A Master's Secret...
I am a Master of Wine Student. I have own 5 editions of this atlas during my wine career. I thought I wouldn't need to upgrade to this new edition because, well, honestly, I didn't think this book could tell me any more than I already knew. Wow, I was wrong. The ...

Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science)

Frank H. Netter

Saunders, 2006

for the visual types...
The book has clear layout, and is cross-referenced by 14ed of Grant's Dissector. It's definitely lacking in basic explanations which other atlases have, but it's nice, clean and visually vivid. I relied on this almost exclusively, along with the dissector in learning ...

New Concise World Atlas

Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Great for research
I bought this atlas because I wanted one as up-to-date as possible (in light of political boundaries and such), and wanted something to accompany a globe I have. There is a lot of useful information at the front of the atlas, so it's not just a book of maps. I use it ...

The Onion

Our Dumb World
Quick delivery and perfect condition. This book follows true Onion fashion. It's hilarious and gives descriptions of every place in the world. Don't expect it to be politically correct, which is what the Onion never is, and which is also what makes the Onion absolutely ...

Dutton Adult, 2005

Next time you hear the word "bailout" in the news...

Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins))

Duane E Haines

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Neuroanatomy a big deal for USMLE step 1
It is a well done book for preparing USMLE step 1. In addition, there are questions like the USMLE test that can help the student to pass it. I also recommend it for neurologists and neuroradiologists, because there are a lot of CT and MRI scans!

A magnificent book, which is indeed current to within the last year, including buildings such as `The birds nest' used in the Chinese Olympics and Toronto's ROM, but not their recently updated AGO. The buildings are described well in the text along with ...

The best Histology book that I've found.
This Histology book is the most thorough and well-written text out there. If you have no background in Histology, this book can be quite intimidating because it is content-rich. I was very overwhelmed when I first started with this book for undergrad, but now that I ...

I've had the new atlas for 60 days and find myself looking something up every 2-3 days. It's really been fun looking up remote places like Palmyra Atoll, Kerguelen Island, the Fly River and other obscure places I read about. And now I've found an interesting use ...
