Presented in two volumes of superb print quality, the Wolf-Heidegger atlas of human anatomy is aimed both at students in the preclinical and clinical stages of their studies and at clinical practitioners. The standard illustrative material is presented in colour throughout and structures are named according to the new internationally accepted "Terminologia anatomica". The first volume covers systemic anatomy, body wall, upper and lower limbs while the second covers head and neck; thoracic, abdominal and pelvic viscera; pelvic diaphragm and genitals; central nervous system; visual organ and orbital cavity and, finally; vestibulocochlear organ.

In addition, an important feature of this atlas is that it presents, side-by-side, classic anatomical sections with the corresponding radiographic plates, computerized tomograms, magnetic resonance images or ultrasound pictures, as appropriate. This should be especially helpful to those who want to learn, or teach, procedures that require an intimate knowledge of anatomical structures, such as major vascular access or regional anesthesia. In summary, this is a outstanding atlas of human anatomy which will accompany medical students for the duration of their studies, whatever their field of interest or specialization. Clinicians in practice should consider adding this atlas to their personal library or, at a minimum, to the department's collection.
