The Complete Human Body: The Definitive Visual Guide (DK Human Body Guides)

Professor Roberts has produced a text which will cover the demands of students and professionals with regard to he study of human anatomy. It is large format and has high definition sketches, photographs and illustrations. Bought for my grandson training to be a physiotherapist, it may be too much information, particularly in year one, but it continue to be of use throughout his career. Highly recommended.

Fantastic book has everything in it I needed to help me pass my course

I have no formal human biology education past 16 but I do have an interest in learning more about it and often find myself reading up on various things. It's really nice to have a book that gives a more complete and coherent view than cherry picking random Wikipedia articles When researching elsewhere I often find myself in too deep with medical terminology in order to get the information I want, or it's just not possible for me to find (the name of a muscle, for example). This book is very clear and easy to understand with good diagrams and I like the organisation. It presents things at a high enough level to keep me satisfied without getting too complex for my knowledge level. I feel that it would suit a range of audiences e.g. good for children and adults without being too difficult or condescending to either. Occasionally I find myself wanting more detail about things but I think that overall it does well on this front.

This book is amazing quality so I feel that the price is somewhat justified. It is quite a large, thick book with lot's of detail and beautiful colourful illustrations. This will be fantastic for somebody who is interested in learning foundation/intermediate level knowledge about the human body but may not be suitable for somebody who requires more in depth advanced level information. I really like it though and highly recommend it.

The moment you handle this book you will be surprised at its weight and you immediately get excited and the amount of content it must have inside. When you open it up and do your first quick scan you will find it hard to just flick fast through the pages as the amazing color illustrations grasp your attention. If your looking to learn a little or a lot about the human body and anatomy then this book is very appealing, especially for those of you that appreciate highly detailed illustrations that really get that visual memory up and running. I would say that this is suitable for family, young and old and even those studying around A-level biology or human anatomy and physiology, with a layout that is clean and concise which is very helpful if you looking for something packed with information that doesn't have over crowded content. Enjoy. Arran Lewis

Started a Podiatry course in September and so needed a decent anatomy book illustrating bones/blood vessels/nerves etc. Came across this book in my local library (brand new/first lender) and found the computerized imagary/illustrations brilliant and clear. It doesn't show every detail (e.g. not all the foot muscles are shown or listed - hence 4 stars rather than 5) but for general anatomy I think its great. I kept renewing the book for 3 months and decided to purchase it! And I'm not big on buying books.....recommendation enough I think.

Hadn't realised it would be quite that big and heavy, but wonderful reference book for diving into detailed areas of the body. The only thing I would have liked and it probably wasn't appropriate for this book was to be able to 'pan out' a bit more sometimes to see how the bits joined up! For example, following the path of the vagus nerve, but that probably needs a different book. There is a lot to learn about the body and it is all fascinating. This is a wonderful pictorial start!

I bought this book because I needed to study anatomy for my foundation degree in Sport and Exercise Science and was needed something to study anatomy and physiology. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised , for the price to it covers everything I needed to learn but so much more! It is like the human bible. Studying now is so much more fun! Also it is easy to undertand , highly recommended.

英米のAmazonで一部を御覧になれるように、イラストはとても美しい。 一般向けの解剖学書では主に内臓を扱ったものをしばしば見ますが、本書では筋骨格系や血管系にもかなりのページが割かれています。 本文も分量が多く、病気についても結構詳しい記述が載っています。 ただ、どうも詰めが甘いようで、絵の細部や本文の説明で疑問に感じる部分が少なくありません。イラストと説明文が一致していない部分も散見します。

Hard to use on ereader print is very small

de belles illustration bien faite et commentée juste ce qu'il faut, on veut toujours en découvrir d'avantage

Other reviews noted that in the Kindle edition text was too small to read. A work around is to use the Windows snip tool (windows key Shift S) to capture a page. Then you can magnify the page in the snip tool using Ctl++. You can get amazing detail by doing this. The illustrations are very good & in the magnified views you can see a great level of detail.

I am very happy :) I didn't expect that it would be such an amazing book. I expected it would be great, but this is actually more than great. Honestly, it's the best medicine book I have ever bought and the price is really cheap. I highly recommend it.
