatomy, with desciption of the superficial layers followed by the deeper and deepest layers thus gearing the work to complement dissection classes in medical and dental schools. Schematic drawings of nerves and vessels, the course of muscles, and the nomenclature of various regions enhance understanding of the details seen in the photographs.
