What Are You Looking For? - By: Ms. Z. L. Waller, 28 Nov 2007 
I bought this book as I am studying complimentary therapies & anatomy & physiology is a big component. My intention was for it to be as an extra study aid but I think that I would have preferred something that offered a little more.
The book is okay & does what it says. If you are studying the muscular system & you need to know a large amount of inofrmation, look for something else.
Very handy little book - By: , 11 Aug 2005 
Just bought this book as a quick reference for when giving massages & I am not disappointed. It is very handy to use & the spiral binding is excellent & very adequate for the type of book this is as i can leave it open flat while massaging & don't have to fiddle with it continuously.
It does just what it says, but of course doesn't replace the bigger more detailed/thorough books on muscles & anatomy.
This book is for taking with you when you're out & about & can't /don't want to take the bigger books.
Great quick reference guide.
A little handy primer - By: Darren Koh, 09 Jan 2005 
This book is a great handy primer for those on anatomy & physiology courses who need something to carry around with them as they learn the muscular-skeletal system of the body.
The big plus for this book is the comb binding which allows the book to be opened flat, or worse, folded over.
The artwork is clear, & covers the major muscles & bones, with additional tables setting out the origins & insertions, & the origins of ennervating nerves.
In short, a good buy.
New edition *with corrections* superb for students - By: A. Cruickshank, 27 Mar 2003 The new edition of this little book has all the mistakes corrected which marred the last edition. This makes it the most useful, portable booklet I have seen. It covers trunk & limbs systematically with clear illustrations of the bones & ligaments first, then the musclesin their different layers. It also contains charts of muscles, origins, insertions, innervation & function for each of the muscles by area. Further short sections on joints, posture & movement patterns, types of muscle contraction & muscle fibre types, nerve supply, energy systems & common types of injury make this book invaluable.
Definitely one forthe students - By: , 04 Dec 2002 As a teacher of Body Massage, Beauty Therapy & Holistic Therapies at a further education college, I feel this book offers, clear, colourful pictures, easy understanding of how the body moves, allin a neat & moderately priced book. This is a useful & quick teaching aid that the majority of my students have found(on recommendation) useful - I should be on commission!!
