Organized according to body systems, each of the 170 plates featured in this book includes an ingenious color-key system anatomical terminology is linked to detail illustration of the structures 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.

Lawrence M. Elson received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Zoology (Pre-Med), and completed his graduate and Ph.D. work in Human Anatomy also at the University of California, Berkeley. Elson has served as an instructor in human anatomy at the City College of San Francisco, an assistant professor of anatomy at Baylor College of Medicine, and as a lecturer at numerous additional universities and professional organizations.

Elson is the founder and president of Coloring Concepts, Inc. (CCI), producer and packager of college level, educational, scientific directed-coloring texts. He is the author/co-author of the Anatomy Coloring Book, Human Brain Coloring Book, Zoology Coloring Book, and Microbiology Coloring Book.

Presently, he is principally functioning as a clinical and forensic anatomist retained as a consultant to governments, provinces, insurance and other corporations, and law firms on causation of injury issues in cases in or anticipated to be involved in litigation.

Future plans include expanding CCI by developing new titles in the physical sciences and other education-related disciplines.

Anatomy Coloring Book.......2007-09-17

This was a required book for my sons 11th grade anatomy class. This is most helpful to learn not only the bodyparts, but also the function and spelling of the terms. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Easy to learn from.......2007-09-12

This was a big help while I was in teacher training for Pilates. We have to know anatomy so this was a huge help, because anatomy books are very boring. This one was kind of fun.

GREAT book!.......2007-09-09

This was a GREAT purchase! I received it quickly and it was in top condition! Thank you very mcuh!

well worth the coloring.......2007-08-29

The Anatomy Coloring Book is very helpful in the learning process. Since this book is very detailed,students can more easily determine where our body parts are located.

Excellent Condition..........2007-08-23

I am a first time buyer and now im hooked. I am very pleased with the condition of the book and this is one of the books I needed to learn more about the body.

Physiology Coloring Book.......2007-09-26

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.

CANNOT BE USED WITH FELT PENS (AS SHOWN ON COVER).......2007-09-21

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.

great way to learn.......2007-07-12

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.

I luv the fundamental idea of this book........2007-05-28

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.

I luv this damn book.......2007-03-14

i have never taken a class for physiology previously, and this book is my saving grace for MCAT prep and just so freagin written well and easy to follow. Highly recommended to anyone in interested in the field!!!

It is okay for basic stuff.......2007-03-11

This book is okay for basic high school knowledge, but I wouldn't really recommend it for a college course. I am taking BIO 201 (Human Anatomy and Physiology), and the book wasn't in-depth enough for my course. There were not enough of the muscles and bones covered.

Not very comprehensive - if thats what you're looking for.......2007-02-22

This book is good for younger children or people who just want a very basic overview of the human body. I bought it to help me study for my anatomy class, and this book did not provide nearly enough detail to be a good reference guide for me. If you;re taking a college level anatomy class, buy the more expensive coloring book!

Human Anatomy Coloring Book.......2007-02-19

This is a great Dover style coloring book. Anyone of any age can use it to review Human Anatomy. The generous copyright allows you to make 2 copies without permission. I am scanning the drawings and using them in a Powerpoint Presentation. Human anatomy is dull, and frankly our insides are kind of ugly. This sort of publication takes the formaldehyde smell
out learning anatomy. Kids could color, adults can use computer paint programs to add color. Once scanned the possiblities for using the drawings are endless.

This is a great learning resources. More pages to fill out than I have time for.

A Great reinforcer of previously learned lessons..........2002-09-15

I was advised by a homeschooling guide to buy this book for my science classes some time ago. I am pleased to say that I did not regret the decision I made to purchase it, as this is an excellent book! At first, I was surprised that a coloring book would be recommended as an educational tool for a first year high school student, but it was actually very helpful to me. Once I was finished completing it, I was delighted to see how vivid and realistic the illustrations became. So delighted that I bought a copy for my younger siblings to try (aged 7-10). Unfortunately they found it a little too daunting, so I'd have to say that it's not the best book for a ten year old or younger. However, if you're looking for a challenging, educational book for a student aged eleven or up, then you should try this one. You might even find yourself picking up a marker and coloring with him.

Not like the coloring books of old...........2001-12-08

I was a little depressed when I sent this to my niece who is brilliant and yet found it a little bit intimidating. To quote her younger sister (by only 9 months), {I don't know Beck, but it looks like a fairly adult hand there>?) I feel that you should maybe have provided an age range? (10-12)? I am hoping that she will put it on her bookshelf and eventually "get into it" I am now wishing I had got it for myself!!!

Very Helpful.......2007-09-13

I am currently in Microbiology and this book is very helpful with its layout. I am a visual learner and this book has exceeded my expectations so far. The only complaint/comment I have is that the pictures are very small and compact therefore making it hard to color with anything other than colored pencils. I would have liked crayon as they have better colors but beggers can't be choosers. Great book overall!!!

Paper is too thin, colors bleed through, otherwise it is terrific.......2007-05-05

I took microbiology and anatomy at the same time. I used coloring books in both classes and they were a big help. The only complaint I have about the microbiology book is that the paper is thin, lighter than the paper stock used in the anatomy coloring book. I placed a paper between the pages so the markers didn't bleed onto the next plate, but you could see the colors through the page and sometimes it was distracting trying to read the information on the page. I tried coloring with pencils and it worked out fine, it just takes longer to use pencils as opposed to markers.

I highly recommend the book if you are a visual and tactile learner.

Thoruough.......2006-03-24

The best thing about coloring books is that they are a form of entertainment while being a tool for learning. That is my experience with this book. Enjoyable, thorough, and money well spent

good for a warm-up.......2006-03-03

This would be a great book to go thru before you take micro. It keeps the material simple and provides pleasing visuals to help you see what's going on.

great learning aid.......2003-03-20

This is a great learning tool to help memorize key microbes and other needed material. Visual learning is so much easier and more fun because facts stick to your brain more. I also used the following which is also sold on amazon.com:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questons and Answers (ISBN: 0971999635)
The second book helped me to know the kind of questions to prepare for on my exams. I am a undergraduate student and found both books very helpful. In fact, I got a 93 average in my college microbiology class.

Biology coloring book.......2007-05-12

Coloring books are fun and this one is educational. Probably good for highschool teachers or to suppplement someones college course in bio, but the written material leaves something to be desired.

Excellent Biology Study Book.......2006-11-10

This book is VERY detailed...the coloring is definately geared at High School level+. The details in the descriptions and pictures are very good, and the hands on approach of coloring gives a real feel for where parts are located. Excellent for home-schooling!

Too Wordy.......2006-06-06

I found this book a bit dissapointing to use as a supplement for high school biology students. The coloring pages are too wordy and not user friendly.

Good Educational Coloring Book.......2006-04-07

This Biology coloring book has been fantastic for my son. It is not a 'for pleasure' coloring book, although it would be for me. It is not a child's book. It is a teaching resource. Highschool to college ages will get great benenfit from this. I recommend buying a 48+ Prism color pencil set, and start enjoying yourself while learning Biology.

Good supplementary, review, or reference text for basic biology.......2006-01-26

I use this book as an optional/supplementary text in college, non-major biology classes. Some of the information and ideas are outdated, but the book has value on at least 3 different levels:

(1)It presents the information in a different format than the main text, requiring a student to learn the differences
(2)The actual coloring makes the students think about the materials longer than just "skimming" through it.
(3)The diagrams of the cells, organelles, and human tissue systems allow the students to learn individual parts of these systems and/or the system as a whole.

My students who buy this book tell me that it helps them study for tests. I use it as a quick reference guide if I want a brief overview of some process or body part. I recommend it for anyone who wants a visual summary of many of the aspects that are talked about when studying general or basic biological subjects

The best to learn neuroanatomy..........2007-04-24

I struggled in Neuroanatomy. Once I got this book after our first test my grade went up a whole letter grade. So if you are like me and a very visual learner...I highly recommend this book. And if you are trying to decide b/w this one and other coloring books, get this one. I tried others and this one was the best. Not only are the pictures and labeling great, but on the side of each picture you color is words which explain how that system, process, etc works. It explains it in terms that are easy to understand and help you remember.

This book is extremely helpful in learning neuroscience. Especially with pictures of the tracts...It really help you visualize and understand whats going on.. and the descriptions on the side of the coloring page are written very well.

Homeschoolers - Pay attention!.......2007-08-29

My first grade daughter has had it in her mind to become a marine biologist for the past 2 years. I decided for science this year we would delve into marine biology using this book. We have been working in it for 3 weeks. The text isabove her head, but works well with my 4th grader. My first grader is enjoying coloring the different ocean currents, and will love it when we get to actual sea life!!

Not For Young Kids.......2007-01-18

I bought this for my 6 year old nephew, big mistake! He is crazy about marine biology and will probably color the pictures, but the text is for adults.

These aren't run of the mill coloring books.......2002-02-12

This might be the greatest way to self teach a topic ever devised! You have to follow the instructions. What the authors want you to do is read along as you color the book. Each coloring page has an associated page of text. As you read the text it makes reference to certain parts of the drawing. You can't help but learn. The topics range over all areas and habitats of marine biology and hit all the key points covered in any introductory class. They are grouped by habitat, physiology, ethology and again by taxonomic groups. As far as learning style? If you where isolated in the middle of the dessert with this book and a decent set of color pencils then you would come out with an excellent broad base introductory knowledge of marine biology. It would go well with any beginners course also. Don't let the "coloring book" title fool you, a child of five wold enjoy it but an adult would be able to reap all the rewards as well.

everyone loves coloring!.......2002-01-17

Being a high school teacher, i use this book and the biology coloring book to supplament my class text. It offers very insightful text to accompany each picture. The pictures are very detailed with complete coloring instructions. I was skeptical at first to use it, but the students really get excited about it and seem to get a great deal from finishing them.

I am a college student who found this to be a great secondary resource. Many of the form and function and reproductive strategy summaries contain great information that I have not found in textbooks. The coloring pages are great too, if for no other reason than they reiforce what the organisms look like.

Great Resource for middle school life science teacher!.......2006-06-30

I have purchased several biological coloring books in the past and use them all regularly in my 7th grade life science classroom. Adolescents still need color and they learn as they are doing it! This is just another fantastic resource for me to use with them. Now that our state standards have changed and include evolution in more detail, I am certain that this will be very valuable!

GROG LIKE COLOR BOOK!!!.......2005-09-24

As a member of Homo erectus it was nice seeing pictures of the old family again, homo habilus, homo ergaster even dopey old australopithecus.

It reminded me of the times we would sit around the fire chewing on mastodon swapping lies about the hunt. Then afterwards we would take a walk down to the lake to get some fresh water and invariably one of us would get his throat ripped out by a large predator. I can still hear the screams like it was yesterday.

Anyway, I would suggest using charcoals and crushed flowers for pigment to add an air of authenticity to your colorings.

Enjoy!

Excellent resource for learning!.......2001-02-08

Dr. Zihlman's new edition of the HECB is even more fantastic than the first! It is simply a fantastic resource for learning about human evolution. Any topic that you want to learn about or have questions about is covered.

Dr. Zihlman's book encorporates both textbook style writings and pages to color so that the reader can actually see what the text refers to. From personal experience, I have found the coloring book to be extremely helpful to those students, like myself, who learn better with visual application.

I, for one, would like to thank Dr. Zihlman or all of the effort she put into making the HECB one of the funnest, most thorough ways to learn about human and primate evolution!

primate paradigms.......2000-11-25

Wow... this is a wonderful book for everyone! This is a great resource of Highschool and College students alike. If you a novice to the subject of anthropology, even better- this book will help you explore the world of anthropology in a clear and concise manner! From start to finish, this is a fabulous piece of work!

Dawin to DNA, and now Zihlman!.......2000-11-25

It is rare to see such a synthesis of anthropological material among the current literature. Dr. Zihlman's coloring book is truly a gem among introductory books. Using an elegant comparative method, the coloring book allows students of life to explore the many facets that anthropology has to offer. The book begins with a unique overview of the history of life and Darwin, continuing with an in-depth investigation of current anthropological issues such as: life history, reproduction, primate origins, human origins and many other hot topics in the field. This book is a must have for introductory students struggling with the fossil identification and primate classification, and for upper level graduate students as well, who always need a little reviewing! Due to the lack of comparative skeletal material within the university systems it is nice for professors and TA's alike to have the coloring book as a reference. This book allows you to compare (morphologically) many primate species, fossil specimens, and non-human primates as well. I truly believe that any student who has an earnest interest in this subject will enjoy the coloring book for year to come. I have currently used my coloring book for 7 years now, and eagerly await the new edition. Although, the dates and facts have changed in anthropology, the faces have not. The coloring books comparative pictures will never be out of date, and have proven time and time again as an invaluable reference for research, ideas, and teaching! This coloring book opened my eye to the fascinating worlds of anthropology, biology, genetics, and paleontology. The coloring book is a true interdisciplinary synthesis. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys natural history, primates, and discovery!

This book was necessary for my schooling. Its good.

great textbook adjunct.......2006-11-27

This book was really useful - the coloring parts are especially good if you are a visual learner. There's also more to it than just coloring in pictures - there are lots of fill-in-the-blanks sections to test your knowledge and review major ideas. This is where the only criticism lies....if you don't have the textbook (or a good knowledge of the material) then some sections will be hard to complete. Answers are provided, however, so overall, it is a really useful book and offers more than you might first assume.
