In terms of embracing and jumping on the multi-media bandwagon, this atlas has scored quite a few brownie points. For hardcore enthusiasts, nothing beats the tactile feedback of laminated pages and the smell of a freshly printed book. Therefore, Elsevier/Churchill Livingstone can provide them with paperback or hardback versions at a price of approximately $125 USD for all three volumes.
However, the 21st-century student places heavy emphasis on portability and studying on varying electronic devices while doing various activities, like walking in the park, commuting, and many more. As a result, this atlas can also be acquired as an eBook, ready to suit the needs of time management champions, or perhaps to help you become one.
Avoid the hassle of lugging around multiple volumes! Unlike other atlases, Kenhub's concise yet comprehensive printed atlas condenses essential information into a single user-friendly guide. Say goodbye to juggling volumes and hello to a streamlined learning experience!
Therefore, is this atlas good enough to occupy a spot in your library? It depends on your aims and your study methods. It is definitely not a run of the mill resource, scoring some brownie points with the explanations, chapter introductions, and tables. However, it also has some drawbacks such as an exaggerated length, price, scarce resources, and above all, a heavy focus on Latin terms while being aimed at an English market.
We at Kenhub understand that learning anatomy can be as dry as a bone. Although we cannot dispel all your difficulties (it is anatomy after all), our anatomy geeks can certainly simplify this subject and who knows, maybe even inject some joy into it! If you are drowning in a sea of anatomical information, you can take a look at the learning strategy section and pick up some tricks of the trade that can help you stay afloat. Also, remember that variety is the spice of life (and the sanity when learning anatomy). How can you incorporate it in your studies? By changing your learning methods every once in a while - according to your preferences, of course!
Once you get tired of reading an article about a certain topic and your gluteus maximus is numb, you can play the corresponding topic video and change your environment. For example, you can sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee while simultaneously learning. Does your brain start to feel foggy and groggy after a couple of hours doing that? Pick up your phone, go to a nearby park and start walking around while doing a quiz that tests your newly acquired knowledge. You can custom build it according to your desires and there is a wide variety, from MCQs to fill-in-the blanks. We also have an atlas waiting at your disposal, so what are you debating about? Go ahead, register for free and see for yourself!
He studied medicine in Berlin, where he subsequently worked as a second assistant at the institute of anatomy. From 1895 he served as prosector at the institute for comparative anatomy, embryology and histology at Wrzburg. In 1903 he became an associate professor and in 1912 a full professor of topographical anatomy. In 1916 he relocated to the University of Knigsberg as director of the anatomical institute, afterwards performing similar duties at the University of Bonn (from 1919).[1]
He is remembered today for the Sobotta atlas of human anatomy, a masterpiece of macroscopic anatomy acclaimed for its high quality and detail. First issued in 1904 with the title Atlas der deskriptiven Anatomie des Menschen ("Atlas of descriptive human anatomy"), it has been published in more than 300 editions in 19 languages (15 editions in English). Sobotta was also the author of Atlas und Grundriss der Histologie und mikroskopischen Anatomie des Menschen (1902), later translated into English and published as Textbook and atlas of human histology and microscopic anatomy.[2]

Prof. Dr. Friedrich Paulsen
Professor Friedrich Paulsen (born 1965 in Kiel) passed the 'Abitur' in Brunswick and trained successfully as a nurse. After studying human medicine in Kiel, he became scientific associate at the Institute of Anatomy, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of the Christian-Albrechts-Universitt Kiel. In 2002, together with his colleagues, he was awarded the Teaching Award for outstanding teaching in the field of anatomy at the Medical Faculty of the University of Kiel. On several occasions he gained work experience abroad in the academic section of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Bristol, UK, where he did research for several months.
From 2004 to 2010 as a University Professor, he was head of the Macroscopic Anatomy and Prosector Section at the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology of the Martin-Luther-Universitt Halle-Wittenberg. Starting in April 2010, Professor Paulsen became the Chairman at the Institute of Anatomy II of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universitt Erlangen. Since 2006, Professor Paulsen is a board member of the Anatomical Society and 2009 he was elected the general secretary of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomy (IFAA).
His main research area concerns the innate immune system. Topics of special interest are antimicrobial peptides, trefoil factor peptides, surfactant proteins, mucins, corneal wound healing, as well as stem cells of the lacrimal gland and diseases such as eye infections, dry eye, or osteoarthritis.
Prof. Dr. Jens Waschke
Professor Jens Waschke (born in 1974) habilitated in 2007 after graduation from Medical School and completing a doctoral thesis at the University of Wuerzburg. From 2003 to 2004 he joined Professor Fitz-Roy Curry at the University of California in Davis for a nine months research visit. From 2008 to 2011, he was the Chairman at the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology III at the University of Wuerzburg. Starting in March 2011, Professor Waschke became the Chairman at the Institute of Anatomy of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitt Mnchen. In 2005, together with his colleagues, Professor Waschke was awarded the Albert Koelliker Teaching Award of the Faculty of Medicine in Wuerzburg. In 2006, he was awarded the Wolfgang Bargmann Prize of the Anatomical Society.
His main research area concerns cellular mechanisms that control the adhesion between cells and the cellular junctions establishing the outer and inner barriers of the human body. The attention is focused on the regulations of the endothelial barrier in inflammation and the mechanisms, which lead to the formation of fatal dermal blisters in pemphigus, an autoimmune disease. The goal is to gain a better understanding of cell adhesion as a basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
Studying anatomy is fun! Recognising the structures on the dissection, understanding their relationships and gaining
an overview of how they work together assures confident study and transition into clinical practice.
Sobotta focuses on the basics, making it totally comprehensive. Every tiny structure has been addressed according to
current scientific knowledge and can be found in this atlas. Themes relevant to exams and sample questions from oral
anatomy exams help to focus the study process.
