Self evident. It is a book of information

I was recommended by my colleague.This book is a great reference book for a massage therapist.Very speedy delivery too.

A thoroughly detailed book

Back in 2001 Dorling Kindersley produced an excellent little book, Human Body: An Illustrated Guide To Every Part Of The Human Body And How It Works , a tad smaller than this 'The Concise Human Body' Book but 448 pages as opposed to the 320 of this. Both edited by Ann Baggaley, both Dorling Kindersley publications. I can only assume that this equally beautifully illustrated, but somewhat glossier, is regarded as the successor to the sadly out of print 2001.Personally, I feel VERY sad that the earlier book is no longer available outside 'used' at a reasonable price. Had I not been in possession of the earlier book, I might have 5 starred this, it is indeed visually stunning (a hallmark of DKs house style) but the text is less clearly written and to some extent illustrations a little less clear - the earlier book imaginatively colours the various small bones in the hand and foot for example (like Netter, using colour to help imprint memory) And the earlier book flows better in the writing. This is a little drier.It IS an excellent 'adjunct' book to a more intensive AP + P book (such as Tortorra) for students needing greater depth than these 'Introduction' books can provide, but it is not quite as brilliantly clear in its visuals and its descriptions as the earlier one. I would continue to recommend the 2001 book over this one as an AP + P Primer text to help unpick the depth books - as long as a reasonably priced, not too dreadfully mishandled copy exists.

I normally read thriller books and only that. Recently I’ve broadened my reading pallet and decided to learn more.This book was extremely insightful and is a brilliant reference tool to go back to. Well priced as well which is always a bonus.

the quality of this book is very good, sturdy and well printed. the book is small in size which is great as most of my textbooks are heavy. There are 320 pages in this book and they are packed with vital information is small print and very detailed diagrams. I'm surprised how much information was possible to get into this book, very impressive. id recommend this for anyone starting their career in the field, a student who would like further information or a handy reference or anyone interested in furthering their knowledge.Arrived in perfect condition and quickly.

Good quality

Very informative with in detail photos and explanations useful for medical and healthcare students
