Stretching Anatomy

by Arnold G. Nelson, Jouko Kokkonen, Jason M. McAlexander

Stretching Anatomy Overview

See inside every stretch—and maximize flexibility! Stretching Anatomy will arm you with the knowledge to increase range of motion, supplement training, enhance recovery, and maximize efficiency of movement. You'll also gain a detailed understanding of how each stretch affects your body.

Stretching Anatomy is like having an X-ray of each stretch, only better. Not only do you see full-color illustrations of the muscles in action, but you also find out how changes in position can alter the muscle emphasis and difficulty and how variations can improve safety and effectiveness.

Each exercise includes detailed instruction on how to stretch, when to stretch, primary and secondary muscle emphasis, and which muscles are activated for support. Stretching programs provide three levels of difficulty, including light stretching that can be used as a warm-up or to aid in recovery from soreness or injury. And summary movement tables show how to customize stretching programs to focus on key problem areas.

Whether it is increased flexibility or reduced muscle soreness or tension, Stretching Anatomy allows you to see and feel the benefit of proper stretching technique.

Stretching Anatomy Review

          I had a copy of this and ordered one for a gift and it was a success. It's a good book; informative and well presented.

Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain

by Blandine Calais-Germain

Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain Overview

           Anatomy of Movement presents a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body. In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines. In this newly-revised edition, a majority of the thousand-plus illustrations are new or have been modified by the author from the original edition. The text has also been updated, and the sequencing of the presentation of the musculoskeletal anatomy has been revised in part.

Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain Review

          This book is well written with good drawings to help reinforce the information she is providing. I think this an excellent resource for understanding the biomechanics of the body in a simple practical way.

          I bought this book after it was highly recommended to me for my medical school course (Molecular and Cellular Basis of Medicine). It has certainly been an invaluable resource and gives you just what you need to know. This is not a reference book, or even a textbook. It's a highly condensed, high-yield book for learning what's relevant and important. If you're a visual learner, this book contains quality diagrams that illustrate the material very well. I highly recommend this book!

          Derived from the classic text originated by Lubert Stryer and continued by John Tymoczko and Jeremy Berg, Biochemistry: A Short Course offers that bestseller's signature writing style and physiological emphasis, while focusing on the major topics taught in a one-semester biochemistry course.

Biochemistry: A Short Course Review

          This was a required text for my Biochem and related courses in Pharmacy school. This is an excellent text... sufficiently easy to read and concise. Chapters are short (most are 10-12 pages) so subject material is broken down well. Certainly recommend this book.

Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level

by Donald Voet, Judith G. Voet, Charlotte W. Pratt

Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level Overview

          Voet, Voet, and Pratt's Fundamentals of Biochemistry, challenges students to better understand the chemistry behind the biological structure and reactions occurring in living systems. The Third Edition continues this tradition, and additionally incorporates coverage of recent research and an expanded focus on preparing and supporting students throughout the course. With the addition of new conceptual assessment content to WileyPLUS (access to WileyPLUS not included), students have the opportunity to assess their conceptual understanding of key introductory biochemistry concepts and retrain themselves on their misconceptions.

Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level Review

          I received my textbook on time and in excellent (new) condition. Although it says "international" copy, the pages are exactly the same as the US version...except for the titles of some or all of the chapters and sections. The only thing I didn't know is that, although it was a "new" copy, it did not come with a WileyPlus registration code which I needed for my class. The seller is great!! I contacted them and they were very helpful and understanding and gave me no trouble. I would use them again and I would definitely recommend them!!!

This is the blue cover Sixth edition, 2006. You probably want the grey cover Seventh, Dec 2010.

An excellent tome that provides a great reference.

I also recommend
Pollard & Earnshaw, Cell Biology, which has very good graphic design; and
Clark & Russell, Molecular Biology made simple and fun, which uses prolific humor to keep the reader engaged.

The new edition features a whole new art program that is not only more visually dynamic and vibrant than in previous editions but is also much more pedagogically effective for today’s students, including new Focus figures, which guide you through the toughest concepts in A&P. The text has been edited to make it easier than ever to study from and navigate, with integrated objectives, new concept check questions, and a new design program.

Human Anatomy & Physiology, 8th Edition Review

It does what I thought it was going to do. I am currently taking A&P I and so far so good. I decided to purchase this new version since I also need it for A&P II but I could of saved a lot of money if I had just purchased the old version. They are exactly the same and my teacher allows it. Bummer....

But the product is great. It is understandable and to the point. The CD roms and the atlas that come with it are ok, but not neccessary, I guess if you need more practice. Just wish it wasnt so expensive!
