I started reading this because I wanted to understand a bit more about human anatomy for my Jiu Jitsu。 I mean, how else can you figure out how best to bend people and make them tap if you don’t know how bodies work? It didn’t necessarily quite work that way。 But it was still a supremely interesting read。The language in this is hard going。 Which is kind of expected, because it is a textbook。 And it is most definitely of the sort that I will have to read again and again to even get a drop of the k I started reading this because I wanted to understand a bit more about human anatomy for my Jiu Jitsu。 I mean, how else can you figure out how best to bend people and make them tap if you don’t know how bodies work?

With a heavy heart, I'm going to have to put this one down。 Originally, I decided to embark on reading Gray's Anatomy in order to give myself a little bit of leeway for when I decide on whether or not I want to go to forensics, mortuary school or medical school by reading about the anatomy of the human body to get an idea of where everything is and to clear up confusion I may have with body parts in the future。 Unfortunately, my attention lies elsewhere at this moment。 I'll keep this gorgeous ed With a heavy heart, I'm going to have to put this one down。 Originally, I decided to embark on reading Gray's Anatomy in order to give myself a little bit of leeway for when I decide on whether or not I want to go to forensics, mortuary school or medical school by reading about the anatomy of the human body to get an idea of where everything is and to clear up confusion I may have with body parts in the future。 Unfortunately, my attention lies elsewhere at this moment。 I'll keep this gorgeous edition's bookmark in place for when I want to return in the future or for when I need this book for rescources。 Overall, from what I've read- it's a heavy, heavy text。 By heavy, I mean HEAVY。 There's a lot of information to devour as you go, and the sketches are simply beautiful and pair so well with the Barnes and Nobles edition of this book with it's gorgeous exterior designs on display。 Until next time。 。。。more

Well, now I know the origin of Grey’s Anatomy。 I wonder how many folks have read this don’t have a biology degree。 To one of those that do not, this was pretty dang dry。 BUT the thoroughness and attention to detail can’t be overlooked。 I’ll definitely come back to this from time to time to further dive into a certain specialty。

My review is of the Barnes and Noble leatherbound edition which is, I believe, a facsimile of the tenth edition, therefore not the current edition used in the medical field。This seminal classic should be on everybody's bookcase。 Not just because of the wealth of information inside of it or even because of the stellar drawings, but because this Barnes and Noble edition is stunning。 B&N often do a wonderful job with their leatherbound classics series but this excels even their usual high standard。 My review is of the Barnes and Noble leatherbound edition which is, I believe, a facsimile of the tenth edition, therefore not the current edition used in the medical field。This seminal classic should be on everybody's bookcase。 Not just because of the wealth of information inside of it or even because of the stellar drawings, but because this Barnes and Noble edition is stunning。 B&N often do a wonderful job with their leatherbound classics series but this excels even their usual high standard。 The spine alone is exceptionally impressive and the front cover even has an embossed heart。 I wasn't expecting for there to be silver gilding, so that was a pleasant surprise, too。 A good book is great, but a good book presented beautifully is even better。 I am not a doctor, surgeon or anything of the sort, but merely somebody who is fascinated by medical history and medical illustrations。 There is nothing better out there than the OG, Gray's Anatomy。 P。S: this has the most formidable table of contents I have ever seen in a book。 P。P。S: I've even learned more about biology through this book! 。。。more

Human bodies vary more than I had imagined。Page 1444: Psoras Minor is absent in about 40% of subjects。 This was very meaningful tome, not because of that specific muscle, but because it lets me know that not all human bodies have the same structure。 (39th edition)A friend's knee muscles, someone else has an extra vertebrae, I seem to be missing a foot muscle。I read the 39th edition。 Human bodies vary more than I had imagined。Page 1444: Psoras Minor is absent in about 40% of subjects。 This was very meaningful tome, not because of that specific muscle, but because it lets me know that not all human bodies have the same structure。 (39th edition)A friend's knee muscles, someone else has an extra vertebrae, I seem to be missing a foot muscle。I read the 39th edition。 。。。more

A very informative book for medical students used it as a medical assistant and throughout premed school。 Plan on using it as I continue my education as well。

This book is so useful for whom are studying science or any thing that is relevant to human body。 It's descriptions are so theoretical and scientific furthermore,the pictures in this book are so exhaustive。 On the whole it is a good guide and reference for studying anatomy。 This book is so useful for whom are studying science or any thing that is relevant to human body。 It's descriptions are so theoretical and scientific furthermore,the pictures in this book are so exhaustive。 On the whole it is a good guide and reference for studying anatomy。 。。。more

I am probably the only person who read this book as a passing interest in the Medical Field。 Love it and referenced it often。

Why does everything like food taste good and bad in the mouth?With this book, I was able to discuss why the mouth can identify foods you have never had before!Simply, It's the organization of taste on your tongue; like the taste buds。。。!Your tongue is sensitive to taste。 The back of the tongue has the bitter food taste, The side of the tongue; right and left has the sour food taste, lastly, the front or the tip of the tongue has the sweet and salty food taste。And this is also a coloring book。 Why does everything like food taste good and bad in the mouth?With this book, I was able to discuss why the mouth can identify foods you have never had before!Simply, It's the organization of taste on your tongue; like the taste buds。。。!Your tongue is sensitive to taste。 The back of the tongue has the bitter food taste, The side of the tongue; right and left has the sour food taste, lastly, the front or the tip of the tongue has the sweet and salty food taste。And this is also a coloring book。 。。。more

Truthfully, I initially got this when I was in high school to reference for artistic purposes, but as I grew more interested in nursing and now I'm taking classes like human physiology and anatomy, i use this as reference quite a bit more。 It's a great book to have。 Truthfully, I initially got this when I was in high school to reference for artistic purposes, but as I grew more interested in nursing and now I'm taking classes like human physiology and anatomy, i use this as reference quite a bit more。 It's a great book to have。 。。。more

The Unabridged Running Press Edition of the American Classic Gray’s Anatomy is a wonderful and fascinating atlas of the workings of the human body。 After reading this book I have a greater understanding and better appreciation of the complexity of the human body and how all of its little systems blend together to help our body function。 Another thing that I really enjoyed about this book is that it assumes that you no nothing。 For a doctor or soon to be doctor the level of the book may be too ba The Unabridged Running Press Edition of the American Classic Gray’s Anatomy is a wonderful and fascinating atlas of the workings of the human body。 After reading this book I have a greater understanding and better appreciation of the complexity of the human body and how all of its little systems blend together to help our body function。 Another thing that I really enjoyed about this book is that it assumes that you no nothing。 For a doctor or soon to be doctor the level of the book may be too basic, but for a high school student who has not yet studied medicine, the book was perfect。 All in all this book is amazing, but very involved。 It contains over 827 illustrations of cells and body parts so if you have the time, a look is certainly worthwhile。 。。。more

I just want to give this book a big hug to absorb all of the knowledge in it。 And the illustrations are flawless。

Yes I've read the whole thing from cover to cover and consulted it many times。 And the only thing I can say is that it's a masterpiece。 If you are in med school and can afford it get it。 If not, well start camping at the library so you can read it。 The physiology correlations are great, awesome embryology sections, and of course the anatomy! I love this book, we've spent many sleepless nights together in bed。。。oh sorry I'm getting off track。 Anyway, I definitely recommend it!

This is, hands down, the greatest text book on the human body that has ever been written。 It is the gold standard to the degree that even people who have never studied medicine know of it。
