Author Description

Monkhouse's CLINICAL ANATOMY is a short, highly readable, and well-illustrated book on anatomy, approached from the perspective of relating what medical students need to know about anatomy to the clinical work they will eventually be doing. The text includes a variety of self-assessment exercises to reinforce messages, test understanding, and help students prepare for exams. 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
