Grant's Dissector

Grant's Dissector Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Thirteenth edition of Grant's Dissector restores this renowned anatomy lab manual to its original purpose, which is to serve as a step-by-step manual for dissection procedures. This new edition features a more streamlined approach to cadaver dissection, focusing on more accurate, specific, and clear steps. The overall number of pages and figures has been reduced, reflecting a general trend toward fewer contact hours in the gross anatomy lab.

Review:

Doody's Review Source — "This edition of this classic dissection approach (it has been used for more than 60 years by many medical schools) has been shortened without sacrificing clarity or content. A major advantage of this edition is that the dissection steps have been numbered, thereby allowing instructors to more accurately detail steps that they may want omitted or modified. The dissector contains a number of new illustrations specifically designed to aid the process of step-by-step dissection. The new authorship of the 13th edition has improved upon this time-honored classic dissector. It has retained its complete and thorough list of structures to be dissected and identified, but has done so in a more concise fashion, saving students' time." Weighted Numerical Score: 94 - 4 Stars!
