A very small print version of Gray's Anatomy. I have to say it's not a very useful textbook, too small to be of any use really. (

i picked this text up this week after reading parts of the reference copy in the library. it's *awesome.* i don't know why our school had us purchase student gray's instead of this...this book is better organized, well-written, & clinically relevant! i highly recommend it for anyone who wants a clear resource for clinical anatomy without having to read through fluff. also has some incredibly useful charts (esp. on the brachial plexus!!!!)

Of all the books on my shelf this one probably gets the most comment when it is noticed, usually implying what kinds of things I might be looking up in it.

The leg bone's connected to the hip bone, and so on. For many of us, anatomy can seem intimidating and unrewarding, but the right teacher can clear such feelings away in a heartbeat. Our fascination with our bodies is a powerful force, and once we start looking, we find that beauty is much more than skin-deep.

It so happens that the right teacher can take the form of a book. Gray's Anatomy is one of those few titles that practically everybody has heard of, and with good reason--it is a scientific and artistic triumph. Not just a dry index of parts and names, Gray's lets the natural beauty and grace of the body's interconnected systems and structures shine forth from the page. Using sumptuous illustrations and clear, matter-of-fact descriptions, Dr. Gray unleashed a classic on the world more than 100 years ago. Its clarity and usefulness keep it in print today. Whether you want to understand yourself or others, knowledge of our physical parts and how they fit together is essential. Gray's Anatomy provides that information in a simple, timeless format that cleanly dissects a body of knowledge grown over centuries. This book will not only fill the needs of people in the medical profession, but will please artists and naturalists as well. --Rob Lightner
