Excellent Resource.......2006-11-25
I think this book was the difference between an A and a B. I liked that it was quick, to the point and relevant.
Definitely worth the money!.......2005-02-09
So what if it's $45? This study guide focuses on what you need to know and gives you a very good idea of what's going to be on the exams. It's more than worth the money!
Helped me get an "A" in A&P.......2003-12-16
I found this book to be very helpful, especially when used with Volume I. I quizzed myself with his questions and answers after I read a chapter, and usually found that I didn't understand a section deeply enough. I'd much rather get questions wrong before the test than during! Many of the questions on the test were very similar to his questions. I'd recommend this Volume & also Volume 1 if you are looking for good grades for A&P. You can't do wrong by learning from a former professor of A&P!
Awesome Study Guide.......2003-03-27
I found this book to be great for helping me get an "A" in my anatomy and physiology class in college. It's to the point and focused on key topics. It helped me focus on the type of questions that my teacher asked on my final. Thanks Dr. Leonardi for writing this book. This book is a must buy for any undergraduate A and P student, massage therapy student, or anyone wanting to know more about anatomy and physiology. I also used Volume 1 (ISBN: 0971999619) also sold on amazon. Both books helped me to get excellent grades in my A and P class.

Customer Reviews:
This a very GOOD book to learn every bone and muscle!!!.......2007-09-14
This a very GOOD book to learn every bone and muscle!!! I really enjoyed it. It helped me learned everything I need to know about the bones and musxle structure. I recommend it to anyone. It's a very helpful book.
Great!!! Simple Yet Comprehensive Of The Topic At Hand!!.......2007-04-04
I found that this book was perfect in broadening my knowledge of the human body, more specifically the skeletal system and muscles. It managed to explain the way muscles worked and functioned in a simple manner so that I could fully understand everything that was being said, despite having no University background. It's helped me in the area that I needed it for and that is a better understanding of how my body operates during the strenuous physical activity in my fitness regime and weight routine. It enabled me to improve each activity I performed in some way or another and made me aware of the specific muscles being targetted during my weight sessions.
Great buy and definately worth every penny.
Joe has done it again!.......2006-09-08
Joseph Muscolino has written a text which takes the Kinesiological depth of experts like Neumann and Oatis and has brought the necessary concepts into a practical focus for massage therapists, as well as other allied health professionals. Rather than write from the vantage point of a lecturer's podium, Joe has taken the inquisitiveness of students and woven a text which answers their questions before they are asked. Our school, The Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy, strives to make the sciences more accessible to students while maintaining a high level of academic excellence. Joe has gifted our school and the profession with a visual and scholarly delight which fulfills that quest. When considering the melding of thoroughness and user friendliness, in some respect, he could have subtitled the text "Everything You Wanted To Know About Kinesiology But Were Afraid To Ask". For the student, concepts which appear to be confusing and out of reach come into razor sharp focus. For the licensed practitioner, the illustrations and explanations support the science behind the art and offer illustrations which provide clarity in discussions with clients. For teachers, the publisher's Evolve ancillaries offer images from the text as well as other thoughtfully considered classroom tools which complement this fine work. As Chair of the Health Sciences Department, I heartily recommend this text to anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge base in a practical, lucid manner.
Excellent study aid.......2006-07-02
As a massage therapy student completely new to the world of bodywork, this book is an excellent study companion. Every part of this book is helpful, even down to chapter outlines, key terms and word origins at the beginning of each chapter and review questions at the end. The layout is such that it is easy to read and digest the information without losing focus (an absolute must with the nature of this subject). There are additional information boxes throughout which really help to reinforce the concepts being taught. The pictures and photos are very clear and I found the chapter on bones essential as an aid to learning names and landmarks. There is a web site link for additional learning resources and answers to the review questions. This book has been very well thought out, written and presented and nothing has been left out. I wouldn't be without it.
Book Description
Anatomy and physiology, a key part of the core curriculum in surgical technology, is the central basic science course around which the knowledge of surgical technology revolves. However, most conventional A&P books do not cover the surgical aspects of anatomy and physiology that the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology requires. Surgical Anatomy and Physiology for the Surgical Technologist provides the basic concepts of A&P and applies them to practical surgery. Throughout the book, examples show how the anatomy and physiology of a particular body system or organ relates to a surgical procedure. This resource includes case studies, review questions, key terms, objectives for each chapter, and information boxes that tie specific anatomical elements to surgical practice. This book meets the requirements of the current edition of the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology.
Book Description
The latest edition of this well organised and authoritative book provides a comprehensive account of the mechanics of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Covering the key areas including the properties of biomaterials, common measuring techniques and modelling,
Biomechanics of the Musculo-skeletal System, Third Edition also integrates historical aspects thus building a bridge between old and familiar knowledge and the latest developments in biomechanics. As with the previous edition there are numerous applications and extensive questions and answers at the end of sections. Specific changes for this edition include:
- Major revision of the section on biological materials including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, muscle and joints and new discussion of failure and healing
- Extensive updating of material covering force, pressure distribution, optical methods and simulation
- Increase in the number and type of applications across a broad range of disciplines
Biomechanics of the Musculo-skeletal System, Third Edition is an invaluable resource for all students, professionals and researchers concerned with biomechanical aspects of the human or animal body.
Customer Reviews:
A excellent work again!.......2000-05-25
Dr. Nigg and Dr. Herzog complete their excellent work again!
As their previous work, the second edition of this textbook presents a comprehensive survey of biomechanics in musculoskeletal system. I recommand it to all serious students who want to realize the fundamental knowledge about the mechanics of bone, muscle, and human movement.
Book Description
The Atlas of Musculoskeletal Anatomy is the complete reference guide for students and practitioners of anatomy, massage, physical therapy, chiropractics, medicine, and physiotherapy. Designed for use in conjunction with The Concise Book of Muscles, the book includes detailed color illustrations of every skeletal muscle, joint, and bone in the body, including main anatomical features. Written in clear, accessible prose, the book offers a wealth of knowledge to the lay reader, the aficionado, or the practitioner.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2005-12-06
I am just finishing up a semester of undergraduate nursing/pre-OT anatomy and found this book to be an excellent resource, especially for the muscles. For most muscle groups Jarmey has an illustration of each individual muscle along with its relationship to neighboring muscles. This was very helpful in preparing for the lab practical (got an A!). I purchased this book and not Jarmey's Concise Guide to Muscles because the Concise Guide did not cover all muscles I was required to know.
This book exudes quality.......2004-12-16
I have recently acquired the Atlas of Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy as a teaching aid and reference book. I have a number of such books, but this one stands out from the crowd. The clarity of information, both visual and textual, is outstanding. There are very few anatomy books that I would consider a good bedtime reading, but this is one of them (actually, the only one!).
Everything about this book exudes quality: what it says; how it says it; what it shows; how it shows it; the paper; and the cover. Truly a work of art and inspiration. Also, I found the extra information on body mechanics a welcome bonus.

The Muscle Energy Manual - A Must.......2000-02-29
This manual, one of a series of three, is, like the entire series, an example of scholarly work usually not encountered with many other manuals or textbooks that deal with an individual manual medicine technique or a compilation thereof. The organization of the series is excellent, well and insightfully written, and superbly illustrated. It serves equally as a reference text, instruction manual, and a hands-on book, both for the novice in the field and the "old hands." In summary, this book and the rest of the entire series, is the definitive text of osteopathic muscle energy techniques and approaches written by an expert and his well educated team. It should be not only on every serious practitioner's bookshelf, it should be on the center shelf. A gem for years to come, setting the standard.
Book Description
* An entirely practical handbook for healthcare professionals * Introduces the orthodox therapist to hands- on techniques in acupressure & reflextherapy * Offers additional treatment options for conditions involving musculoskeletal problems
Customer Reviews:
THE Top Book of it's kind...........2006-06-23
This book is one of the most excellent texts of it's kind. While providing sound and applicable information for the professional, it also is infinately readable for self help. Dr. Cross is amazingly generous with his information. His writing style in interesting and clear. As someone who has studied a wide range of alternative medical practices, I really appreciate Dr. Cross's ability to boil down huge amounts of information into very practical and usable applications. All of his books are a must for someone seriously interested in bringing the maximum to their health care practice.

Acupressure: Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Condi.......2000-04-04
Excellent presentation of Acupressure and the practical applications associated with Acupressure. Emphasis placed on how the art relates to Western medicine. Information is presented in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand manner that covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques used by the "masters". Highly useful and recommended as a resource for those involved in the allied health professions or the lay-person with an interest in Acupressure.
Book Description

The Skeletal System.......2004-11-28
Seymour Simon provides us with more insight into the body's systems. I learned a lot from reading this book on bones and I highly recommend it for fourth graders on up. A student can learn a lot more from this book than a paragraph in a textbook. Have fun and enjoy.
A teacher says..........2000-10-03
As usual, Seymour Simon does some great work on showing children (and some teachers) the ins and outs of the human body. The easy to understand language and great photos make this a science teacher's must have!
