There are several classic atlases of human anatomy available to the student, with excellent illustrations. However in most cases they are the work of an artist, seeking to present each detail to be seen in the field of view. And such drawings may not be useful to the uninitiated student of anatomy. An anatomy student needs illustrations that give a clear depiction of the layout of individual structures, unobscured by detail that detracts from the main relationships within those structures. Such illustrations can be produced only by a very close collaboration of artist and anatomist and better still if the anatomist himself draws them. This atlas is the result of Dr. Singh’s life time’s work as both anatomist and artist.
