Atlas of Human Anatomy E-Book: Digital eBook (Netter Basic Science) 7th Edition, Kindle Edition

The book is amazing, and I use it daily while in PT school, but I’ve only had it for a couple months and it is totally falling apart. I need this book now and for many years to come and it will not last.

This book is a workhorse for all health professional students that take Anatomy. My daughter received this book on Saturday and it came in excellent condition. It is the 7th edition published in 2018. She used it Sunday and now Monday afternoon the pages are falling out!!! We have read other reviews from others that experienced the same problem. She doesn't have time to return the book and wait for a replacement (which in all likelihood will also have pages falling out eventually). She is choosing to take all of the pages out, use a 3 hole punch and put the book into a notebook. At least she won't accidently lose any pages or get them out of order. For the price they charge for this book, I would expect the binding to hold for more than a weekend!2/4/2019 Gave an extra star since company reached out and reimbursed me a small amount of money back.

The images drawn by Dr. Netter are unrivaled in clarity and precision; however, I am extremely disappointed in the physical quality of the book. It was delivered with a large crease in the upper right corner which bent through the first few hundred pages. The cover of the book is weak and thin (and already peeling from the damaged corner). Previous editions have had a much more robust cover. At this price point, I expect more from El Sevier.+ 1 - Dr. Netter- 5 - El Sevier

Netter's is the anatomy gold standard, no doubt. But the binding of this book is hot garbage. My copy has been living on my bookshelf and desk - no rough handling in the lab, no being knocked around in my backpack - and the pages are falling out. They pop right out of the spine with normal use. I just got it in December and it's already getting unusable. I'm out of the return window, which is a huge bummer, but this book should last longer than three months. The older copies left to us by the graduating MS4s don't do this, so I assume this is an issue w the recent binding.

The book it was not well built... the face on the book and the pages are not in a good condition.. they're falling apart... the book is brand new supposedly...

The book is in great condition and is essently like new. HOWEVER. I’ve noticed that some of the pages have significant printing errors that lessen the quality of some of the photos. Since this is an anatomy textbook, accuracy in the photos is extremely important. I won’t return because I need the book for my current classes, but I will have to supplement for the pages where there are errors.

While this book is stunning in its detail and vivid illustrations, the quality of the book itself is disappointing. For this price, I expected better than magazine quality pages. It's so easy to damage this book.

My book came ruined and I bought a new one not used one. I don’t know if it was because it came with other packages, but it is ripped and crinkled. I am just glad it did not ruin all the pages and still useable.

MS1 student (graduate-entry). The following is kind of like a systematic review of different anatomy atlases.I have been comparing different anatomy atlas before coming to the decision of buying a new copy of Netter's. Other candidates include Thieme's (Gilroy, 3e), Grant's (14e) and Rohen's (8e, renamed as 'Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas'). Always have a read of PDFs or in bookshops before buying any of these.Thieme's:Pros: Contains more radiographs and some annotated texts for clinical correlations. Superb at depicting the musculoskeletal system. Good paper/binding quality. The WinkingSkull website is superb for review thanks to its label on/off function. The smartphone app 'Prometheus', though in German, compliments well with the book.Cons: The price is the highest amongst the four.Grant's:Pros: Cheapest amongst the four, with some texts for clinical correlations as well. An Amazon US customer (a retired plastic surgeon I remember) said Grant's is the only atlas that showed fabella, a small bone found in <30% individuals (which I checked is true, and it is labelled in one of the knee radiographs). Cross-referenced in Grant's dissector. Not so heavy to carry compared with Netter's and Thieme's.Cons: The clarity of images falls behind Netter's and Thieme's. Not enough views for some of the structures.Rohen's:Pros: Real cadaver images - superb for 'real-world' dissections.Cons: Expensive (I would recommend keeping a PDF/eBook though). Lack of clarity (due to the nature of cadavers).Coming back to Netter's:The new edition features new radiographs and clinical correlation tables. Other than these, the (vast) majority of the content remains the same as the 6th edition. NB the latest version of Grant's Dissector is still cross-referencing the old (6e) Netter's. I haven't tried the StudentConsult access yet, but I suppose it will be roughly similar to what we get from Thieme's (except that dissection videos come only with Netter's).My copy does not have the issue of poor binding as for other Amazon US customers.I would recommend the following combination of anatomy books:Text: Gray's Anatomy for Students or Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy (COA). NB an earlier edition is fine, but try to avoid Essential Clinical Anatomy (ECA) as the blue boxes (clinical correlations) are heavily edited. COA does have excessive details, but its blue boxes are indispensable.Atlas: Netter's (for lectures/self-study/review) and/or Thieme's (in later years perhaps).Dissection preparation (can be done electronically): Grant's Dissector + Rohen's Atlas.Review: Clinical Anatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (4e, our school's required text) and/or BRS Gross Anatomy (now at 9e).

Gift to a medical student. Love this, Netter is great, used them myself when it was Ciba collection of anatomic drawing . It allows you to build mental roadmap of anatomy with lots of colour, then you transpose this map on the real life stuff (preserved/live/imaging). Pleasure to use. Only thing coming close is primal (digital).You will need a preserved book too for dissection tests.

The book was that what I expected it to be. This is the original and not a fake, as you can check with the code which comes with this book.I loved the ability to download the digital version of this book so I can "carry" it anywhere when I need to study. The pictures are clear and easy to understand. The X-ray and MRI-images are a nice addition, so you can learn -"How those parts look in real life?"What I didn't like was the soft quality of the book cover. I know it is not a hardback, but still, I would want it to be more durable.

Amazing! A must have

A really beautiful book you can spend ages persusing as a complete amateur, or to look up what doctors mean when they refer to obscure body parts. But made for anatomy students too.
