(Hide Review...)  Great as a supplement for biology courses
Reviewer Permalink
I enjoyed this book tremendously. If you're a student taking a biology course, it is perfect for review and helps solidify concepts.

Look over the table of contents and see if it correlates well with your studies.

My suggestion is to never color directly in the book. Just make copies and color on those. This also allows you to color in marker, giving you brighter colors that stand out.

(Hide Review...)  Best coloring
Reviewer Permalink
As an A&P teacher, I find that students who use this physiology coloring book get it faster and retain the info longer than any other. It is much more accurate than other physiology coloring books. Highly recommended!

The coloring book is extremely helpful. There were some aspects of Physiology that I was having a difficult time grasping simply reading material from text books and listening to lectures, the coloring book has made understanding many concepts "childs play". I highly recommend this as a supplement to any anatomy/physiology (or even biology) course.

Used copy,i will not purchase another used copy coloring book. The book is in good condition but it would have been better new and not to have pages colored by someone else.

(Hide Review...)  CANNOT BE USED WITH FELT PENS (AS SHOWN ON COVER)
Reviewer Permalink
I have the Anatomy coloring book and absolutely love the series. I use felt pens (the type of pen shown on the cover of both books) and they work perfectly in the anatomy book because *the back of every page is blank*.

I don't know why, but they made a MAJOR error in the Physiology coloring book by printing on both sides of the page. As soon as you color one page with felt tip pens, you will see that it leaks through and destroys the other side. This is such a basic element of the book that I don't understand why it was overlooked.

(Hide Review...)  great way to learn
Reviewer Permalink
Super way to learn difficult concepts. I find myself learning in spite of myself. Its really built my confidence too because I have learned that if I stick with the subject long enough, I can get it.

(Hide Review...)  I luv the fundamental idea of this book.
Reviewer Permalink
Speaking for myself, I have come to view that the act of coloring does in fact foster retention and understanding. This book really does make learning fun. However, I am surprised that this is the 2nd Edition. This book is in dire need of careful proofreading. I am not qualified to say that there are fundamental errors of physiological facts (this is why I purchased the book) but I have found many many "slip of the pen" type of errors. The least bothersome are a myriad of spelling errors. There are some points where sentences are abruptly cut before completion. Common sense does There are several instances where it is unclear what part is what. Some of these mistakes can not be overcome with common sense making the lesson of the plate very difficult to understand.

P.S. The observant reader will have noticed that I abruptly cut a sentence midway through.

(Hide Review...)  Great way to learn!!
Reviewer Permalink
As you are coloring you are going over the terms. When you are done you can see at a glance how the 'terms' are situated and what they are doing. The commentary is also very thorough and helpful. I highly recommend this as a supportive learning method for the subject.

(Hide Review...)  Also Great for Veterinary Medicine!
Reviewer Permalink
I am a second year vet student. It is often difficult to find extra-helpful books for vet med, so we have to try human med books. This one is excellent and most of the information applies! My friends were arguing about who would get to use this book next! The authors state the information in such a clear cut way that we end up wondering why our instructors make it so complicated! (ie: Atrial Fibrillation: "Anarchy in the heart!")

I found this book hard to read. The print is small and there is alot of it where I think it could have maybe been condensed. Also the relationship between the writing and the pictures was not clear. I like a book that refers to the organ or part of the organ and then tells you to color it. I learn better this way. However, this is the only physiology coloring book that I could find so I was definitely able to make use of it.

(Hide Review...)  visual learners best friend
Reviewer Permalink
As a visual learner studying in the science/maths field, and being an English/Arts major, I found this book incredible helpful in making the basic and more complex areas of physiology concrete in my mind. This in turn has helped me do well in my exams. Worth a read if you're interested in physiology.

(Hide Review...)  This is a great way to go to help in learning physiology
Reviewer Permalink
This is a wonderful aid in learning physiology. Physiology is one of the hardest subjects to learn, but this visual learning aid makes it easier. I used this book to help me with my anatomy and physiology classes in college. I also highly recommend Tortora's Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Tortora is a very good author who can explain difficult concepts in an understandable way. For direct test preparation, these are a must--- Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 1) and (Volume 2) by Patrick Leonardi. These study guides had similar questions that were asked on my college exams. If you want to get good grades, then definitely get these four books.

This is a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone taking a microbiology class either in undergrad or med school. Since most people are visual learners this books is quite valuable. I also used the following book:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
ISBN: 0971999635
This book is also available. I found this study guide to be very on target on the type of questions that were on my microbiology class in med school. Definitely get both books.

(Hide Review...)  It makes your life very simple... and easy
Reviewer Permalink
Don't be fooled by the title, this book in fact will colour up your life. The diagrams are easy to read, and the explanations in each page are wonderful. You will understand difficult concepts with very good cartoons that will be flashing before your eyes, at the test (I loved the explanation about Hb). Don't wait more and buy it. Use it after you've read your big book and the facts will be kept long time in your mind. Wonderful! Hooray for it!

(Hide Review...)  This book has become a classic tool to learn physiology!
Reviewer Permalink
This book reaffirms the adage: Never judge a book by its cover, (or by its title!) This excellent work makes it easy to understand complex structures and functions in physiology. I have used it as a supplementary text for students ranging from 10th grade to graduate students in biomedical engineering. However, color, the reader must, to get full benefit from the book! It has become a classic tool to learn physiology in an entertaining, yet accurate and reliable way. A brilliant idea!
