W alid I. Elbermani, M.D., Ph.D. has prepared a clinical edition of Professor Dr. med. Bernhard N. Tillmann’s Atlas of Human Anatomy. In this atlas Doctor Elbermani clearly documents his belief that knowing the clinical application is one of the best methods of understanding anatomical structures. Doctor Elbermani strongly focuses on the relationship of anatomical structures with their function. The drawings in the atlas are excellent and well oriented; the labels easy to read and clear. Of especial importance, besides many of the anatomical drawings, are the clinical matters that must be understood and considered in treatment. Atlas of Human Anatomy, a product of the mind and hand of master teachers, is a welcomed addition to anatomical literature. It should be in the library of anatomists, physicians, nurses, students, and others in the health professions. Lauro F.

Still, it is unrealistic to expect anyone to memorize every detail of human anatomy. Every clinician must have a readily available tool (and the skill to use it) to provide a just- in-time filler for their knowledge gaps. The Clinical Edition of Tillmann’s Atlas of Human Anatomy by Walid I. Elbermani is ideally suited for this role.

Printed and bound in China V Most anatomical atlases follow a long tradition with regard to their illustrations. When I was asked if I were willing to publish a new atlas of anatomy, I acquiesced under the condition that I be able to diverge from the conventional form of an atlas of anatomy. The atlas was intended to conform in content and didactics to the changes and requirements of anatomical instruction with regard to the new regulations governing the licensing of doctors. This atlas is indeed different from other atlases. For me as a "clinical anatomist," the teaching of the subject of Anatomy is no end in itself. Later, as a clinician, the doctor must be able to apply his knowledge of Anatomy. From this perspective, we have made our preparations and drawn them for the atlas. The illustrations depict the anatomical structures in such a way as to facilitate the reader's understanding of clinical coherences. The most important characteristic of an anatomical atlas is its illustrations. The goal of the creation of new illustrations for the atlas at hand was to illustrate the close connection between preclinical and clinical content. The new illustrations were created with the help of anatomical preparations which were made from a practical- clinical perspective. The pictures, which were drawn with regard to their clinical application, fit in easily with the classical illustrations of "v. Lanz/Wachsmuth", whose objective is identified as "Practical Anatomy" in the title. The anatomical pictures complement illustrations of modern imaging procedures as examples. The systematics of the pathways is based largely on illustrations of "Anatomie des Menschen" by Braus and Elze, which were revised and amended didactically with the help of modern imaging techniques. Despite the systematic method of illustration, the three-dimensional allocation is preserved and allows for their integration into the topographic- clinical illustrations. The wish of the students was granted by choosing a photograph instead of a drawing for the illustration of the skeleton system. With this atlas, the students are encouraged to feel motivated to follow their medical curiosity: "Why do I actually have to know this?" That is why the anatomical pictures are annotated with clinical commentaries. Clinicians of all fields, e.g. Otorhinolaryngology, Surgery, or Ophthalmology, have developed and revised these texts together with me. For this reason, you will not find any outdated information in our atlas. We have introduced a modern clinic into the atlas and thereby also fulfill the requirements of the new regulations governing the licensure of doctors. Furthermore, we have made a point of keeping the texts intelligible for students of the preclinical section. Everything has been cross-read by medical students. Without seeking to go beyond the scope of the usual didactic focus of an atlas, learning aids and clinical advice in select examples were included the atlas. A "Navigation System" in the form of colored markings in the illustration notes and in all tables facilitates use of the atlas, e.g. the learning of branch orders of vessels or the allocation of motor and sensitive nerves. The clinical advice has a direct relationship to the content of the respective illustration; it is designed to inspire curiosity and motivate the students of the preclinical section to independently and continuously further their studies, which is an explicit requirement of the new regulations governing the licensure of doctors. As far as clinically active physicians are concerned, may the clinical advice already known to them rekindle their "passion” for anatomy, the root of all medical activity. The author and publisher offer this atlas to students of medicine and to physicians with the desire that it may be helpful in their preparation for the occupation or in their practical activities. —Bernhard N.Tillmann Kiel, Spring 2004 Portions of this edited Preface are derived from an interview conducted by Christian Schaaf, born in 1978, Student of Human Medicine in Heidelberg
