Ken McFadden of the Division of Anatomy at the University of Alberta, who ensured I received the training in gross anatomy instruction required to be successful, and to the thousands of professional students who I have taught over the past 30 years, honing these skills. However, none of the success I've enjoyed during my time in academia would have been possible without the constant support, participation, and encouragement of my wife, Cynthia Long. B.R.M.

We would like to thank the authors of the original award-winning Thieme Atlas of Anatomy, three-volume series, Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher, and the illustrators, Karl Wesker and Marcus Voll, for their work over the course of many years. We thank the many instructors and students who have pointed out to us what we have done well and brought to our attention errors, ambiguities, and new information, or have suggested how we could present a topic more effectively. This input, combined with our experience teaching with the Atlas, have guided our work on this edition.

This Atlas of Anatomy, in my opinion, is the finest single-volume atlas of human anatomy that has ever been created. Two factors make it so: the images and the way they have been organized. The artists, Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, have created a new standard of excellence in anatomical art. Their graceful use of transparency and their sensitive representation of light and shadow give the reader an accurate three-dimensional understanding of every structure. The authors have organized the images so that they give just the flow of information a student needs to build up a clear mental image of the human body.

Each two-page spread is a self-contained lesson that unobtrusively shows the hand of an experienced and thoughtful teacher. I wish I could have held this book in my hands when I was a student; I envy any student who does so now. Robert B. Acland
