Review
"Beautiful illustrations. Clinically orientated - lots of surface anatomy, lots of clinical cases, and well explained and annotated radiology cases as well! The excellent short chapter on imaging in the introduction is also very helpful and useful. This book is a really helpful resource for any medical student." "BMA Book Awards 2009 - judges comments"
"I particularly like the diagrams, which are clearly labelled, not cluttered, and helpfully coloured...this textbook is great. It is well-tailored to students, providing the anatomy information that we need to know. It gets a big 'thumbs up'" - Medical Student, University of Oxford (review of previous edition) ."..explains anatomy in a way that is easy to understand, but also puts the text in a clinical context along the way.The Interactive Surface Anatomy is very useful and well made - a great example of how Student Consult can provide teaching tools that simplifies complex subjects in a way no book can."" - Medical Student, University of Copenhagen(review of previous edition)"
"This second edition of the hugely popular Gray's Anatomy is an indisputable reference tool for the detailed study of human anatomy; suitable, due to its clinical orientation, for both students and all health professionals. The authors come from a strong and diverse range of teaching and clinical backgrounds and have collaborated to update and revise this new edition in order to meet the demands of the modern anatomy course more effectively. Their concern is to make the information accessible, easy to master and, above all, reliable - and to produce an up-to-date book on anatomy that is simple, easy to understand and enjoyable to read."

Format:Paperback
This is by far the best educational textbook I have ever worked with. Our clinical anatomist claims its only use is as a door stop, however in a matter of weeks (and some considerable effort) Grays Anatomy for students (2009)has provided a deep appreciation and understanding of the sectional anatomy we have covered. It covers every angle, the theory, the visual and the clinical. I find its level of explination perfect, not to simplified, not too deep.
When I am studying I have a medical dictionary at hand, I use this to translate the latin/greek into English, I find this helpfull in searing things to memory. It would be very helpfull if Grays did this, maybe in the header of the page, e.g. Brachial [Arm] or Cubital [Armpit].
Grey also has another weakness, I am privelaged enough to be partaking in Full Human Dissection at my medical school. The imagery in Greys is excellent for learning concepts and to gain an understanding, however (in general)it in no way relates to how it really looks in the body. All images (except x-ray's etc and the very few dissection picture)are just schematic.
It is essential to have a good Human Atlas of anatomy to work alongside Grays. McMinns is the IDEAL textbook for this.
Grays is an ESSENTIAL textbook for anyone learning human anatomy. It has its weaknesses, but these are usually on the outskirts of Grays mission objective, Grays focuses on enabling an understanding and theory longside a schematic visual appreciation. This it does better than any other book.
NOTE: there are various Grays anatomy, this is the one for students, this contains the level of understanding required, the bigger Greys anatomy are the bibles for Clinical anatomists. You will do yourself NO FAVOURS in getting this, even if you tell yourself you want to know more than the other students, or that you want to know everything. Get this version, i.e. FOR STUDENTS.
CONSULT ONLINE : I found this essentially useless, firstly it only lasts 12 months. Its free with the book, but I see it as no more than a gimmick. I guess if your without your Grays available to you (for some bizzare reason) and you want to see/read a page, then you can see a simplified version of the textbook. I really think its a Gimmick. When a LEGAL version of this is available for download (i.e. you could have Grays on your computer offline) then I would be interested. Its also all done via a website format, links going to chapters, then clicking through each page. It really hasnt had much thought. Also it is very slow and I found it to be VERY tempromental. I would NEVER rely on it.
Overall a VERY VERY VERY good textbook. Wish I could contribute to its editing and make it perfect by providing just a tiny little bit more information, for example basic terminology translations etc.
If you are studying Medicine or Human Anatomy, you NEED this book.

Format:Paperback
This review is for the Second Edition (2009) of Gray's Anatomy, some of the reviews on here are for the First Edition. I've outlined the significant changes below.
A major change in the second edition is the first chapter. A lot of the material has been shifted from various chapters in the previous edition into a neatly organised introduction for the book. The new section, 'Body Systems', as the name suggests covers the skeletal, skin and fascia, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic and nervous system. Other changes include well placed 'In the Clinic' boxes that highlight relevant clinical data. There are many other changes and a general improvement in some of the artwork.
As an added bonus, registration with Student Consult gives you an electronic version of the book with a useful search tool and extras such as Image Library (download images for your own use), interactive self-assessment questions and animations amongst others.
Overall, the diagrams are of a high order (as is to be expected from Gray's Anatomy) and well labeled. The 'In the clinic' boxes put the material into a relevant context which are refreshing to read after memorising large chunks of anatomical information! The entire book has been well indexed by segragating topics into different regions. This is a worthwhile investment for any medical student.

This is a massive tome with magnificent illustrations. Not very transportable but excellent for both study and reference for the student and practitioner. This is the Bible of medics and deservingly so. Excellent in every respect.

Grays anatomy.
The book came very quickly. The drawings and pictures in the book are not as good as 20 something years ago, but this is progress I suppose. I would buy from this seller again.
