We would like to express our great gratitude to all coworkers
who helped to make the Color Atlas of Anatomy a success. We
are particularly indebted to those who dissected new specimens
with great skill and knowledge, particularly to Jeff Bryant (member
of our staff) and Dr. Martin Rexer (now Klinikum Fürth, Germany),
who prepared most of the new specimens of the fifth, sixth and
seventh edition. We would also like to thank Dr. K. Okamoto
(now Nagasaki, Japan), who dissected many excellent specimens of
the fourth edition, also included in the fifth edition. Furthermore,
we are greatly indebted to Prof. W. Neuhuber and his coworkers
for their great efforts in supporting our work.
The specimens of the previous editions also depicted in this
volume were dissected with great skill and enthusiasm by Prof.
Dr. S. Nagashima (now Nagasaki, Japan), Dr. Mutsuko Takahashi
(now Tokyo, Japan), Dr. Gabriele Lindner-Funk (Erlangen, Germany),
Dr. P. Landgraf (Erlangen, Germany), and Miss Rachel M. McDonnell

Finally, we would like to express our great gratitude to our
photographer, Mr. Marco Gößwein, who contributed the very
excellent macrophotos. Excellent and untiring work was done by
our secretaries, Mrs. Lisa Köhler and Elisabeth Wascher, and as
well by our artists, Mr. Jörg Pekarsky and Mrs. Annette Gack, who
not only performed excellent new drawings but revised effectively
the layout of the new edition.
Last but not least, we would like to express our sincere thanks to
all scientists, students, and other coworkers, particularly to the
ones at the publishing companies themselves.

This new edition was revised and structured anew in different
ways. Each chapter is provided with an introductory front page
to give an overview of the topics of the chapter and short
descriptions. The whole introductory chapter “General Anatomy”
was newly arranged and supported with introductory texts, thus
facilitating students to better understand the complicated
“world” of gross anatomy. The large chapter 2 “Head and Neck”
was split into 5 sub-chapters with an introductory page each.
Furthermore, the drawings were revised and improved in many
chapters and depicted more consistently. In most of the chapters
new photographs taken from newly dissected specimens were
placed behind the systematic descriptions of the anatomical
structures so that students can study – e.g. before dissecting an
extremity – the systematic anatomy of bones, joints, muscles,
nerves and vessels. For studying the photographs of the specimens
the use of a magnifier might be helpful. The enormous plasticity of
the photos is surprising, especially at higher magnifications.
and more important for the student in preclinics. We would like
to express our sincere thanks to Prof. Heuck, Munich, who provided
In the underlying seventh edition photographs of the surface
anatomy of the human body were included again. We omitted
marks and indications in order not to affect the quality of the
Despite numerous additions and amendments the size of the
volume did not increase so that students both in preclinics and in
clinics are offered an atlas easy to handle and cope with.
While preparing this new edition, the authors were reminded of
how precisely, beautifully, and admirably the human body is
constructed. If this book helps the student or medial doctor to
appreciate the overwhelming beauty of the anatomical architecture
of tissues and organs in the human, then it greatly fulfils its task.
Deep interest and admiration of the anatomical structures may
create the “love for man”, which alone can be considered of
primary importance for daily medical work.
We would like to express our great gratitude to all coworkers
for their skilled work. Without their help the improvements of
the Color Atlas of Anatomy would not have been possible. We
would also like to express our sincere thanks to those at
Schattauer GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany, Lippincott, Williams &
Wilkins, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and Igaku-Shoin, Tokyo,
Japan, who always listened to our suggestions and invested
again a great deal of their effort into improving this book.
