    Frank Netter's atlas is a bible for any medical student. Netter's talent for reproducing the facts of anatomy is exquisite and unquestionable. However, as one looks a little deeper, it becomes clear that Netter is in fact a guru of function as well. Tendinous insertions are always on the correct part of bony protuberances, and fiber direction is always carefully detailed. Netter's bold colors and functional depictions are clearly superior.
    It is a great photographic atlas and offers the advantage of being photographs of superb dissections, and therefore more like what one encounters in the anatomy lab.

    This book is a must for a medical student!

    If you have any interest in human anatomy, then, you need a copy of Netter today!
