ABSTRACT

Anatomy is the oldest formal discipline in medicine, and this book builds upon the exceptional contributions made by outstanding scholars. Among them, we want to pay special tribute to some of the most accurate and most frequently used atlases and dissector manuals for human gross anatomy: Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy (6th edition, 2014), Gray’s Atlas of Anatomy (2nd edition, 2014), Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy (13th edition, 2012), and Grant’s Dissector (15th edition, 2015). We are particularly grateful to the authors of these books, and their predecessors, for their remarkable and crucial contribution to the learning and teaching of human gross anatomy. The present book is a way for us to acknowledge our deep gratitude for the amazing work done by these authors and by the authors of similar atlases and textbooks.
