Dissector for Netter's "Atlas of Human Anatomy" Volume I.

It is fitting that Sharon Oberg should write a dissection guide to accompany Netter's ATLAS OF HUMAN ANATOMY because she worked closely with Dr. Netter on a day-by-day basis to complete the ATLAS. At that time, she was known as Dr. Sharon Colacino. The joint effort resulted in the most complete collection of Frank Netter's renowned medical-anatomical illustrations under one cover. DISSECTIONS, Volume I of the DISSECTOR, is comprehensive and well illustrated. DISCUSSIONS, Volume II, conceptualizes the observations of each dissection and is designed as preparatory reading for each dissection. One of the major strengths in the organization of these two volumes is that each dissection stands on its own merits. Any gross anatomy course, even one that is not sequenced the same way, can be suitably accommodated to this two-volume set. However, the sequence in the DISSECTOR is as logical as any I have seen in a human anatomical dissection guide. The two volumes plus Netter's ATLAS OF HUMAN ANATOMY could form the basis for an entire gross anatomy experience. Our course in human anatomy at the University of Wisconsin adopted Netter's ATLAS OF HUMAN ANATOMY several years ago, and both the staff and students are delighted with it. The DISSECTOR will enhance the use of this monumental piece of work and, together with the ATLAS, will provide the basis for a well-organized, exciting experience in the anatomy laboratory.
