highly recommended

The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series is amazing!

By far, this is the best atlas series available and as a medical student, I would recommend the three atlases to anyone who studies in the field of anatomy. Trust me, this is THE book you keep for life!

Not much I can add, but...

This is a great book, and I recommend all three if you can afford them. Otherwise, just get Netter or Grant.

This book has one major flaw (caused me to miss an exam question): On page 503, there is an illustration of the medial malleolus and associated neurovascular structures. The illustrators got the order wrong that these structures pass behind the medial malleolus and deep to the tarsal tunnel. From anterior to posterior, they should be: Tibialis posterior, flexor Digitorum longus, posterior tibial Artery, tibial Nerve, and flexor Hallucis longus (Tom, Dick, AN' Harry). However, the artery and nerve are posterior to the flexor hallucis longus muscle in the illustration. Minutia, I know, but just FYI for you M1s.

Also, the fact that these atlases are in a three book series means that when you are covering the thorax, you have to use two books to cover everything on the test. It can be a little tedious, and Netter and Grant atlases have it all integrated into one book.

This book, however, has a lot of cool information in the writing, and together with the outstanding and NUMEROUS illustrations, make it perhaps the best choice for any student in the medical field.

Best Anatomy Atlas for Musculoskeletal!!

Thieme is awesome. I am a chiropractic student and my anatomy teacher recommended this atlas. It is beautifully illustrated and very clearly shows the layers of muscle. Bones are shown in different planes. Nerve paths, dermatomes, biomechanics, even bursae are depicted. A great reference!!

good simplified pictures but lacking a lot

I purchased this atlas for anatomy lab because it was recommended by my professor. Looking through the book, it has wonderful pictures and really simplified structures so you can actually see what you are looking at rather than a portion of it and the rest hidden behind other structures. However, it is not a very complete atlas. The most glaring example - there is nothing about the head and neck. I had to buy another atlas just to get through this past test. I personally recommend Netter's as a reference atlas because it has EVERYTHING in it. I know the pictures and millions of lines coming out can be overwhelming, however, if you are looking for a specific structure you are way more likely to find it in Netter's.

absolutely gorgeous

Honestly, I find studying A&P tedious and generally boring. Purchasing Thieme's was the best move I've made. The plates are so beautiful that I want to linger on each page for a long time. Every person whom I've shown this book to said they wished they had bought it instead of Netter's.

The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy is a revolution in the presentation of human anatomy. It combines topographical views of different body regions, in stunning detail and unprecedented clarity, with the more classical portrayals of isolated systems, in which the bony structure, vasculature, muscles, and nerves are assembled for the reader in a step-by-step logical sequence. Schematics highlight specific structures and depict their coordination in functional units. Throughout the book we have included hundreds of clinical correlations to provide an integrated presentation of structure, function, and malfunction that will serve the needs of students and practitioners alike.
