Format:Paperback
The great thing about this book is that it has been constructed with an understanding of what the learner needs. It is not just another text-book, full of words, plus a few added illustrations. It has been thought out, and literally constructed by an author who knows how to present material for students to learn.

Great Ways to Learn Anatomy and Physiology (Palgrave Study Skills)
At long last - an innovative book on how to learn basic Anatomy and Physiology that offers solutions which make studying this subject both fun, fascinating and easy! I teach A&P to Holistic Therapy students and this is the first book (believe me, I have tried several) that acknowledges how tough it can be to study. Students are often overwhelmed by the thousands of facts, numbers, spellings and diagrams they are expected to remember - whether from a book or using websites or both. This excellent book uses proven methods based on the 10 most effective strategies which help students learn to help them grasp the subject more easily and make learning more enjoyable. The book claims to be highly visual, offer memory techniques, confidence boosters, stress-busters and time-saving devices. It more than fulfills these claims - and it includes a supportive back-up system to be used alongside textbooks and lecture notes. I do hope the author puts her unique and amazing talents to publishing more books on a variety of subjects to help struggling learners.

My old Maths teacher had a mnemonic for trigonometry: Old Hands Always Help Other Aviators (the initial letters denoting opposite over hypotenuse, adjacent over hypotenuse etc.), and the mere fact I can instantly recall it 35 years on from my Maths lessons is proof positive that menemonics tend to stick around for life.
This book has some equally memorable mnemonics for otherwise tricky bits of learning, e.g.'Sensible Lovers Take Precautions They Think Can Help', to help recall names of wrist bones in their correct order. Brilliant!
Anyone who loves aids to remembering, fun short-cuts and clever connections will really appreciate this book --- which I heartily recommend to the busy student needing to know about Anatomy and Physiology but who has lots of other things going on in their lives. It's a compendium of learning tools which we can readily take up and put into practice.
I found the book a bit like a loyal friend, someone on your side, who's supporting you and believing in you...moreover, a friend who likes to comes out with humorous bursts of wisdom from time to time, such as the comparison between the tortoise and the hare. "The tortoise went slowly and surely, and got a distinction in its A & P exam." Like a friend, the book gives the reader constant re-assurance he's going to succeed and get through.
The story of the Blood Brothers to explain how a heart works, I especially liked. Cleverly written and thought out, and proof that learning technical concepts can be a genuinely fun process.
There is ample sound practical advice here for students of all ages and all aptitudes. In fact, the student of A. & P. probably can't do without it.
