A Nice Reference
Arrived about 20 days earlier that what Amazon had predicted, good for me,
unfortunately it was not packed for traveling long distances, so one book was a little damaged on the cover corners,

I really like the way chapters are organized, it is used "Evidence Scoring" a hierarchical system to indicate the level of evidence supporting their statements, so it's easier for further research.
Everything is detailed and up to date, the illustrations are very good, which is rare for this kind of book, in fact you would not need any atlas to work with this Reference.
As a drawback lets say that it could be better edited, definitely not the right choice for residents,

what a wonder.
