Instant Anatomy is a revolutionary concept in anatomy books. It is a quick reference book that neatly catalogues anatomy in a dictionary-style format. This concise text allows for the rapid and accurate retrieval of anatomical information. Divided into sections that cover the major aspects of anatomy, each section adopts a consistent approach that pulls together the information on an artery, for example, that would otherwise be spread between sections of a large textbook. Rather like a textual-wiring diagram, Instant Anatomy traces the route of arteries, veins, nerves and lymphatics. Other useful sections include details of vertebral level equivalents, all joints, and a comprehensive description of the branchial arches and charts of ossification times.

Instant Anatomy will particularly appeal to undergraduate medical students and prospective surgeons who are studying for the first part of a higher degree in surgery. It will also be extremely useful for clinicians who need to remind themselves of anatomical facts at all stages of their careers, and for paramedical groups such as physiotherapists and radiographers.
