Book Details

The content of the text is good and suitable for undergraduate level medicine and anatomy. There are few images and a lot of text on each page so it can be overwhelming for students, especially those who need more visualise stimulation and reinforcing of information. This is listed as supplementary because the content is a little more detailed than other texts but the lack of images is why it is not core or recommended for use.

This book is for those of us who appreciate quality vintage anatomical images combined with a concise text. There aren’t enough images included but this small collection of images is focused on important areas, relations or functions that really aid understanding and memory retention. The text includes surgical detail but is written in a way that guides your thought naturally with the occasional use of more conversational language. It’s a great help for students that are preparing for a viva as it deepens understanding and enhances the ability to talk through anatomical regions in a comprehensive way.

Last's anatomy is an excellent text for the study of regional anatomy, as might be required for the study of surgery and preparation for postgraduate surgical exams. Having this available for the MSc Course in Human Anatomy will allow anatomy students to reframe their anatomical knowledge from a systems perspective to a regional approach and Last's does this very well.
