This is a clearly written and well-illustrated text which continues to enjoy success in undergraduate anatomy classes among many colleges and universities across the country. The text has a very effective design which you can learn more about by reading the text's preface. In fact, you are strongly encouraged to do so. In terms of course design, your text will be the primary source of anatomical information you will need to work with in the course. Lectures will essentially revolve around the text.
