Very nice text...

I'm just starting my Anatomy Class but I can already tell that this text will be of great benefit for my upcoming prosection.

The Missing Link

Highly recommended. This book is a perfect transition from knowing human anatomical strcutures' in the abstract (functions, innervations, etc.) to identifying (and truly "knowing") anatomy in a real cadaver or body. Using Netter's Clinical, I memorized the basics of human anatomy; using the Gosling Atlas & Text, I deepened my knowledge and learned to identify and properly interpret the real thing, which is, of course, the whole purpose of anatomy!

Everything in graphic photos!!

This book has extremely graphic, close-up and detailed photos of every part of the body. Excellent if you're writing a story about autopsies...or even if you're just curious. There are some clear illustrations, as well. The text is detailed, small, and extremely well organized to coordinate closely with the photos. This book is extremely well-designed, compact, and a great reference. Highly recommended.

Best value for your money

As a beginning student of Anatomy, and not aiming to be an MD, this is an excellent entry level text, that unlike other atlases has adequate descriptive text, has photographs with corresponding figures that are extremely extremely useful, etc. Best value for one's limited $, IMHO.

Anatomy atlas that helps instantly

As a medical student I had a chance to study from quite a few anatomy atlases and can therefore affirm this one is the best choice you have.All doubts and vagueness you might have about different structures positions and relations when learning textual theory, become clear when viewing truly spectacular images which are, unlike doted, numbered and line-crossed ones in many other publications, spotless and have beside standing complementary colour schematic drawing explaining the image.I find fonts, paper used, weight and the way the book "reacts" when leafing through quite likable.
