8 out of 10 ITEC A&P students preferred it - By: Mrs. PA Batt-Rawden, 17 Jun 2008 
I teach the ITEC A&P qualification & know only too well how difficult it is to find a text book written at the level required to support the course & syllabus (A level).
I have used the Louise Tucker book for the last four years but it lacks decent illustrations & 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 writtenin 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 & 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 - By: Mrs. Fiona Northover, 31 Mar 2007 I am studying Aromatherapy & Massage & found this book helped me get through the A&P modules successfully. It is clear, concise with very helpful diagrams & 'colouring' workpages to reinforce information you have just read. I found it invaluable as a reference point & 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.
A&P guide - By: J. J. Rowley, 31 Jan 2007 This is a good book for Holistic therapists. I use itin conjunction with Louise Tucker: An Intor to A & P & Ross & Wilson 10th Ed A&P & Tortora "the Bible" on A & P with online interactive flash test etc. Half way through the course & have read every book so far & use them allin conjunctionin order to get the best overview of A & P as some aspects are not coveredin as much detailin Francesca Gould's book as others. Worth buying to add to the library!
Not for the mature student - By: Julie Jenkins, 12 Jan 2007 
I am a mature student & 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 & 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! - By: , 30 Jan 2006 
Extremely glad I purchased this book from Amazon. I am studying beauty therapy & was not looking forward to the A&P part, a lot of books that I have looked at buying were very long winded, technical & make you want to put them down! This is simple, clear, & 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 & questions, which I haven't done, but a good of way of learning if it works for you! Very good author & very good book!
