(  )ashleyweb7 | Mar 5, 2009 |   Different people have different learning styles and this is excellent for those who need to do more than just read about the subject. Coloring the pictures gives the student an insight into how the parts fit together and interact as well as providing a memory aid. It needs to be used as a study guide in order to get the most out of it- giving it your complete attention, even though it is "just" a coloring book. It works best with a large selection of very sharp colored pencils, not markers or crayons. It is suitable for some middle school students, but high school aged and above will get the most benefit from it. (  )Phoenix333 | Feb 12, 2009 | 2  For anyone studying human anatomy, this book is simply one of the best study guides out there. The illustrations are very clear and very detailed. The thing that makes this better than most study guides is that by coloring each page, the reader is much more involved in the studying of the body.

Wynn Kapit graduated in 1955 from the University of Miami, Florida with honors in Business Administration and Law. He then attended Art Center School in Los Angeles and worked in New York as a graphic designer and advertising art director from 1960-66. He moved to California to pursue a painting career and was given a one-man show at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco in 1968. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and received a Masters in Painting and worked as a portraitist and teacher of figure drawing. While taking a class in human anatomy at San Francisco City College, he discovered a way to effectively learn the subject by coloring in drawings, diagrams and names. The teacher of the course, Lawrence Elson, Ph.D. agreed to help him produce a coloring book. Elson wrote and Kapit designed and illustrated The Anatomy Coloring Book, which was published in 1977 and has been a widely-translated bestseller ever since. The Physiology Coloring Book was published in 1987, with the assistance of two professors from Berkeley: Robert Macey and Esmail Meisami. The Geography Coloring Book was published in 1991; Kapit drew the maps and wrote the text. The Anatomy Coloring Book was published in a second edition in 1993, and second editions of Geography and Physiology Coloring Books will be published in 1997.
