Purchase options and add-ons
The Atlas supplements the textbook with an abundant collection of anatomy photographs (194), radiology scans (53), and embryology summaries (21). The anatomy photographs, taken by Ralph Hutchings, the renowned biomedical photographer, extend the anatomy photographs that appear in the book. The radiology scans help students visualize deep anatomical structures and encourage them to become familiar with the types of images seen in a clinical setting. The embryology summaries depict the developmental origins of major tissues, organs, and body systems. This is the ME Component item that is automatically packaged with the student text.

I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. In addition to professional publications that include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles, I am the lead author of ten undergraduate textbooks, two Atlases, and five clinical manuals in the fields of anatomy and physiology or anatomy. I have also published a book for amateur naturalists and my most recent effort is a nonfiction work based on declassified WWII and post-war documents held in the archives of the US and other countries.
I am currently affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, after retiring from teaching at the Maui campus. I have a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire.
I have been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for over 24 years and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for undergraduate anatomy and physiology. I am a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2005–2007 and also belong to the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists. I have been a member of the Authors Guild since 1994 and a member of the Textbook Authors Association since 1990.

I have no doubt that when making the Hannibal tv series they either used this very book or one similar as a reference, stick a few peppers and onions in and you would swear you were watching stills from hannibal's kitchen. Worth the money for aspiring cannibals and medical students alike.
This book has great detailed pictures and does a good job of showing various structures from different sides. It has a lot of cadavers and shows different layers of dissection (superficial to deep). The book is interesting to look at on its own, but its real strength lies in being a supplemental study guide to my main A&P text (Martini's 9th edition). I don't have to flip between pages when I'm reading anymore; I can just have my atlas book opened up alongside my main text and identify structures as I read along. It's not necessary to have this text, but it's a good study aid. What really drove me to buy this book was its price. It was $6.99 and eligible for prime. That deal was way too good to pass up for me. It's the penultimate edition, but it has the same information at the latest edition. I know because I compared my atlas book with another classmate's book (the latest edition with the blue cover). Overall, this book is a nice investment for anyone who wants to make their studying easier and for anyone who just likes to look at cool pictures of cadavers.
