"… [this book] helps you truly appreciate how and why our bodies have taken the form we have. My favorite thing about this book are the diagrams. They are incredibly clear and the use of color on the grey sketches to demonstrate the neurovascular supply is incredibly pleasing … a wonderful book for anyone genuinely interested in appreciating anatomy. I for one will refer to this before my lectures, to add a little ‘spice’ to my attempts to engender an understanding approach to anatomy."
