5.0 out of 5 stars Best for studying for tests at home, not as a dissection atlas.
Verified PurchaseThis review is from the perspective of a first year medical student in Gross Anatomy. I own both Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science) and Grant's Atlas of Anatomy, and what I've found is that they really cannot be compared. They are both 5 stars if you use them properly.
Grant's Atlas shines when it is in the dissection room with you. The drawings are more realistic, and more often than not muscles are reflected out of view rather than being omitted completely (Netter). While this is indeed more realistic and allows you to see more muscle relationships, it slows down studying because of the more complicated mess you see before you. Therefore, it's best used in the lab when that complicated mess is EXACTLY what you are seeing. In all fairness, there are little schematic drawings that simplify important muscle relationships. It also comes with a CD with the images from the book allows you to turn off the labels and quiz yourself. There are also about 100 USMLE style anatomy questions.
Netter's atlas shines for at home study away from your cadaver. It is more high-yield than Grant's atlas and makes for easier and faster learning. Grant, because of its thoroughness and more realistic perspective, can be a little bit of a chore to get through when cramming for a test. Netter said himself that he tried to find the balance between simplification and realism, and I personally think he did an outstanding job. I can study any of his diagrams and quickly see the most important relationships between muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, and bones. Ultimately, I would learn more using Grant's Atlas, but Netter is best when you are pushed for time. One thing I didn't like at first was that, unlike Grant's Atlas, Netter's doesn't have any text or tables. Then I found out that they were all on [...] which a pretty nice website that in my opinion give Netter's Atlas more value.
So, in short, Grant's atlas and Netter's atlas are both excellent. Each can stand on its own, but they really do compliment each other a lot for being direct competitors; Grant's is the best while dissecting, and Netter's is best for studying for exams and the USMLE.
EDIT: Also keep in mind cadaver atlases (Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body (Color Atlas of Anatomy (Rohen)) and Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy) that could serve as a substitute for Grant's atlas, but not really for Netter's. I hear the Thieme Atlas of Anatomy, a three-part set, beats Netter's in "every" way, but I haven't used them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear pictures
Verified PurchaseI bought this book for one simple reason: it was recommended in the Ortho-bionomy course I am taking and indispensable during a workshop that required us to study the visceral organs.
As a relative newcomer to the world of human anatomy and an avid map-reader (!) I do not claim a comprehensive knowledge of alternate options. However, this volume suits my needs very well.
I have a few other anatomy books, among them Gray's and a few books of anatomical illustrations. I find Gray's useful for working with the Netter and getting a better understanding of functions. The other books I simply find confusing.
What I like about Netter is its unmistakeable clarity and thoroughness. Atlas is great descriptive. It tells you how to find stuff! The pictures are gorgeous and clear enough to make sense to a beginner, but sophisticated enough, I would think, to satisfy a more advanced perspective on the human body. So far I have been able to find whatever I need and it has been extremely helpful in my ongoing studies.
