Since 1940, when Dr. J.C. Boileau Grant created the first lab manual based on Grant's method of dissection, Grant's Dissector has clearly established its authority and preeminence as the "gold standard" of gross anatomy dissection manuals. In the last edition, the material was streamlined to focus on more accurate, specific and clear steps, based on market conditions and feedback. This edition continues to focus on the trend of reduced lab hours yet maintains the quality and reliability of Grant's original manual. Grant's Dissector, Fourteenth Edition features over 40 new figures to provide consistent appearance and include additional details, and is cross-referenced to the leading anatomy atlases, including Grant's, Netter's, Rohen, and Clemente.

For students, this gross anatomy dissection manual covers material by region with instructions through a series of numbered steps, and for this edition, has been rewritten to make instructions more concise and appropriate to current curriculum. Tank (neurobiology and developmental sciences, U. of Arkansas for Medical Sciences) adds 40 new figures with additional details, as well as cross-references to major anatomy atlases. Review sections have been updated and expanded and the order of dissection has been changed. The size of the manual is also smaller. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
