This is a great book for the novice to see the major muscles and how they work in the body or for the more advanced anatomist that would like a review/quick look at them. Information is not dumbed down though just gives you the basic facts and a little extra to help put things in perspective and give you a better big picture understanding. Like that the pictures are clear. I love that he has practical applications sections on each like "body language weakness" which explains how one would act or look if have a weakness in certain muscle and "watch out" which explains movements that can injure the muscle discussed. Plus the other interesting helpful blurs like he explains the origin of the name. Definitely recommend this book.

Other good A&P books: Trail Guide to the Body, Anatomy of Movement, Guide to the Human Body (by Richard Walker - is a pocket sized book with a page or two page spread on each system), clinical anatomy made ridiculously simple (some of the info in this is distorted because dumbed down but gets the big pictures across)

I loved this book. It is well organized. Easy for people with less knowledge of anatomy to follow. A good companion for Anatomy and Movement students. I liked this better than the pocket anatomy book.

I have been a massage therapist for over 13 years. This is a great book to use as a visual aid when speaking to clients about what is going on in their bodies. It is simple, direct and useful. It does not get caught up in medical jargon but is right to the point!

I have bought several anatomy books for my vinyasa yoga teacher training, and this is the best one by far.

This book provides great information in a concise and well organized manner. I got this and a foam roller and I have had improvements is flexibility, but the most impressive part is the amount of relief I have from daily pain. If you want to feel better you need to use the information in this book!

I bought this to help me brush up for my mblex exam for massage therapy, I pass and no dout this was one of the many books that helped me with the origin, and insertions of the muscles! Great Book!

What a nice way to learn anatomy! A good guide and resource, including alternative treatments. Happy I got it.

Great illustrations, but just did not like the format of the information as it was focused on the negative!

The small little book is packed with great info for all practioners, even novices-muscle problems, shows triggers points to release those muscle spasms, and also helpfully additional info. Recommend this highly.

Good overview of all the muscles, I would have liked a little more information, but a good introduction book.
