Summary: First Rate!
Review: This textbook is one which I would recommend to any medical student learning anatomy,or any surgical trainee. It is very clear and concise in terms of text, and very detailed. The diagrams are a bit poor, but if you use it in conjunction with an anatomy atlas, you should have no problems. It's finest feature, and the one which has led me to rave about it so much is that it is very clear regarding the general principles of anatomy, and this has helped me no end to understand the subject fully - a definite prerequisate to knowing the subject. It is filled with aids to memory, and it is very good for those trying to learn the subject for the first time. Trust me, I am one.

Summary: Last's anatomy the last resort
Review: Well this is one of those books that one should just have without second thought. For an ardent medical student or any belonging in the study of anatomy then this book is your guide to insertion and origin success.
Impress your friends, if this could just slice and dice it would be in one of those telemarketing adds. A highly innovative book which is second to none and has its own standing. I would strongly suggest anyone interested in medicine or anatomy to get this with Gray's anatomy clinical and surgical principles (CD version). With Last on your lap and Gray on your computer not only will you know what a gomphoses joint is and what type it is but also its clinical and pathological ramifications =)

Summary: The pocketbook edition of Last's - don't buy it!
Review: What has Chummy done?The bible for anatomists - Last's - has suffered it's worse insult yet, following the editing done by the new author. What was once comprehensive, is now much shorter, lacking in detail, and inconsistant. Where does the right phrenic pierce the diaphragm? With or next to the IVC? Through the IVC foramen or piercing the tendon? Both appear in the text... muscles have gained new origins, and interosseus planes cease to exist! Whilst maintaining an economical writing style, the only saviour to the text is the superb diagrams and pictures carried over from previous editions - each really does tell a story of a thousand words, which is useful, because the text doesn't. If you can, find a copy of the ninth edition - the best yet!
