THROUGH SEVEN EDITIONS, the authors and illustrators have continued to build on this text’s hallmark qualities: its distinctive atlas-style format and its unsurpassed visual presentation of anatomy and anatomical concepts. Our approach for this text has been to provide a seamless learning system with closely integrated art and text. The illustrations do more than provide occasional support for the
narrative; they are partners with the text in conveying information and helping students understand structures and relationships in a way that distinguishes this human anatomy textbook from all others.
