Book Reviews of Grant's Dissector (Tank, Grant's Dissector)
Book Review: Nearly worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
This was "Required" for my medical school class this year. It was insisted upon by our instructors, who decried my purchase of the 13th edition as insufficient for the task.
I paged through this book one time before our second lab, and discovered very quickly that most medical students aren't A+ dissectors, and that much of the direction within this book is too tedious and too impractical for a medical school laboratory session. Moreover, the book ends up getting oily and ruined too quickly to be of much use.
Frankly, we just used an old Netter's atlas and dissected carefully. You'll be able to find about 80% of what you need to find on your own, another table or group will have better examples of the things you screw up.
This book played no role in my learning anatomy, or dissecting the cadaver, in medical school anatomy lab. Save your money, buy a cheap old Netter's atlas, and learn the anatomy the real way. Your dissecting skills, whether pro or neophyte, will get the job done either way.
Summary of Grant's Dissector (Tank, Grant's Dissector)
Since 1940, when Dr. J.C. Boileau Grant created the first lab manual based on Grant's method of dissection, Grant's Dissector has clearly established its authority and preeminence as the "gold standard" of gross anatomy dissection manuals. In the last edition, the material was streamlined to focus on more accurate, specific and clear steps, based on market conditions and feedback. This edition continues to focus on the trend of reduced lab hours yet maintains the quality and reliability of Grant's original manual.
Grant's Dissector, Fourteenth Edition features over 40 new figures to provide consistent appearance and include additional details, and is cross-referenced to the leading anatomy atlases, including Grant's, Netter's, Rohen, and Clemente.
