 8 out of 10 ITEC A&P students preferred it June 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I teach the ITEC A&P qualification and know only too well how difficult it is to find a text book written at the level required to support the course and syllabus (A level).
I have used the Louise Tucker book for the last four years but it lacks decent illustrations and contains a shocking number of mistakes, even after a trillion editions - its biggest critism.
However I aim to use this book for the next academic year, after I discovered it too late for this year's students. It is written in a simple easy-to-read manner with plenty of activities such as labelling diagrams, which may seem a bit 'play school' to some, but are a proven technique to successful learning and retention of information. It may not fully support the ITEC syllabus but neither does any other text book.
A useful book for anyone studying ITEC or wishing to self-educate on the workings of the human body.
Great book - a good foundation for your A&P library March 31, 2007

I am studying Aromatherapy and Massage and found this book helped me get through the A&P modules successfully. It is clear, concise with very helpful diagrams and 'colouring' workpages to reinforce information you have just read. I found it invaluable as a reference point and it made it much easier to approach other more 'technical' A&P textbooks as it gives you a basic but solid understanding. Well worth adding to the library, particularly if you are studying holistic therapies.

This is a good book for Holistic therapists. I use it in conjunction with Louise Tucker: An Intor to A & P and Ross & Wilson 10th Ed A&P and Tortora "the Bible" on A & P with online interactive flash test etc. Half way through the course and have read every book so far and use them all in conjunction in order to get the best overview of A & P as some aspects are not covered in as much detail in Francesca Gould's book as others. Worth buying to add to the library!
 Not for the mature student January 12, 2007
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am a mature student and was advised that I would have to have this book for my course of study. Whilst the book appears to be fairly correct when compared to other more professional text books, I'm afraid to say I found the presentation and style was a bit too 'babyish'. I would consider myself to be an intelligent woman capable of learning from a book designed for adult study, but unfortunately felt like I was studying from a book designed more for children than an adult. In all I would have to say it's not the book I would chose, given the choice again. The book is ok but better suited for school children.
Another Great Book! January 30, 2006

Extremely glad I purchased this book from Amazon. I am studying beauty therapy and was not looking forward to the A&P part, a lot of books that I have looked at buying were very long winded, technical and make you want to put them down! This is simple, clear, and tells you the basic facts without too much detail, but I feel that it covers the essentials. There are some parts of the book that offer you "revision" by crosswords and questions, which I haven't done, but a good of way of learning if it works for you! Very good author and very good book!
