 - Atlas of Human AnatomyI couldn't have passed my anatomy test without this book. I like the way that each diagram peels away a part so you can see the underlying layers: it's a great tool in seeing and understanding where the muscles lie. The pictures are clearly readable and are of a decent size (inlcuding the text). Rating:  - PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE B/W EDITIONSFrom what I have been able to gather online from the publisher (Elsevier), the Professional Edition is the only one that is supposed to come with the CD, which is purported to contain "over 80 of the most important anatomy illustrations from the book to use in presentations and lectures." View the differences between the editions: Professional 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416036999 Soft Cover 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416033851 It seems to be $60 more (at least, depending on where you look) for just for the CD (and the Hardcover opposed to the Soft Cover). The Professional Edition is more like a Reference book for a library, but hey maybe you need that. The 4th Ed. Soft Cover still comes with the ability to log onto "www.netteranatomy.com" for "Ninety plates from the book as well as a powerful and varied bank of ancillary material, unique to this atlas, are available online" through that Netter Anatomy Website. Through I'm fairly certain that the Professional Edition also comes with that ability. Also in response to the earlier post, the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy 3.0 CD only comes with the 3rd Edition, not the newest 4th Edition. Here is the link just to that 3rd Edition CD: Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy 3.0, 3rd Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781929007141 Hope this helps. Rating: - A fantastic resourceFrank Netter, M.D. created approximately 20,000 paintings of the human body and provided countless medical students with an invaluable educational resource. He can be credited for teaching multiple generations of doctors worldwide. Although he is now deceased, his legacy continues to provide students with intricate knowledge that only a physician and gifted artist could have given. I am thrilled to have purchased what I consider an educational necessity for such a reasonable price. Rating: - Best AtlasAs a medical student, purchasing a Netters Atlas is essential. I borrowed one during anatomy, but bought my own after the class so that I could always have it for referencing. Rating: - Netters= the Anatomy BibleAs an Anatomy Masters student, I highly recommend Netters for anyone who is taking an advanced anatomy course especially graduate students and medical students. This book has wonderfully detailed pictures that aid in your studying, and the online Netters is riddled with study hints, image downloads and has really improved my study guide capabilities. This book may be a bit advanced for most undergraduate courses (there are cheaper ones out there with everything you need), but will definitely cover all the material you need to know.
