5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book
I used to use the Kapit with my students. It's still a fine book, but the images in this book are 10 times better, and the text is more readable. A beautifully designed guide - and for a lot less money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it
I was very disapointed in this book. The first caption I loked over had errors in the writing. I also found errors in the labeling of the drawings. Although the information provided is helpful overall, I am wary to use it for review due to its inaccuracies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful learning aid for A and P students, August 4, 2003
By A Customer
My study group and I used this book for our anatomy and physiology class in our undergrad. We are all visual learners and found it quite useful for learning the various muscles, bones
and organs in the body. We are found the following very helpful which is also on amazon:
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 1) and (Volume 2)
The last two books showed us the type of questions to prepare for on our midterm and final exams. It is worth the money. It helped us all pass the class with ease. I give these 3 books my highest recommendations.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a Workbook, August 28, 2006
This review is from: Anatomy Coloring Workbook, Second Edition (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
This book is better than the Anatomy Coloring Book. Everything is organized by system. And the info that accompanies the diagrams state important facts to anatomy. It gave me an appropriate summary of my anatomy text.

One suggestion: Write your anatomy notes on the workbook pages. If you're covering the hepatic portal system in class, take notes on the Hepatic Portal System section. That way, you have the workbook's info, your class notes, and the supporting diagram. Condensed notes all in one location.

This is a great book. I've recommended it to all my classmates and everyone else I meet in anatomy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great and Not-So-Great, March 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: Anatomy Coloring Workbook, Second Edition (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
This book was good for me because it was affordable, has great pictures, covers everything I wanted, and has a simple format.

However, one needs to pay close attention when reading (which if you're studying you are) as I've noticed A LOT of typos - as in putting in the wrong word (usually repeating a word in the smae unit in the wrong place). Usually directionals.

There is also some conflicting and incomplete info. Sometimes information that is in one unit is different when presented in another unit. And some things are explained in great detail and others not - I assume this part is based on their decision on what should be included, as not everything can.

So, if you look out (I'm assuming there's no huge mistakes, but then I've never learned anatomy before, and what I did know is the same) it's a very fun, affordable, and informative book. Very user friendly, and almost designed too well for dummies - which is difficult considering the topic (a couple units are too complicated, like the skull, to not be confusing).

Depends on what you want! I would NOT use this for a class, unless they were younger, weren't going to directly need anatomy for their chosen field, or as a prep for an anatomy class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy enjoyable way to help memorize anatomy!, July 25, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anatomy Coloring Workbook, Second Edition (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
I homeschool ALL my 7 kids (4 are through college & grown, 3 remain, ages 9 -15) My 9 year old is in Algebra 1, & my 15 year old is in Calculus & physics, so they keep me going looking for ways to incorporate "learning" new info or reviewing "past" studies, without it being sooooo dry & boring! Let's face it some things just are tedious!! So this is a remarkably refreshing way to "review" or learn the body parts, almost effortlessly! One of my older children, when they were in college (pre-med) suggested this book, & we were very pleased with the results!! Give it a try, you should be delighted, as was I!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Tool...Some Errors...., January 19, 2009
This review is from: Anatomy Coloring Workbook, Second Edition (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
I bought this coloring book to help study for my Anatomy & Physiology class. I did not rely on this to help me study for an exam or anything, but I would use it in conjunction with my text book to really get familiar with the locations of the structures. The diagrams are really clear, and I like that there is a brief description accompanying the structures as well. The reason for the 4 star review is just the fact that there are some labeling errors in the book. If all the errors were corrected I would give this 5 stars for sure!
