Product Description
Review
"... so we welcome a new edition of this useful reference book. It will remain popular with both students and with surgical postgraduates"
Journal of Anatomy – 2000
"This is a concise well–written short text of anatomy that is easy to follow..."
Journal of the Royal College of Surgeons – Oct 2000
"As a quick revision reference for both undergraduates and postgraduates ... I would still recommend it."
BJS – 00
"Any attempt to summarize the human anatomy in 200 pages of little more than A5 size is an achievement in itself. That it should be clearly written and well–illustrated indeed deserves congratulation." BJS/2000
"This is quite different from other anatomy textbooks. It is based on schematic diagrams with minimal text and is ideal as a revision aid or for quick reference." Aslib book guide/August 2000
"Numerous anatomy textbooks have been written, and personal preference plays a big part in the choice of a textbook. However, there is one book that most agree is essential for learning anatomy, and that is Instant Anatomy. It is clear, concise, and contains all the relevant information for the medical course. Rather than having to crawl through textbooks when all you wanted to know was the exact origin of pectoralis major or the branches of the radial artery, using Instant Anatomy gives instant access to all this information and more"
– GKT Gazette
"Instant Anatomy is, without doubt, the finest book ever written: I would swap my sister for it...Seriously though, this is a very cheeky little book. It does claim to be unique, and I think it is fair to say that, as a quick revision aid, it is unrivalled. The pictures are simple and ingenious ; so much so that one wonder′s why nobody has written a book like this before."

Format:Paperback
I would highly recommend this book to anyone starting a medical degree and other anatomy related courses.
Instant Anatomy charts the course and distribution of every artery, vein, set of lymphatics, and nerve (cranial, peripheral and autonomic). This is done in a very simple style with a diagram on one side and any text on the side opposite. Quite frankly a goldfish could read this book and get an anatomy degree.
Probably the most impressive section is that on the muscles. This is great for revision with each muscle listed alongside it's origin, insertion, action and innervation.
Also included is information on joints, ossification times, foramina (in full detail), other spaces and positions of structures according to vertebral levels.
You will need a more pictorial anatomy text to accompany this to get the full picture. But I cannot stress enough that this a perfect book if you are learning anatomy.

I love this book!! the second edition got me through anatomy as a 1st year medical student and now 8 years later I am still using the book for parts 1+2 MRCS and I am sure will continue to use it throughout my career. the second edition got handed to friends and I never saw it again!! so I had to get the third edition which has new invaluable chapters on specialised spaces, surface anatomy and vertebral levels. Bob is a truly inspirational teacher and I am constantly using his mneumonics to this day

I'm a first year medical student and this book has helped me no end in my revision. It's packed with knowledge, but the colourful diagrammatic way in which it is presented makes it easy to digest and remember. I personally found the cranial nerve section the most useful, but that's probably just because I found that hardest to begin with. It's a gem.
