Summary:

McMinn's Color Atlas of Human Anatomy is one of the most successful atlases of human anatomy ever published -- well over one million copies have been sold worldwide in more than 25 different languages. Incorporating an unrivalled collection of cadaveric, bone, radiologic and clinical images, McMinn's atlas maps out the structures of the human body and puts these structures into a clinical context. The fifth edition has been carefully revised to improve still further the photographic content and thereby make this outstanding resource even more useful. Fifty new dissection photographs of stunning clarity have been added to the book. Positive user feedback has prompted us to add more Clinical Notes -- there are now 300 examples of these to highlight the clinical correlates of the anatomic structures. The layout of every single page has been revised to ensure maximum accessibility. In addition, more orientational diagrams in the form of surface anatomy photographs -- and extra imaging and laparoscopy - have been added.
