Product Description |
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. "Doody's Core Titles™ 2009."

 A very effective dissector; use it in and outside of lab |
| Review Date: March 21, 2001 |
| Reviewer: , Temple, TX United States |
| I am a medical student at Texas A&M USHSC COM. This is the standard for anatomy lab. No other dissector will do. I say this simply because almost all medical schools will be following (almost page by page) the general course laid out within this text. I would not suggest buying the combo pack. In stead, this book is best used in conjunction with Rohen's (Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body), Netter's (Atlas of Human Anatomy), and Moore (Clinically Oriented Anatomy). *Using the dissector to do a virtual dissection at home with your Rohen every night before lab will greatly increase your yield and decrease your lab time. This is a very important point (as anyone who has been through this part of medical school can tell you). --> You will need a CLEAN copy for home use. You should consider this even if you have to buy a spare <-- There are some errors in the dissector, but they are of no consequence as long as you use it in conjunction with the other texts mentioned above. |
Good book for gross anatomy lab

| I'm a med student and used this book for my gross anatomy lab and it was quite helpful. I did have to reference Netter's Atlas along with this to get a deeper understanding of the subject matter. However, I do recommend Grant's Dissector book because without it, I found that I was totally lost in my dissection lab. This book showed me more instruction on how to dissect then just listening to my lab instructor. For my gross anatomy exams , I also used the following which is on amazon: Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi. This study guide helped me to prepare for the type of questions that were asked on the test. My friends told me about this book from another med school. In conclusion, I recommend the following for gross anatomy class: Grant's Dissector, Netter's Atlas, and Spinal Anatomy Study Guide:Key Review Questions and Answers |
pass on this one

I used Netter's and Rohen's to study the dissection at home the night before. Our table had the Grant's at the table, and it was rarely useful. We usually looked at the Netter's at the next table, and it became a running joke to make fun of the Grant's.
Get the Netter's if you prefer drawings, or the Rohen's if you prefer pictures. I liked studying the Netter's and then looking at the Rohen's. Then I went into the lab and recognized the structures from my personal study. Grant's won't help you to do that much. |
Lots of errors in the 1999 edition

| This edition of Sauerland's Grant's Dissector is much better illustrated than previous editions and has very useful cross-referencing to various atlases. However, it seems it was not edited very carefully since it has many many errors in it. We are trying to put together a list of all these errors to submit to the publisher, as I am sure are other gross anatomy professors across the US, but buyers of the edition in its present form should be aware of this serious problem. |
Great book, annoying binding

Excellent dissection guide for a cadaveric anatomy course. Buy two, one as a "greaser" and one to keep at home to study from. Grant's has simple schematics to help you locate structures as you dissect, as well as references to Grant's Atlas, Netter's, Clemente ("regional atlas") and Rohen (photographic). I own them all and love them all.
One problem: the binding is that terrible metal-coil fall-apart-the-instant-you-open-the-book style. Try to find one that is book-bound. |
