More than 650 superior anatomical drawings and paintings distinguish this single-volume medical atlas, perfect for home reference users, anatomy students, and health professionals alike. Based on the fifth edition of the classic, award-winning, two-volume Wolf-Heidegger Atlas of Human Anatomy, this invaluable concise edition features:

• Topographical, schematic, and sectional illustrations that help readers establish a thorough knowledge of macroscopic anatomy
• Nomenclature that conforms to the International Anatomical Terminology (Terminologia Anatomica), adopted in 1998 by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists
• Clear and extensive labeling of anatomical structures
• Instructive, consistent use of color in plates throughout
• Organization by anatomical region, the most common method of studying the human body in anatomy and biology courses
• A comprehensive 20-page subject index

A valuable supplement to anatomy texts and a practical reference for general readers and health professionals, The Color Atlas of Human Anatomy portrays an accurate and lifelike view of human organ systems in more than 650 detailed illustrations. About the Editors: Among the most well-respected medical doctors in Europe, Dr. Köpf-Maier studied medicine in Würzburg and Berlin and was conferred a Doctorate of Medicine in 1978. Formerly Professor of Anatomy at the University of Ulm, she is currently Professor of Anatomy at the Freie Universität Berlin. Dr. Köpf-Maier’s emphasis on the study of macroscopic anatomy for medical students made her the ideal editor to lead the team of experts assembled to create the current edition of the two-volume Wolf-Heidegger’s Atlas of Human Anatomy, on which this single-volume edition is based. Dr. John C. Weber, consulting editor for The Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, taught anatomy and cell biology at Cornell University Medical College from 1966 until his retirement in 2000. He received his DDS from Columbia University in 1965 and his diploma from Columbia’s School of International Affairs the following year. Dr. Weber has served as Acting Chairman of the Anatomy Department and Associate Dean at Cornell University Medical College, Associate Director of The New York Hospital, and was a visiting scholar at Cambridge University in England as well as visiting professor of Anatomy at Shanghai Medical University. Nomenclature for the atlas was prepared according to the Terminolgia Anatomica in consultation with Dr. Arthur W. English. Dr. English is Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Emory University in Atlanta, where his research focuses on the interaction of the nervous system with the musculoskeletal system.
