    Dr. Robert Acland discusses the anatomy DVD series on The Lippincott Authors’ Blog. Read the blog and submit your questions!





    These DVDs show you true images of real, exquisitely dissected human anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As the camera moves from one viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate in space, letting the viewer experience it as a three-dimensional object.

    Acland's DVD Atlas uses fresh, un-embalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, mobility--and beauty--of the living human body. A concise synchronized narration runs throughout the program. As each new structure is shown, its name appears on the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each section. Specific content can be accessed through detailed searches of the index and table of contents.

    For students, Acland's DVD Atlas is a time-saving aid to first-time learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for clinical rotations, and a time-efficient tool for review. For clinicians in training and in practice, it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge. For teachers, Acland's DVD Atlas shortens the time needed to provide immediate, satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.

    DVD 6: The Internal Organs
    The sixth and final DVD in the series explores the fundamental structures of the internal organs. It consists of three sections, describing:


  • The Thoracic Organs
  • The Abdominal Organs
  • The Reproductive Organs

    Exciting details! DVD 6 presents detailed images of the internal organs. Each organ is shown in its natural location, plus principal organs are shown in isolation so that their three-dimensional structure can also be clearly understood. In addition to the dissection and presentation techniques already familiar to users of DVDs 1-5, DVD 6 presents numerous scenes made with Dr. Acland's "fishtank" technique. This technique allows the viewer to see organs as if they were weightlessly suspended in space, allowing a 360 degree view of the true shape of the structure without the distorting effect of gravity. Shots presented using this technique show the outer surface of organs as well as cut-aways that present internal structure.

The intuitive navigation system allows users to locate structures quickly. The interface includes a human silhouette to provide longitudinal orientation through the body. Anatomic regions are color-coded for quick-click access.

    "I love these video tapes. I only wish I had them as a first year medical student." -- Stephen Parsons, Medical Student, University of Utah School of Medicine (2000)

    "These tapes are extremely helpful in understanding the depth and layers of the human body." -- Rebecca Scot, Massage Therapist (2000)

    "I sometimes lend the tapes to clients -- they are a straightforward way for people to see how their bodies really work in 3D. Well done!" -- Krisha Crabtree, Massage Therapist (1999)

    "The style and balanced pace of the speaker, the excellence of the dissection and the 3-D technology make this an excellent anatomy learning tool." -- Ron Petit, M.S., Member of the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (1999)

    "Before watching these tapes, I had an adequate grasp of human anatomy. The tapes thoroughly reinforced my knowledge." -- Jason Kaplan, Medical Student, Louisiana State University (1999)

    "I teach Kinesiology to PTA students...an absolute must for any non-cadaver course in Anatomy or Kinesiology" -- Williams H. Staples, MS, PT, GCS Ivy Tech State College (1997)

    "One of the best, cleanest presentations in gross anatomy I have ever seen." -- Dr. K. Jackson Thomas, Medical University of South Carolina (1998)
