Atlas of Human Anatomy F. Netter
From Library Journal
Now in its second edition, this is undoubtedly the best single-volume medical atlas available today, the only better resource being Netter’s classic eight-volume set, published in 13 physical volumes over 33 years starting in 1959 and originally called CIBA Collection of Medical Illustrations after the publisher. (The name was changed to Netter’s Collection of Medical Illustrations by the new publisher, Novartis.) Once again, Netter’s masterly artwork has been faithfully reproduced, though the first edition (LJ 12/89) has been updated to reflect current anatomical knowledge and to incorporate new cross-sectional images to assist in the recognition of current “scanned” images. Organized by anatomical regions, the illustrations are colorful, easily defined, and clearly labeled, and the book closes with a very easy-to-use 48-page index. Highly recommended for public and academic librariesAEric D. Albright, Duke Univ. Medical Ctr. Lib., Durham, NC
