Description: This book is the most complete anatomy book for medical students. I am doing a systems-based approach, and in my course the clinical application is emphasised from the outset. The book strikes the balance between giving the detail of pure & descriptive anatomy (needed to truly visualise the gross anatomy of the human body) without the prose-like verse of classical anatomy texts. The clinical orientation of this text allows you to see why you need to understand the anatomy, and practically apply the knowledge in the clinical setting.The writing style is easy to read, and not as prose-like as some other texts (eg Grays). Ideal. With the synopses (bottom line) and highlighting of words it is now more a study-friendly than reference text. The blue boxes are perfectly pitched to students studying anatomy to allow them to see how to apply the knowledge.There is a reason though that Clinically Oriented Anatomy is the best-seller. It is the best. I would recommend this to any Med student as an essential buy.Kevin McCarthy, University College Dublin
