What is an e-book?An e-book is an electronic edition of a printed book that is available as a file. The content does not differ from the printed edition of the book. Thieme offers electronic books in PDF and EPUB formats. For both formats, you need software to display the documents on your reading device. This software is not part of the e-book download.

What is the PDF format?

Adobe PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a standard format in MAC/PC area. Free programs for reading a PDF are available for all common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and for almost all e-book readers such as e-book readers, tablets or smartphones.

What is the EPUB format?

EPUB (electronic publication) is a standard format for e-books that enables dynamic adaptation of the text to the size of the display device. It is particularly well suited for displaying e-books on tablet PCs, smartphones, and e-book readers.

EPUBs can also be easily displayed on MACs/PCs via the free ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) software, for example.

Can I exchange/return an e-book?

E-books are products that are not suitable for return due to their nature. Just like downloads of other electronic files (movies, music or software), e-books are excluded from the right of withdrawal. A return or exchange is therefore not possible.

This visually stunning set of atlases is an essential companion for medical students or residents interested in an in-depth study of anatomy and neuroanatomy for laboratory dissection and clinical reference. A must-have for allied health students, instructors, and practicing physical and massage therapists, it also serves as a wonderful anatomic reference for professional artists and illustrators.

The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy is written by the three German anatomy professors Schnke, Schulte and Schumacher (original German title: Prometheus Lernatlas der Anatomie). To be precise, the atlas consists of three volumes that combined have more than 1300 pages showing entirely the human anatomy, including embryology and gross anatomy.

The books try to guide the reader through each theme layer-by-layer, e.g. starting with surface anatomy, the muscles and bones and covering the neurovascular and lymphatic systems at the end. The large illustrations drawn by computer are undeniably vivid and colourful making it very enjoyable to work with this book. You will find close-up pictures, different perspectives or schematic drawings positioned appropriately to enhance further understanding.

The strength of THIEME Atlas of Anatomy constitutes its' greatest weakness. By attempting to offer an atlas and a textbook in one place, it does not replace either one completely. This will be clear when trying to use the books during an anatomy beginners level course, where one will discover that there are too few complete images showing all the structures at once. Most of them seem to focus on one specific topic instead.

Also, the texts do not go into sufficient detail nor do they mark key words, or important phrases, which is why one might find a complementary textbook necessary for detailed memorization. Lastly, the division into three volumes has the indisputable disadvantage of sometimes one having to use two books at the same time (e.g. when studying the pelvic area or neck and head), which is even more time-consuming.

Looking for an atlas that navigates the complexity of anatomy with clear, complete visuals and embraces diversity, ensuring an inclusive learning experience? Delve into our printed atlas at Kenhub and experience anatomy like never before!

The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy pursuits to build a bridge between an atlas and a textbook. It is no coincidence that this is one of the most popular anatomy books among medical students. The illustrations are truly remarkable and make it very easy to memorise the structures of the human body. The didactic concept is well received by readers who prefer to learn in small learning units. One has to be aware though that the authors extracted the most important information specifically for medical students, which is why it is not that extensive when compared to other anatomy books.

Even though there is no doubt that using the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy to study will be sufficient to pass gross anatomy exams, one might feel compelled to use a complementary textbook or an atlas to answer and clarify further questions or topics. And if you are not planning to or cannot afford spending around $180 for anatomy books, a good alternative to this is Kenhub's free atlas. With Kenhub's colourful and detailed illustrations, you can go through all the important structures and get ready for your next anatomy test the easy way.
