Our enthusiasm for the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy began when each of US,independently,saw prelimina ry materiaI from this Atlas.Both of US were immediately captivated by the new approach,the conceptual organization.and by the stunning quality and detail of the images of the Atlas.We were delighted when the editors at Thieme offered US the opportunity to cooperate with them in making thiS outstandina resource avallable to our students and colleagues in North America.
