As a biology major I truly enjoyed this deep dive into the meaning behind obscure anatomical parts. The amount of research that went into this is amazing, as it not only covered the latinized meaning of the systems, organs, etc. it also included any history change to the term as scientific discovered more behind the hidden world of the human body.

The illustrations were beautiful and clever, including imagery that related to the entomology of the anatomical name. This book was innovative, educational, and a super fun read for me.

I give it 4.5 stars but rounding up to 5

I did not review the final version of this book, but from what I can see and read, it is a definite must for library collections.

Dr. Alice Roberts brings her artistic talents and her deep knowledge of science and medicine to her illustrated book Anatomical Anomalies.

I found this volume to be interesting both because of my interest in human anatomy—I have worked in healthcare in a variety of roles—and my desire for continued learning.

This book presented me with new ways to remember information about the body structures described as well as intriguing facts about each featured-and perhaps less well known-anatomical part.

If you have an interest in medicine or the human anatomy, this is a book for you!

I have to say, this book was a lot of fun. I work in the medical field and I had to take a lot of A&P. Some of these odd places were familiar and some were new! The illustrations were on point and made the whole reading experience a lot more enjoyable. This is definitely a must read for anyone in the medical field and I hope there will be more anatomical oddities coming to us in the future!
