Review

This book is ideal for therapists from any dicipline in the FHT membership. From the first page I was hooked ... The book is very well presented and I feel is not only a useful tool for students and lecturers, but could also be used as a guide for practising therapists.

Customer Reviews

Best A&P Book I bought
I am currently studying in complementary Therapies and have needed a book for the Anatomy & Physiology. I read many reviews on Amazon and was initially put off of this book and ended up buying a couple of others. Whilst the others were ok, by chance I later picked this book up in a booksellers and ended up buying it. I have found that it is the best book that I have invested in and only wish I had got it first. This has taught me a lesson to always have a look at things before making a decision based on reviews, as it could save you money. All in all, very pleased with my purchase of this book.

Most helpful book for my studies
I have used this book as part of my course work along with several other anatomy books and found it to be the most beneficial. This book provides clear, concise and easy to understand information, I found it very refreshing and enjoyable to study with as opposed to other Anatomy books, which I found labourious. I would highly recommend this book as it has been extremely helpful.

Confusing and full of mistakes.
I am currently using this book as part of my IIHHT course work in holistic studies and can honestly say I have never come across a more confusing badly written book anywhere. I am working on the digestive system and have just read that the sublingual glands are in the roof of the mouth. This is not the first time I have read such drivel in this book, many of the descriptions are confusing and I must have noted at least 25 major typos including the wrong spelling of anatomical structures. Avoid this book if you seriously want to learn A&P.
