I received the 2nd ed. of this book in massage school.
I purchased the 3rd ed. to study for my National test.
WOW! I truly did not think this book could have gotten any better, but it DID! It shows all different views of muscles, muscle groups, bones, boney landmarks, how to find boney landmarks to find muscles, latin/greek roots of the words, study hints, remembering devices, WONDERFUL illustrations!
I also purchased the Student Workbook - which is an ENTIRELY new text with this edition - and it has a lot of different ways to test yourself to prepare for tests.
If you need to know ANYTHING relating to the muscles/bones of the body, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Don't let the cost fool you ... it is NOT overpriced. I used to think it was (when I found out how much it was by itself - my 2nd ed. was included with my tuition at school), until I bought this new edition.
They added an obscene amount of new pages, and updated their illustrations to make them even EASIER to understand.
If you have any doubts about this book, log on to the publishers website discoverybooks . com - there are excerpts, downloadable pages, etc.
Hope this helps.

Finally, a palpatory anatomy book that speaks TO you instead of talking AT you! This is the kind of book that students put aside all other anatomy books for because it is a self teaching text. It directly teaches you how to become adept at feeling for and finding structures on the body. In the realm of being a manual therapist, the more you can teach your hands to "see", "feel", and know structures, the more skilled and effective you are. This book is excellent for those who want to be able to have confidence in doing this, and have fun learning anatomy!
