most versatile anatomy plates anywhere

Albinus on Anatomy is one of my favorite resources as a body worker and movement specialist. There are not many places where we have such wonderful pictures of the entire skeleton that are not in "anatomical position". The opening pages are not only works of art but give us visions of the inner workings of human anatomy as it lives and breaths and moves in everyday life. I highly recommend this book as a front line resource for anyone who teaches movement or coaches sports or works with the body in any healing art.

Great But Not All You Might Expect

I've used Albinus' plates for years in teaching Artistic Anatomy, and this is the best resource. They are remarkable achievements, astonishingly accurate, but compared with the many and multiple views of the figure available today, they are a bit less complete than you might want. The best reason for buying this version is that Robert Beverly Hale's introduction is as full of wisdom for learning artistic anatomy as any paragraphs I've ever read.

I bought this book as a study guide for an anatomy class that I'm taking for a yoga training. I am usually put off by more scientific books, and was worried I would be bored, so I got his book, designed I think for humanties types rather than science types. He has these crazy backgrounds to keep you interested I guess. The human body against the backdrop of ... a rhinoceros. So I really had fun with the crazy pictures. But the anatomy drawings are beautiful, They're very clear, and the style is intriguing to an artsy type like myself. I liked the way they make a copy of each illustration on the facing page to list out the different body parts. It made studying very very easy. If you need to learn anatomy and don't require an in-depth study, this book is a great little guide, and is very interesting even if you don't have to study anatomy.

The illustration of bone and muscle that this artist provided the world is still the best! The one thing that I appreciate the most is the correct proportions and clear definition. It is limited in the actual use for artists beyond pure illustration but is a keeper to go along with all of the material it seems to take to put a complete reference together. The reason for this is ACCURACY and CORRECT PROPORTION!
