Editorial Reviews

"The Anatomy colouring and workbook is an admirable resource for students learning anatomy for the first time. As a first year physiotherapy student, I am finding this workbook an invaluable source. It integrates simplicity with detail throughout and it is an extremely useful study guide. The text is easy to read and not overwhelming, with an added bonus of humour attached. This workbook has fantastic features, starting with mnemonics and fun word plays, these memory devices have aided me in remembering difficult concepts. Other features include, colour in pictures, this to me is genius as it enabled me picture and locate muscles, nerves and bony points which is imperative in physiotherapy."Therese Tully, Physiotherapy student, University of Salford
