View anatomy from a clinical perspective with hundreds of exquisite, hand-painted illustrations created by pre-eminent medical illustrator Frank H. Netter, MD. During his student years, Dr. Netter’s notebook sketches attracted the attention of the medical faculty and other physicians, allowing him to augment his income by illustrating articles and textbooks. Now translated into 16 languages, it is the anatomy atlas of choice among medical and health professions students the world over. No matter how beautifully painted, how delicately and subtly rendered a subject may be, it is of little value as a medical illustration if it does not serve to make clear some medical point. Dr. Netter’s planning, conception, point of view, and approach are what inform his paintings and what make them so intellectually valuable.

"It's hard work learning this stuff so stick your head into it and Netter's will help a ton."
"When you are looking at the 3-D models in lab, it looks like they designed it after this book's renderings (because let's face it, cadavers do not look like the lab models)."
"Wonderful, detailed images with several viewpoints for each area of anatomy."
"Great atlas for anatomy."
"Excellent book."
"I purchased this book as new and instead I got one with a sticker on the back of the last page and with coffee or something spilled all over it, the first pages were even like stuck together due to this coffee."
"Hopefully, this version will be compatible for my coursework as it is more of a pain to return this and hopefully get the correct version in time for school."
You can trace arteries, veins, and nerves through their courses and bifurcations... reinforce your understanding of muscle origins and insertions from multiple views and dissection layers...and develop a better understanding of the integration of individual organs in the workings of each body system throughout the human form.

"The book is not expensive at around £10 and I would recommend buying it to any medical student!"
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I prefer this book - the book is well organized, the main points (key words) are bolded. While it's true that the margins of each anatomical feature are not as well delineated as Kapit's book, I find this to be less important, since in the body (cadaver or real) there isn't necessarily a line to separate out the features anyways."
"Many of the diagrams have areas that aren’t clearly labeled, or are not labeled at all (and are thus left either uncolored, colored with no label, or require you to label them yourself). The obvious answer is to not color the structures when they aren’t labeled, but it totally defeats the purpose of a coloring book when the final product is half colored and you’re not totally sure if you’ve gotten all the parts right (a black and white reproduction at an angle isn’t always easy to confirm from another source)."
"I teach undergraduate level A&P and was looking for a good resource for my students."
"I bought another anatomy and physiology coloring book before I was told we needed one for class and it was a sloppy joke compared to this."
"I would highly recommend this as a unique gift for anyone who is looking to purchase a gift for someone in a program at school that requires them to learn anatomy."
"There are a lot of coloring pages, so it is worth the money."
"It is a good coloring book, but does not have as many tables and info that i would like."
"I never even opened it once class started because I was too busy preparing for lab and lecture."

It jumps all over the place and it makes it difficult to quickly flip to a section and find the topic you’re looking for."
"I supplemented towards the end flipping through FA CK for derm, sports med, and ethics - the rapid review was not as great as it was for step 1. I'm fine annotating with UWorld into it, and there's plenty of space in the book to do so - but I'm digging around forever, flipping pages to figure out where the topic is because there's no pattern to how they're organized - not head to toe, not totally timeline based (for Ob), and it's infuriating."
"Well written, easy book to use for review."
"Only problem is there is no Musculoskeletal section."
"A good reference but too overwhelming to actually study from."
"This book is great for test taking strategies and board prep."
"Hence, you have to be extremely careful with the book."
"I compared this book with kaplan notes, and the step up series and found it lacking in information on many fronts."

Find Best Price at Amazon"-Buying the books gives you access to an online portion of materials that includes 3 practice exams, and two "mini" passage tests per topic. My biggest issue with EK books were that they did not connect the concepts in a manner that helped me understand or remember the material better. And when I say decipher, I mean that the explanations are so vague I would end up spending countless hours trying to learn the concepts at a "deeper conceptual level", when really my issue was that frankly I just sucked at eliminating wrong answers and making educated guesses. I was able to borrow the new Exam Kracker books from a friend two weeks prior to taking the new MCAT as last minute practice after utilizing all of the Kaplan and Khan materials. I felt well prepared (in combination with Khan Academy) and I had access to 3 practice exams at less cost than other prep companies. Also, please note that the most critical review (thus far) of these books is an MCAT instructor paid to teach from Exam Krackers materials."
"Little side panels with MCAT Expertise, Mnemonics, and Real Life ties in are great in case you're having a tough time understanding the section in question. They also do a really good job of tying things together; they make it a point to tell you "well, your studies of Biochem are not isolated. There are also some interesting ways that they introduce a chapter and relate it to you- I've even cracked up a few times at their scienc-y jokes. Then I went through them all the way again, taking scrupulous notes on all the important stuff that I had highlighted, or that the MCAT Expertise portions had brought up. But, there are only so many tricks to know and when you spend enough time figuring out how to solve them when they appear, you get a very good grasp on the basic material. They were much easier to answer because I had developed a strong understanding of topics in anticipation of harder questions."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Pamela has certainly given some great ideas on how medical practitioners can improve and revamp their practices to allow more compassion and healing to occur."
"A family physician in Eugene, Oregon, she had grown despondent about the practice of medicine which dehumanized both her and her patients. In my dream, I saw grandmothers and grandchildren, teachers and teenagers, farmers and firefighters--entire communities--coming together to build ideal clinics and hospitals. Feeling invincible, I phoned the newspaper and told the editor that I'd be opening an ideal clinic created entirely by our community. Then I called a series of town hall meetings and invited citizens to design the clinic of their dreams. Pam isn't new to writing, having co-authored "Goddess Shift: Women Leading For a Change" along with Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Aung San Suu Kyi and many others in 2010."
"From Diarrhea Diagrams to Godiva Gallstones, it's all explained within... Dr. Pamela Wible MD is a hero. In the book Dead Doctors Don't Lie, Dr. Joel Wallach DVM has previously pointed out that despite living and working in the supposedly greatest medical system anywhere in the world, US Doctors are dying at alarming rates. He points out that top cardiologists are dying at young ages - of heart disease. Dr. Wallach elaborates on the pandemic of mineral deficiencies and the lack of understanding of true pillars of health within western medicine (yet very well understood within the veterinary agriculture industry.). What Dr. Wallach fails to address that Dr. Wible brings to the forefront, why are doctors dying at such an alarming rate - of suicide? I was born with a serious congenital situation that remained undiagnosed into my 40s and is so serious that multiple aspects of it's complications I have personally endured for 20+ years is extremely life-threatening. I've spent the past 2 decades learning far too much about DVTs, PEs, PTS, Lymphedema, Raynaud's syndrome as a side effect of purple toe syndrome due to the adverse effects of warfarin, ulcerations, phlebitis, cellulitis, and always wondering, will I at some point need to learn more about nutcracker syndrome, pelvic congestion or worse? NO ONE ever mentioned to me MTS and a couple decades of anti-coagulants may predispose me to something as serious as an entire femur of stress fractures. It seriously took nearly 9 months from onset of new INTENSE symptoms and the first visit to primary care to get that diagnosis. I won't go into the 2 decades of prior mismanagement of my case.. nor why my husband was sent home with a prognosis of "you don't understand... you're taking [you're husband] home to die... he'll be dead within 2 weeks, probably a few days..." nor why here we are, 7 years later, and he's not only still alive but WE reversed his "end stage severe congestive heart failure" and how WE "cured" his former 18 year battle of Type 2 Diabetes. It will take true Medical Professionals such as Dr. Pamela Wible, Dr. Patch Adams, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Ma Lan, Dr. Julian Whitaker, Dr. Richard Garber, Dr. Octavio Chirino, Dr. Simon Yu, Dr. Christian Wessling and many others to fully help transform Western Medicine into a viable sustainably resilient medical system. I want to switch my primary care to Dr. Wible, alas, I live outside her service area. Pamela is creating a growing wave of doctors who are foregoing the current EXPENSIVE medical paradigm that ultimately you and I and our children are paying for, and going back to the way Modern Medicine SHOULD be practiced. Pamela has uniquely found a way to restore much needed HUMANITY back to western medicine."
"Thank you for showing us all "how to" be a physician with heart; and not just writing a dull book full of words with no examples."

I felt like I got some questions on the test that the science section touched on but didn't delve very deep into (mostly concerning with the endocrine system), but a majority of the science questions could be answered by reading and studying the book. I recently graduated from college with a health related degree, but I do think that without this study guide I wouldn't have done as well, it helped me brush up on topics I had forgotten as well as teach me things I never knew (mostly relating to English grammar section)."
"Yesterday, I took my TEAS test after using this guide for approximately three weeks, and I am pleased to have earned an 88% with a national percentile rank of 97. Since statistics is tested, albeit very slightly, I would recommend you study the regression charts and lessons for positive/negative skew. Some topics I would recommend for students to reassess are: the components and anatomy of eukaryotes / prokaryotes, ionic and covalent bonds, the products of both mitosis and meiosis, and DNA replication. Test yourself with flash cards the most commonly misspelled words, prefixes and suffixes. In conclusion, this is a wonderful guide that will wrack and plumb your brain for all of the information you should have learned up to this point."

Each chapter opens with a visual “Chapter Roadmap” that guides students through the material and shows how concepts are related within and across chapters. The new modular organization makes key concepts more readily apparent and understandable to students, and new videos help students see why the content matters in their course as well as their future careers. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and. pursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. She contributes to the New Directions, New Careers Program at Holyoke Community College by funding a staffed drop-in center and by providing several full-tuition scholarships each year for women who are returning to college after a hiatus or attending college for the first time and who would be unable to continue their studies without financial support. She funds the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and has underwritten renovation and updating of one of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at that college. In 1994, Dr. Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to Holyoke Community College. These include a PanCanadian Educational Technology Faculty Award (1999), a Teaching Excellence Award from the Students’ Association of Mount Royal (2001), and the Mount Royal Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award (2004). Following Dr. Marieb’s example, Dr. Hoehn provides financial support for students in the form of a scholarship that she established in 2006 for nursing students at Mount Royal University.

When you look at the reviews for "Human Anatomy & Physiology" it will show reviews from people who received the hardcover book, the kindle book, and the 3-holed punched book. When ordering make sure you order "Human Anatomy & Physiology, Books a la Carte Plus MasteringA&P with eText -- Access Card Package (9th Edition)" if you need the full package. However, if you copy and paste the full title: "Human Anatomy & Physiology, Books a la Carte Plus MasteringA&P with eText -- Access Card Package (9th Edition)", you should be able to find the correct package. It's usually nothing a little tape couldn't correct but if you are the kind of person who is rough on their books, turns pages aggressively, throws their books across the room, then you might want to invest in the hard cover book."
"I just do not see the justification to charge someone almost $200 for a new book when the previous edition is almost the exact same, with just replacing of pictures. Always try to get the previous edition if you can, your save a lot of money, around 1/5 the price. These publishers just drive me nuts, I understand they need to make money, but come on, most of these books are never completely rewritten and they come out with a new edition every 2-3 years and those editions like this one, are almost exactly the same, except for replacement of pictures and a few updated stories/examples. Getting the older book, will save you money, so you will be able to purchase the other software."
"But if you're going to school on your own dime, or want to saver your parents a good bit of $$, or you don't want to make your school loans a good bit bigger than they have to be: Join those of us that almost ALWAYS buy the older edition for most all classes that still require a hard book. JSUK, we're the ones that look a little confused in class sometimes... & Just as an fyi, the money I saved on just 2-3 of my books (medical term & this AP class-both this book & the lab manual) more than paid for my entire medical reference library. The only reason I took off 1 star is because its an outdated edition for most classes so you have to work harder sometimes to get the same info."

If you get it, know that there is no way in hell that your prof will be able to cover everything that is in a chapter in just one lecture, so read cautiously and don't think about learning everything that is written because it is very likely that you will get so thinned out by all the information that you will do poorly."
