Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit (Paperback)

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.
