Not the best:
This book is ok, but is by far not the best text available. This text was used by our medical school for gross anatomy and many times lacked the detailed information required by medical students. I broke down a couple of weeks into the course and bought a much more effective book. The Snell book lacks detailed diagrams and so-called clinical correlations. A large portion of diagnosing problems involving the musculoskeletal system is being able to invision the mechanism of injury. Snell does not have... more info
HolyBook of Anatomy:
I have Snell's Anatomy 6th and 2nd edition.It contains what any undergraduate and even post graduate need from anatomy book.Snell's lack illustrations, so I recommended buying with it a good anatomical atlas as Netter's.
Good, but not the best choice:
This is good anatomy text - but by no means the best that is out there. Snell's diagrams are overly simplistic and often unclear as to the relation of other nearby structures. The text is accurate and very straightforward but lacking in some of the clinical applications. This volume is more suited for an undergrad anatomy class and even then I would suggest a different and more detailed text. Try Keith Moore's Clinical Anatomy it is far superior and will serve you better than this. Out of the dozens of... more info
Excellent Text; Poor Diagrams:
This standard anatomy textbook for medical students is really a useful studying guide for mastering the structures and functions of the human body. The text is very clearly written with detailed descriptions. The book doesn't let you just memorize the names for every bit of the flesh, but also the 3D arrangement of any tissue and organ! But the diagrams are simply hand sketches which make the book less interesting.
