Great shape/shipped out quickly I needed this book for a class. It was shipped out in a timely fashion and the book was like new. | ||
Fantabulous! Absolutely wonderful book for any bodywork/ or A/P student. Easy to understand, clearly pictured & grouped for quick reference. Have to agree w/other reviewers' that this is one of the best books for learning the human body. Sketches show instertions/origins and is written in an easy to understand format. Muscles/bones are "highlighted" w/in the body, making it easy to envision the location. Flash cards are very helpful too. Found it better than my $200 college text : ) | ||
Wonderfull!! Once again had no issues with delivery, was absolutely satisfied and hope you all have the same experience. | ||
Trail Guide to the body This is the most comprehensive anatomy book I have used. Clear diagrams and descriptions makes it a must for all students. | ||
Great learning tool and locator; some illustrations misleading The Trail Guide is a great book to use when learning about muscle and bony landmarks for locating and palpating the muscles. However, it can be confusing sometimes because the illustrations do not always match the text, particularly when dealing with specific numbered vertebrae. It would be a better tool if either the text became more generic (such as "upper lumbar" or "lower cervical") rather than specific numbered vertebrae when this may differ from person to person, or if the illustrations were updated to match the text if they are consistently on those numbered vertebrae for the vast majority of people. Otherwise, great step by step instructions and mostly the illustrations are extremely helpful. | ||
