Summary: introductory level
Comment: I gave five star not because i liked it but i purchased wrong book.Very simple anatomy pictures. This is a good anatomy book at the basics, pictures are very simplified, information is weak, good for high school level anatomy courses.

Rating: 5
Summary: Lucid Illustrations
Comment: I purchased a copy of THE HUMAN BODY ATLAS because of the human behavior courses we teach within our social work curriculum. Students are required to have a fundamental knowledge of biological systems. Such knowledge is not the top priority of many students and oftentimes students have low motivation. However, I suspect that when students are required to examine/review THE HUMAN BODY ATLAS as part of their closed reserve reading assignments, they will become more enthusiastic about understanding biological systems.

The illustrations are quite impressive. Two points in particular are worth noting. First, all the illustrations are artful and large. Even the illustrations that extend over two pages have a high degree of clarity. Technologically this is a complex task which would require the editor, publisher, and illustrators (31) to closely coordinate their efforts. I suspect that they had to redo their work many times prior to getting the illustration to look just right. Second, I have seen many such illustrative books on the human body. THE HUMAN BODY ATLAS stands out because of its illustrations of the aging process. Thus, besides being a great asset for a human behavior course, it is also worthy of being a closed reserve item for a gerontology course.

I highly recommend this book for undergraduate academic libraries.
