Book Reviews of Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition: A Basic Course in Bones, Muscles, and Joints
Book Review: Great Reference
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great reference book for us un-medical people. Great illustrations, simple explanations that didn't bog me down in medical terminalogy and med-speak.Book Review: Misleading Cover
Summary: 3 Stars
Unlike the cover the illustrations in the book are only black and white which makes it harder to visualize the course and attachments of muscles. Trying to color in the muscles was useless as the illustrations are too dark. This would be a 5 star book if the illustrations mtched the cover.Book Review: No Bones about it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Anatomy of the Moving Body is an excellent resource book for the student or the lay person wanting to better understand the body. The detail of the bones and muscles is well written and easy to follow. Diagrams are clear and explanations are good.Book Review: Written very clearly
Summary: 5 Stars
Some anatomy books seem as if they are written deliberately complicated. That's my take. Not this one. If you are just starting Massage Therapy classes. I highly recommend you get this book, in addition to your course required books. Read your required book chapters and then follow up with this one. He's not "trippin" on his "Dr" Dimon Jr. title. On the book cover he even leaves his "Dr" title out of his name, but he is a Dr.(a Harvard graduate). He presents the material in his book like a good instructor would in class....so you can understand. It's not written to show how smart he is. It is written so the person without knowledge of the musculoskeletal system can gain some. Actually, I think the book is a compilation of lectures he has given at the Dimon Institute. Yes, the "Dimon" Institute for the Alexander Technique in Cambridge. Don't miss out on a very knowledgeable author that knows how to convey his knowledge to other. Anatomy is anatomy, that doesn't change, but it's his presentation that is so good. Look at the price, very inexpensive compared to the 100.+ books you may be required to purchase. He really should charge more for his book.Book Review: engaging anatomy
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent book that provides a sensibly organized overview of human anatomy without the need to purchase anatomy books that could be used as doorstops. I would highly recommend this for teachers and practitioners of yoga, Pilates, dance,martial arts and other such activities.
