Surface Anatomy: Anatomical Basis of Clinical Examination

This is the second edition of a very successful book, with large sales to medical students, physiotherapy and radiology trainees and nurses. Living anatomy and surface anatomy rarely receive sufficient emphasis within courses or textbooks: "Surface Anatomy" fills this gap and has proved to be of excellent value. Illustrated throughout in full colour, it presents students with 200 colour photographs of male and female anatomy along with accompanying line drawings of deep structures, putting the "lecture" anatomy into context and correlating internal and surface anatomy in an attractive and unusual way. The book also links anatomy and clinical medicine, indicating common sites for injections, where to access blood vessels and where to make incisions. The chapters are regionally organised and the text has an emphasis throughout on the clinical relevance of the anatomical detail. "An invaluable way of putting 'Lecture Anatomy' into context." St Mary's Hospital Gazette "Beautiful photographs and a very clear text." Dr. J. Dagg, Glasgow "This book is pure delight. Why did nobody think of this before?" Dr. P. Wahlberg, Finland "One of the best, if not the best, book on surface anatomy." Dr. Hillowala, West Virginia, USA Features: * Covers a topic ignored by most textbooks but still vital for vivas and clinical examinations, knowledge of surface anatomy is essential in clinical practice but, without this book, can be very hard to learn. * Excellent layout of photographs with overlays -- the simplest possible way of indicating the positions of all major structures that can be seen, felt, moved or listened to. * Excellent value for money. * A wide range of potential markets. * Fully updated second edition of an extremely popular text.
