Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice

The 'ultimate truth' in anatomy. Gray's Anatomy is the peerless source of reference on all matters concerning human anatomy. The new 39th edition has been redesigned, reduced in size and rigorously edited to improve readability, remove duplication and thereby produce one of the most radical revisions in the book's long and distinguished history. For the first time, Gray's Anatomy has been organised by body region, and edited by a team of clinicians, and is indispensable to you if you are working in medicine, dentistry and professions allied to medicine. The most reliable and comprehensive human anatomy resource possible, complete with 'signposts' to the most current source of molecular and cytological information available elsewhere, on the web or in print.
This e-dition features both the print and continuously-updated online versions.

Unparalleled description of human structure serving as the ultimate resource on human anatomy

Spectacular artwork programme including almost 700 entirely new illustrations; permitting the reader to learn and memorise 3-D relationships of anatomical structures and apply this knowledge to their surgical, dental or physiotherapy practice

Editorial board comprising mainly clinicians, not basic scientists, ensures applicability to surgeons, radiologists, etc.

Regional organisation ensures all anatomical content relevant to say, an operation on the shoulder, is contained in one place and not scattered between body-system sections

Unnecessary repetition and "Victorian prose" removed.
