From the most pedagogically sound organization to the exceptional art, to the complete integration of the text with embryology, McKinley has formed a teaching system that will both motivate and enable students to understand and appreciate the wonders of human anatomy. This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other anatomy texts with an unrivalled, brilliantly rendered art program and a student-friendly, accessible writing style that has been acclaimed by reviewers.
I've read the version of 2011( i called it the "talk to the hand" anatomy book,because of the cover photo,you'll understand when you see it). If your's school's program is made of 3 sections;like mine;muscles and bones one section,neuroanatomy the other,and splancnoanatomy the last then this book is "gold standard" for your study!
Being a nursing student, this book is my life at the moment since I need to get a good grade in this class to continue in my studies. Right now this is all I am reading. HUGE book with lots of information.
I loved this book. I had such a fun time taking both my anatomy and physiology classes. I should have taken them when I was younger and I am sure I would have pursued my childhood dream of being a doctor rather than following after the 6-legged creatures.
I just put this one for fun on here. I had to take Anatomy this summer. We covered this whole book in 6 weeks. Lets just say... that is a lot to memorize.
