It is great. The only improvement I would make would be to have additional views for a couple of the body cavities. It is sometimes difficult to visualized the orientation of specific anatomy without additional views. Overall, extremely detailed and great text descriptions.
For Massage therapist...really helps with fiber directions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Coloring the muscle's fiber directions really instills a good sense of how they are "running". This is good because we can more effectively treat them. The book also reinforces origin and insertions. You are coloring the entire muscle from origin, belly, to insertion. Muscles that have more than one head are clearly defined. The book has all the innervation's and lymph system to color. Actually, this books includes all the organ systems in rich detail. Included is a little background info on each structure that is to be colored. Though not super small, these are not large drawings either, but I like that. It makes you really distinguish what you are coloring. You need coloring pencils, not crayons.

Good for any med student
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I started the first year of med school this year and really liked this book. It is extremely helpful since you probably need 3 books to makeup for this one book. It has a description of the location on the side and then pictures which you can color. My favorite part is that it has all the information about muscles like origin and inverations. It is a great book and a must-buy for any medical student.
Good line drawings for A & P students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
With A & P textbooks costing about $150 these days, I cannot justify asking my students to buy anything that isn't worth its weight in gold. This book is a good reference for lab with good line drawings for studying anatomy. The price is right.
