I used this book with a 5 week course in Human Anatomy and found it to be one of the more effective study tools. Reading the material, coloring the structures and really paying attention to how they all go together absolutely reinforces learning by bringing together several senses- reading, visual, tactile, motor- and yes, even verbal since I talked to myself about what I was doing. Exceptionally helpful, even along with an excellent color atlas, models used in class and cadaver study. I'd recommend purchasing high quality colored pencils to do the coloring- something like Berol prismacolor or Spectracolor. Markers are too liquid, the color too uniform and the paper too porous to get the clarity needed to understand the edges of the structures. This isn't to say the paper is poor quality- it isn't. It just takes ink too well for the purpose needed to really learn the material. I'm purchasing a second copy of this to use to provide instruction to a freshman in high school who has requested I teach anatomy to her. If I were taking physiology again I would indeed purchase the physiology book- and I feel like buying the geography one just because I love maps and love the idea of the book.
This book also took a while to arrive at the house. I am guessing it had something to do with the floods in New Jersey a few weeks ago. When the book arrived I discovered it was a great tool for learning the muscles and skeleton of the body. It was also fun because I got to go back to being a kid for a few minutes and was able to color.

- How accurate was the on site description of the product? It was very accurate.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The book arrived at my house free of defects, bumps, dents and scratches.
Learning anatomy takes time, and this book guarantees you spend time coloring each muscle fiber, bone fragment, and nerve structure in the body. It's especially good for someone new to anatomy.
Have difficulty reading script chapter titles. It's not written in regular script
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR 10TH GRADE ANATOMY CLASS ITS VERY DETAILED AND IS HELPFUL IN LEARNING...
the book came in great condition and i was very pleased. Overstock is a great online store.
