Which of the Moore books to buy for Anatomy?

[lotanna]

Essential Clinical aka BabyMoore or Clinically Oriented aka Big Moore?

I've heard some say get Lil moore, others say get Big Moore. I just want something to use to pass anatomy(schl is P/F, no High Pass or anything), and anatomy is low yield on the boards, so dont want anything to stress me out 😀
I already will have Rohen and Netters
Baby Moore is required text here and Big Moore is recommeded text

I did not like the baby Moore and prefer the big Moore although I did not buy it, I just checked it out from our library.

Stick with Baby Moore if you are just looking to pass. Although, it sometimes helps to read the same topic out of a few different books (ie- Big Moore) if you are struggling with it.

I personally loved the Big Moore's, but I'm an anatomy junkie. You should be OK sticking with the little Moores if your just looking at passing. The one thing that the little Moore's does not have is the blue clinical corrolates pages. If you go little Moore, stop in the library and photocopy these pages from big Moore's for each chapter. These clinical pages are the high yield material for both the Boards and for 3rd/4th year pimping.

I would go with Clinically Oriented Anatomy (aka Big Moore). I used it during anatomy and thought it was great...the blue clinical correlation boxes really help. The chapters are well organized and not that difficult to read. My advice would be to go to the library and compare the two and then make the decision from there. Determining which book is going to help you the most is a decision that only you can make. Good luck! 🙂

my general method is to read the text once for understanding and then use it for reference and diagrams.
therefore my suggestion is to read thru it once and then pick a review book (eg brs, core concepts) and keep going over that and then just go back to big moore if you don't understand something.
hope that helps

Funny my friends are also telling me to use Big Moore especially as a good reference.
Ok now I think I'm going with big Moore, thanks guys!!

The new COA will be out April of 2005. Here is a list of new features:

1. The text has been streamlined by eliminating repetition, using tables to convey information where appropriate, and shortening figure legends.

2. All new surface anatomy and updated diagnostic images ensure a clear understanding of basic anatomical and diagnostic principles.

3. Each main topic ends with a new ?Bottom Line? summary that reinforces important concepts and facts.

4. Functional anatomy is used to illustrate the mechanics of movement, where appropriate.

5. New clinical (Blue) boxes provide even more clinical relevance than previous editions and are enhanced with additional clinical illustrations, photographs, and diagnostic images.

6. Numerous tables, many with illustrations, cover muscles, nerves, arteries, and more.

7. Updated art program developed specifically for this text is supplemented with classic figures from Grant?s Atlas of Anatomy.

8. A student CD-ROM containing images from the Fifth Edition as well as interactive case studies that highlight the application of anatomy to clinical practice is included with each copy of the book.

Big Moore. Though I have difficulty with how it phrases things sometimes.. and the small titties 👎

Neither get High Yield and memorize your lecture notes cold.

Big Moore. Blue boxes were the key to honoring for me.

If the new one isn't coming out till next year, than what is the holdup with getting one now? They are not in stock.

Also the one on the lww site says publish date 2004, but the ones you can get from amazon or walmart.com, etc, say publish date 1999. Isn't that a big difference? The ones from 1999 are availble to get now but the 2004 isn't. Wonder when those will be sent out to people who have already placed their orders.

Any insight?

There is not going to be a huge difference. Last I checked, human anatomy hasn't changed much for the the past 10,000 years. Get a used Big Moore and save yourself serious bucks.
