Anatomy Coloring Book, The (3rd Edition)

This was a GREAT purchase! I received it quickly and it was in top condition! Thank you very mcuh!

The Anatomy Coloring Book is very helpful in the learning process. Since this book is very detailed,students can more easily determine where our body parts are located.

I am a first time buyer and now im hooked. I am very pleased with the condition of the book and this is one of the books I needed to learn more about the body.

I had an extremely tough anatomy and physiology course in college. My professor taught at the docrate level, and was EXTREMELY thorugh. I'd heard from some, that a coloring book like this would help. The kid in me thought it would be a good way to relax some and learn. This book is excellent! Especially if you need to learn the arteries and veins. There are some pages I never did get colored in before my classes were up, but it was worth it for the ones I did complete (and I plan on coloring the other pages later). I am happy to say I passed my classes and now would recommend this book to others.

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.

This is the original anatomy coloring book and is leagues better than any of the others out these- those are poor imitations, in my opinion.

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 or microbiology again I would indeed purchase those- and I feel like buying the geography one just because I love maps and love the idea of the book.
