Core Anatomy for Students: Vol. 3: The Head & Neck: v. 3

As a medical student going into second year, there is no better series than 'core anatomy'. It manages to cover everything you need to know, in a super - condensed manner, making it useful as well as saving time (something we students lack).The head and neck covers all the major structures in this region, as well as anatomical variants, some surgical techniques to be used in this area, and basic embryology and development of this area.I would recommend this book highly, and, having purchased it for much less than the retail price - it's a bargain!

Good for cramming or if its recommended for your course (Medicine at UCL - Christopher Dean teaches there). Illustrations are black and white and have little detail. Often there is no illustration of structures mentioned in the text. This means a separate atlas is required to study. Many structures are not labelled.

A book that is brilliant for revision, and does exactly what it says it does inside: it provides a framework for revision. It would be very hard to learn from this for the first time without having come across the anatomy before, but this book condenses all of the necessary information into a few pages per chapter, without missing out anything necessary, in a narrative style that makes it a lot easier to memorise everything, rather than laying out everything in lists and tables.For this reason, although it is a brilliant book to base revision around, it would not be great as a book to "dip into" for quick fact retrieval, such as Instant Anatomy. It includes clinical relevance, and simple diagrams that are easily reproducible in an essay. Large anatomy textbooks such as Gray's and Netter's, although full of diagrams and good for first time learning, are too large for efficient revision, whereas books such as Instant Anatomy are too blunt and listed for re-learning; this book offers a middle ground, with just over 100 (small) pages with diagrams written in a style that explains concept rather than detail, and will often repeat the most important points across a chapter to reinforce them.Use this book as a "walkthrough" to revision with other books to refer to when coming across difficult concepts, not the other way around. I also have the other 2 books in the series, and this whole review applies exactly the same to them.

Arrived in good condition. Core text for my uni so I will not comment about content - it's Dean and P.

I love these series. Instead of all pictures, these series really explain the basic anatomy you need to know and they really make sense

Excellent product

Good

didn't like the plastic protection wrapper around it and i can't take it off but looks great thanks!
