Customer Reviews

8 out of 10 ITEC A&P students preferred it
I teach the ITEC A&P qualification and know only too well how difficult it is to find a text book written at the level required to support the course and syllabus (A level).

I have used the Louise Tucker book for the last four years but it lacks decent illustrations and contains a shocking number of mistakes, even after a trillion editions - its biggest critism.

However I aim to use this book for the next academic year, after I discovered it too late for this year's students. It is written in a simple easy-to-read manner with plenty of activities such as labelling diagrams, which may seem a bit 'play school' to some, but are a proven technique to successful learning and retention of information. It may not fully support the ITEC syllabus but neither does any other text book.

A useful book for anyone studying ITEC or wishing to self-educate on the workings of the human body.

Great book - a good foundation for your A&P library
I am studying Aromatherapy and Massage and found this book helped me get through the A&P modules successfully. It is clear, concise with very helpful diagrams and 'colouring' workpages to reinforce information you have just read. I found it invaluable as a reference point and it made it much easier to approach other more 'technical' A&P textbooks as it gives you a basic but solid understanding. Well worth adding to the library, particularly if you are studying holistic therapies.

A&P guide
This is a good book for Holistic therapists. I use it in conjunction with Louise Tucker: An Intor to A & P and Ross & Wilson 10th Ed A&P and Tortora "the Bible" on A & P with online interactive flash test etc. Half way through the course and have read every book so far and use them all in conjunction in order to get the best overview of A & P as some aspects are not covered in as much detail in Francesca Gould's book as others. Worth buying to add to the library!
