Review of Acupressure Laminated Reference Guide (Quick Study Academic Outline) (Pamphlet)

Guide is a CHART which is great for posting on wall and which is nicely LAMINATED -but - a bit of a mis nomer to call a CHART a paperback.I was expecting a BOOK for this much money and got a chart.

Review of Essential Clinical Anatomy (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)

I still have yet to find the ultimate text for use with anatomy.The Moore volume is probably the best to use as your main text when taking either undergrad anatomy or gross.As with any anatomy text - you will always need supplemental resources - esp. if you are taking gross anatomy.The selection that I had always found useful in the past was the triple combo of Moore's text, Grant's dissector, and Netter's Atlas.With these three you have essentially everything you need for taking gross anatomy - the embryology texts that are usually used for gross anatomy vary, but often contain the same exact info - I feel that is a more individual choice.
I find the Moore text to be very concise - drawings are clear and well labled - good discussion questions at the end of chapters - and the book is very well laid out, esp. in the always intense "head and neck".I highly recommend this volume.

Review of Dog Breeds: An Illustrated Guide (Paperback)

I initially saw this book at my Veterinarian's office in San Diego and was very impressed by it. I took down the publisher's name and address

During my last visit there with my two Keeshonden, I was disappointed to learn that it had been thrown away due to other customers' overuse/abuse?!

The Vet Techs also said that when they tried to reorder it, they learned that it had been discontinued. Utilizing my previous information, I tracked it down to Amazon and was delighted to be able to order it at a really good price.

This beautifully drawn and printed book now resides on my family room cocktail table to be enjoyed by all my guests.

Thank you Amazon.

Dr. Acland made it a priority in his life to produce an educational tool for students of anatomy that was affordable on a student's budget.

Review of Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body (Hardcover)

One of the first things that one realizes during anatomy lab is that the paintings in your textbook don't really reflect the reality of an embalmed corpse. Arteries are not conveniently painted bright red, nor are nerves colored a nice polite yellow.
The Color Atlas of Anatomy does a fantastic job of helping one translate the color drawings from the big anatomy textbooks into the lab by providing high-quality labelled photos of model dissections by expert anatomists. Think you have the hypogastric nerve in your abdomenal wall but aren't too sure what it's supposed to look like? My partner and I were in just that position and the Color Atlas helped us go from the idealized material of our lecture notes and Netter's Atlas to realities of our cadaver.
In addition to the photos, I found the schematic drawings to be a nice way to keep in mind the general organization of basic membranes and organs in the body, and the MR and X-Ray scans were useful as well in learning how to read radiograms and MRI images. This book does a great job of teaching you what anatomic specimens really look like, and help you appreciate the great beauty and elegance of the human body.

Review of An Illustrated Adventure in Human Anatomy: Blueprints for Health, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

We got a copy of this book following a visit to the "Bodies Exhibition". My six year old specifically chose this book at the gift shop instead of another that was designed for children his age and younger. When I asked him why, he told me that the illustrations were more realistic and detailed, and there was a lot more information he could soak up (he reads quite well). The writing is accessible and straightforward. My son pulls this book out of the shelf regularly, and continues to do so months after we bought it. Given my son's continued interest in human anatomy and in this book in particular, I must say that this is an excellent reference and has been the launching point for numerous discussions about human anatomy. My son highly recommends it, and so do I.
