Atlas of Human Anatomy, Clinical Edition
Knowledge of anatomy provides clinicians with the language essential for accurage analysis and description of the body in health and disease. That detailed knowledge of anatomy is required for the practice of medicine should seem axiomatic. Still, it is unrealistic to expect anyone to memorize every detail of human anatomy. Every clinician must have a readily available tool to provide a just-in-time filler for their knowledge gaps. The Clinical Edition of Tillmann's Atlas of Human Anatomy by Walid I. Ebermani is ideally suited for this role. Its superb organization makes anatomic detail readily accessible. Its use of life-like drawings, schematics and even radiographs makes it relevant and practical while uncompromising in detail. This reference should be at hand during clinical encounters and conferences to ensure that our anatomic descriptions and analyses are always accurate. --William G. Mackey, MD
