5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy Review, October 16, 2005

This text book is very informative and easy to understand. We bought this and the Intro to the Human Body Study Guide. It comes with an interactive CD which enhances the curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for massage therapy students, October 18, 2005

By	Thuy L. Bechard (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Required material for some massage students, this book is a great deal, saving nearly 40-50% off what you'd pay at the student book store or anywhere else for that matter. Has excellent diagrams and explanations to help through a/p.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text, March 25, 2006

By	Kelly A. Worster - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is fantastic. I learned a lot from it and the organization of the material was great. It even offers "Checkpoints" for focus on what you just read, and the answers for the "Critical Thinking" questions and "Self-quizzes" are in the back of the book. These questions are so helpful...my instructor actually used several like them on our exams. My only gripe with this text is that a few of the answers to the Self-Quizzes are incorrect. But if you've done your work, you'll be able to tell the answer doesn't jive. Hopefully in the next edition they'll do more meticulous editing on that. But they give you the usual A&P stuff, and then apply it to real-life diagnoses & situations.
