✦ Synopsis

Students will be delighted with this text which the authors characterize as an overview of important aspects of anatomy described in the parent, Clinically Oriented Anatomy. The authors have succeeded admirably in this endeavor. The book is smaller and much lighter than the parent version, and shorter by more than 400 pages. Material is presented in the same order as the larger text.

A marked reduction in unnecessary detail devoted to bones, the omission of many full page figures from Grant's Atlas, and the judicious use of tables to summarize the course and distribution of blood vessels and the attachments of muscles, all contribute to the smaller size of this text. In many aspects, this text is much more user friendly than Clinically Oriented Anatomy, and essential information is presented clearly
