Learning Gross presents the core concepts of how to succeed as a student or professor in an essential Gross Anatomy class. Dr. Forbes goes where no one else has gone - to the inner workings of an excellent Human Anatomy course - and describes in detail the rare experience of a semester spent exploring the human body.

Learning Gross is a valuable tool for succeeding in a Gross Anatomy class. In felicitous prose, it is a meditation on what it takes to present and receive an excellent Anatomy course, deftly assembled and stuffed with facts and information. Those concepts are presented with clarity in a comprehensive format, for easy reference by the reader.

If you are a professor, this book can transform the way you present your class. If you’re a student, how will you approach the sheer volume of information presented in a Gross Anatomy course? This book will help you retain the content of the course throughout your matriculation, and into your clinical practice.

The book discusses learning the physical anatomy. Then, with an imaginative wit, it presents, between each two chapters, a little of the metaphysical, embodied in a trenchant conversation with one of the donor bodies in his laboratory.

Unlike other books about cadaver courses written by laypeople attending a Gross Anatomy course, this book is written by an academic who has spent his life in that milieu. It is a special perspective, one that equips the writer to present you with practical, authentic advice on what it takes to succeed.

Excerpt from the Book

For most people, what’s inside the body is a great mystery. Haven’t you found that to be so? Most people entertain vague ideas about where organs are located, what they do, and how they work. But for those of us who study human gross anatomy, it’s different. For those of us who have the splendid opportunity to explore the body for ourselves, to actually see for ourselves the beauty and grace inside the human body, and to learn its secrets in order to better serve our patients, it’s a compelling, once-in-a-lifetime revelation. Ours is a uniquely privileged study, and that study would be impossible except for the unrequitable thoughtfulness of people we’ve never met, who had the charity to give to us what was their most intimate home for seventy, eighty, ninety years.

We begin that study as strangers – strangers to the human body and strangers to each other – and we invariably finish as good friends to both. I’m happy you haven’t missed this rare opportunity. And someday, when you’re really old, twenty, thirty, forty years after you graduate, when you’ve achieved your goals and you are a practicing healthcare professional, you will have occasion to get a whiff of formaldehyde, and that will cause you to remember. You’ll remember the Anatomy Lab, the names of your lab partners and instructors, and your donor body. And you’ll reflect on what is called the “music” of the Anatomy Laboratory: the sound of learning, the sound of discovery, the sound of students teaching other students, all throughout the room. And you will recall that lovely aroma in the lab.

And here’s the thing: when you remember, you will smile. I promise you will.

Bright, with great diffuser
Size: 16.4ft
This is a nice, flexible light with a good diffuser. The tape is sticky, so make sure you want this to be permanent, because it's likely to damage wall paint when removed. Lot's of color, pattern, and dynamic light options with the software. My last Govee light strip had the green LEDs burn out after a year, hopefully that's not the case here. I will update this review if that happens. These are pretty pricey, so hopefully they're durable!

Awesome lights just know that they are neon colored and very bright!
Size: 9.8ft
These lights were very easy to install. Very much more flexible than rope lights or even desk lights. They look awesome on my cabinets if I do say so myself….. also know that it wherever you put them is where they’re going to stay… for eternity. Adhesive is so strong that when I had to remove one, I had to use a knife and cut the adhesive off of the actual light itself and leave the adhesive behind or it will tear all the paint off of my wall. It’s a good thing that they’re very strong adhesive wise. Just make sure that you know exactly where you’re putting it and that you have measured properly and if you’re going to cut it, make sure that you do that before you start putting it up. Also, a big deal is that these are neon colored and very bright! If you are trying to match something like dream view, for instance (I did) they will not match with the other lights at all not even close. They don’t even match the desk lights that you see in the video along my countertops. I have to turn the brightness down or it overpower the entire kitchen and other lights.

Super Bright and Even – These LED Strips Are a Game-Changer
Size: 9.8ft
I’ve been using the Govee COB LED Strip Light Pro for a while now, and honestly, they’re unlike any other LED strips I’ve tried. They’re ultra bright—so much that they actually feel like regular overhead room lighting. That’s a big deal if you’re trying to light up a whole wall or create even, direct lighting without harsh spots. I was really impressed by how even and clean the light spread is; there are no visible dots or hotspots, which makes them perfect for wall-washing or under-cabinet setups where you want that smooth glow. One thing I noticed is that the adhesive is decent, but not super strong. At first, I wasn’t thrilled, but then I realized it’s kind of a good thing—especially if you ever want to remove or reposition them. Since the tape isn’t overly aggressive, it won’t rip up your walls or leave a nasty residue. That’s a win for renters or anyone who likes to switch things up. The packaging felt premium, and the colors pop—whether I’m using them for ambient vibes or cranking them up for brightness. The Govee app is easy to use, and the built-in scenes with smooth animations make it fun to switch up the mood quickly. Now, here’s the real talk: these lights are expensive, no doubt. But if brightness is your top priority, I haven’t found anything better on the market. They really do stand out for being strong enough to replace traditional lighting in certain setups. The color accuracy is good overall, but when I use DreamView, I notice it’s not perfect—mainly because you can only set 6 zones per strip. That limits how detailed the color mapping can get, especially on longer runs. So if you’re going for ultra-precise RGB sync, it’s not flawless. But for everyday brightness and evenness? These are hands-down the best I’ve used.

Awesome set of lights!
Size: 16.4ft
Great example of you get what you pay for! These lights actually stay stuck where they should unlike cheaper versions that peel off over time. The remote is very easy to control and there is a massive variety of colors and moods to choose from - something for everyone! Adds just the right mood for whatever you’re looking for.

Cost too high
Size: 9.8ft
Bulky and heavy plug/wiring. Control ‘remote’ is attached to wiring/plug. The strip itself is heavy and does not stick well on ceiling nor walls. Would be best used on shelves or floors. Not worth the money. It is a basic strip of lights with a thick coating over lights.
