Reviews / Votes
This book is clearly organized according to the anatomic system; it has abundant clinical notes, helpful color-coding and consistent formatting throughout. If you are a student you will be impatient to get Volume 2, 'Internal Organs', and Volume 3, 'Nervous System and Sensory Organs', for your book collection.--European NeurologyMore details
