Short and succinct - can be read and revised from quickly

Clinical emphasis throughout - so it's clear why something needs to be understood - and it therefore 'sticks' better

First (shorter ) section reviews the systems - eminently suitable for new medical courses

The main part of the book takes a regional approach - the best way to understand anatomy - the classical approach

Self-assessment throughout - to help prepare for exams and to test knowledge

Over 200 clear black and white line drawings - simple enough for the student to reproduce themselves when studying

Some clinical photographs/scans - to make links to the eventual clinical situation

Written by an accomplished author in an appealing style - easy to read and remember

Part of a successful series - amongst the 'first wave' of new MM books (formerly Churchill's Master Medicine series) - so the book won't get lost and will get reinforcement from other books in series
