Reviews
A really nice atlas that beautifully pairs cadaveric images with annotated ghosted images which makes the identification of structures simple, without any parts of the specimen being obscured by annotations. The range of perspectives of the specimens (many levels of dissection) greatly aids student learning and are really useful for complimenting and furthering students' understanding of dissection and the intricate organisation of the human body.
