Book Reviews of The Magic Anatomy Book
Book Review: Best Anatomy book ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book new around 20 years ago to read to my daughter. She didn't go into medicine, but she now knows more about the body than most med students. About 10 years ago I bought a used copy for my son so he can have one for his kids too.
I made reading this book mandatory reading for High School Biology. There is enough information in this book to pass beginning college-level courses.
While reading this book you will be able to picture terms like epiglottis, inferior vena caba, tricuspid valve, fovea, axon, white blood cells, neurons, adrenals, mitochondria, lysosomes, and the ever-memorable mitosis and macrophage. This book is worth buying for the artwork, but the story ties it all together and makes you remember the science due to the cliff-hangers and artwork.
There are a couple of pages of the book that teach evolution; I skip those pages when I read the book.
I wish this book would go back into print. I would buy another copy, even though I already own two.
