Product Description
Review
"A winner .....This book will prove to be very popular with medical students."
–Fourth Year Medical Student, University of Manchester.
–Fourth Year Medical Student, University of Manchester.
"...this book should prove extremely useful and ideal fro that last–minute revision before the exams."
– MEDISCOPE (Manchester Medical School Magazine)
"This is an excellent book, especially for those in the first year MBChB and BDS courses, but also for those at later stages who need to refer back to what they have forgotten (or never learnt) from previous years."
University of Birmingham′s Queen Medical Magazine
Published Reviews of the 1st Edition
"This is an appropiate book for all health sciences students who whis to quickly review anatomy. It is undoubtedly designed for those readers who alreay have a good knowledge of gross anatomy."
Sandra E Inouye, PhD (Midwestern University)
"It does pack in a reasonable amount of anatomy with a simple, clear and consistent design to every page.
This helps the reader delineate the main points of the topic– this is rarely achieved with other books which don′t diffrentiate between the core knowledge base and the advanced detail.
The diagrams also look rather fresh and not too busy helping to keep the student focused.The book does a good job of providing an anatomical refresher, ideal for clinical students who may not have the time to go through larger texts."
GKT Gazette, December 2002
"This book reviews the basic essentials of anatomy and proves to be a very userfriendly revision guide."
Northwing, vol.67, no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002
"This is the latest addition to the ′At a Glance′ series, and a worthy one at that.
.While it will never replace a large breezeblock–sized anatomy book, this will be sitting on my shelf for all those occasions when all you need is clear, simple explanation with a decent diagram, or maybe just for cheering me up with its picture of a maniacally grinning skeleton on the front cover."
University of Birmingham′s Queen Medical Magazine, June 2002
Mediscope (Manchester Medical School Magazine<)
...this book should prove extremely useful and ideal fro that last-minute revision before the exams.

Format:Paperback
This book is very well written, and extremely well presented. It tries to cover each topic on a double spread (e.g. the pleura and airways), with pictures on one side and text on the other. This is a no nonsense, no waffle, straight to the point anatomy revision book. Its been an invaluable aid to my revision and has helped me pick up a few extra points ive missed out in my notes. I would describe this book as the ultimate anatomy revision textbook!

I wish I'd bought this as an undergraduate instead of the reccomended texts. Didn't actually buy it until i was studying (at the beach in Oz) for my MRCS. Really handy size/weight to carry round with you everywhere.
Excellently illustrated. Well explained- succinct and to the point. Def buy it if you're anywhere between undergraduate and MRCS level. Buy it before the reccommended texts and don't ever waste your money on the colouring book that we all get conned into buying- don't know anyone who's coloured in more than 3 of them (and even then it's all in the first week of buying it).

This is a very useful book, full of facts broken down into neat chunks. The diagrams are nice and clear, will be great for revision. An excellent anatomy book for students of any health profession not just medics
