Focusing on the essentials, the Concise Handbook is an introduction to anatomy, a revision aid and a handy reference. Clear jargon-free descriptive text is supported by brilliant labelled dissections, colour photographs, and schematic diagrams. The Concise Handbook, explains difficult anatomical relationships, and indicates points of clinical significance. Design matches content: the emphasis is on clarity and precision.
