I am using this book as a study tool for my Gross Anatomy course. Anyone who has taken an anatomy class can tell you that color-coding structures is one of the most helpful ways to remember them. There are drawings of bones, muscles, joints, organ systems and explanations of virtually everything that could possibly be covered in an anatomy class. The drawings are excellent and most of the features of the bones are labelled as well. This was very helpful to me since I had to memorize virtually every tubercle, ridge, groove, or other protuberance on every bone of the body. When I had trouble with the skull because the drawings in my class notes were horrible, the drawings in this book were much clearer and helped out a lot. If you are taking an anatomy class, this is a smart and relatively inexpensive investment that will help you remember everything better.

I found this book to be excellent for helping me with my college anatomy and physiology class. I first tried to learn locations of muscles by just looking at pictures. However, for some reason, the muscles would not stick to my mind as easy. I then started using this book and coloring the muscles. In this way, the locations of muscles stuck to my mind and was able to recall them on the test. However, I also highly recommend the following:
Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology
(ISBN: 0971999694)
I used this book for both my anatomy classes (Anatomy and Physiology 1) and (Anatomy and Physiology 2). Since it was easy to comprehend, my study time was decreased. This book was also to the point and it showed me which facts to study more. In this way, I was better prepared for my college exams while other students were still guessing what was going to be on the test. My advice is to get these 2 book for anatomy and physiology class. Both books are well worth the money.

I purchased this while taking a course in Anatomy, and did much better in the class. What would take the text a chapter to explain, this book explained in a few pages - sometimes in a few paragraphs. It was much easier to understand the organ systems when you could actually see how things worked. The coloring aspect to me at first, seemed rather silly, but it was so much fun that I quickly got past that! I would definately recommend this book to anyone taking anatomy - purchase it with your other texts if you can (I waited till mid semester to buy mine), and start off using it as a study guide - it will definately help. They make many other of these types of books also, so if you are studying biology, microbiology, physiology, and so on, it might also help to get these.

This book is a must for anyone who thinks learning basic anatomy is a boring chore. Excellent for anyone who memorises things visually. The mere time you spend coloring each plate makes you remember both the shape, name and location of bones, muscles etc. I really like the addition of more "joint" plates to this version.

Slight minus: The names are not in latin, which is the preferred anatomical language in some parts of the world. (In my case, Norway.)

I am in college-level beginning anatomy and the instructor was quizzing the class on terminology. He gave the definition or pointed to a body part and we had to shout out the answer. I knew all of the terms while my classmates struggled.

During break, my classmates asked how I knew/remembered this stuff. My answer? "The Anatomy Coloring Book." They blithely dismissed it as kid's stuff, a _coloring_ book. Well, that may be...but *I* know the material.

We bought this book for our daughter who was studying to become a Registered Massage Therapist. The anatomy portion of the program was daunting for her and most of her classmates. This book was referred to us by an Occupational Therapist who used it while she was in school. Through using the colouring of muscle groups, etc. as building blocks to learning a thousand little facts slowly and accurately, it really makes the study of anatomy easier. We recommend it for anyone who is studying anatomy.

the drawings have too many shadings and are too dense for actual colouring. and it seems to be geared to someone with some knowledge of anatomy already and doesn't take time to introduce things.

Actually much more than I needed for the yoga teacher training course and only really needed the muscles sections. Need good eyes as some very tiny detail. Good general info though along with the illustrations.

I bought this on sale on amazon because it was a required textbook for my yoga teacher training course
This is a wonderful book for understanding the bones, muscles, and terms for any student studying the topic
I did find there might have been some mistakes in the book in regards to colouring instructions
(Sometimes asks you to continue with same colours on one page but you turn to that page- and has nothing to do with the page your on)
Overall very good textbook
Therapeutic to colour- right!?

This is an awesome book. At first I thought it was useless because it seemed very complicated, but when you actually take the color in the anatomy that you need, this is perfect. The illustrations are very accurate and clear. It also has all the anatomy you would ever need. I didn't find a single anatomical portion of the human anatomy that I needed that wasn't available in the book. Definitely worth your money, buy it!
