The Concise Book of Muscles has been written for the student and early practitioner of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, or any other health-related field. Containing full-colour illustrations, it is a compact reference guide, clearly identifying all the major muscles, showing the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of each muscle. The book also uniquely illustrates examples of stretching and strengthening exercises for each muscle, allowing the reader to develop an understanding of the mechanics of movement.

Summary: Information on Origin is not complete
Comment: The format is clear, but all the information on origins are not included. For example, the book states trapezius originates on the occiput and C7 to T12. That's true enough, but it makes no mention of the EOP, superior medial nuchal line, and ligamentum nuchae. The info is not always complete. The used price is great. The book has a clean format and all the infomation about a particular muscle is on one page...no excessive flipping back and forth, I like the format much better than Biel's Trail Guide to the Body, but incomplete info is a problem. I wouldn't recommend for anyone that needs concise information, for example, if you are testing for a national or state exam.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent simple read
Comment: This was a fairly easy book to follow. Nice and concise, just like the title says. A nice concise bible to have around. Could have possibly gone into deeper explanations of the muslces. Very thorough for a small book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Good!
Comment: The Concise Book of Muscles not only illustrates with great detail but the Latin name of the muscle, along with the action involved are a great tool.
Also, The stretching exercises on the side, are a plus!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: This concise book is a model of simplicity and clarity. It presents an effective way to locate and identify specific muscles along with exercises to strengthen and stretch them. It highlights muscles that are heavily used and therefore subject to injury in a variety of sports and activities. A first rate resource for athletes and massage therapists.
