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.

 Great illustrations July 9, 2008
The multiple views and illustrations are terrific. It didn't have one of just the veinous system that I was looking for but looks excellent for bones, muscles, and nerves.
Imagine the Body July 8, 2008
If the goal of anatomy class is to help the student picture and remember the different parts of the human body, then this book succeeds on the first level. The drawings couples sometimes with cadaveric photographs give a very clear image of where different systems and body part connect and lay in relationship to each other. However, if the student is to memorize these parts the book lacks the pedagogical approach necessary to aid in this task. Some students can indeed just look at pictures and charts that detail where one part interacts with another but many students cannot. Perhaps this a test to weed out any future medical student who can't hack it but frankly I want my doctor and nurse to know more than where things are, I want them to know how they should work and what each part does. I hope an anatomy class would provide such information though I'm told by my colleagues who have taken such classes they do not do much more than what a book like this offers. So I'm sure the "A.D.A.M Student Atlas of Anatomy" is a great anatomy book but as a college professor I was hoping it would offer students more aids in learning about the body than just drawings, photographs, and charts.

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.
