Review & Description

This is Pilates as you’ve never seen it before.

With detailed descriptions, step-by-step instruction, and stunning full-color anatomical illustrations, Pilates Anatomy takes you inside the exercises and programs that will tone the body, stabilize the core, improve balance, and increase flexibility. Using the original mat work of Joseph Pilates, you’ll see how key muscles are used, how variations and minor adjustments can influence effectiveness, and how breathing, alignment, posture, and movement are all fundamentally linked.

Choosing from over 45 exercises, you can target a particular body region and delve deeper to stretch, strengthen, and finely coordinate specific muscles. You’ll also find techniques for breathing, concentration, and self-awareness for a unique exercise experience that enhances your mind and your body.

Whether you are just beginning to explore the beauty and benefits of Pilates or have been practicing for years, Pilates Anatomy is a one-of-a-kind resource that you’ll refer to again and again.

Review & Description

See inside every stretch—and maximize flexibility! Stretching Anatomy will arm you with the knowledge to increase range of motion, supplement training, enhance recovery, and maximize efficiency of movement. You'll also gain a detailed understanding of how each stretch affects your body.

Stretching Anatomy is like having an X-ray of each stretch, only better. Not only do you see full-color illustrations of the muscles in action, but you also find out how changes in position can alter the muscle emphasis and difficulty and how variations can improve safety and effectiveness.

Each exercise includes detailed instruction on how to stretch, when to stretch, primary and secondary muscle emphasis, and which muscles are activated for support. Stretching programs provide three levels of difficulty, including light stretching that can be used as a warm-up or to aid in recovery from soreness or injury. And summary movement tables show how to customize stretching programs to focus on key problem areas.

Whether it is increased flexibility or reduced muscle soreness or tension, Stretching Anatomy allows you to see and feel the benefit of proper stretching technique.

Review & Description

The new gold standard for learning anatomy

Atlas of Anatomy, Second Edition, is the essential resource for anyone studying gross anatomy.  Packed with over 2,400 full-color illustrations, this atlas guides you step-by-step through each region of the body, helping you master the details of anatomy.

Key Features:
Exquisite full-color illustrations with clear, thorough labeling and descriptive captions
Even more clinical correlations help students make the connection between anatomy and medicine
Coverage of each region intuitively arranged to simplify learning:  beginning with the skeletal framework,  then adding muscles, organs,  vasculature, and nerves, and concluding with topographic illustrations that put it all together
Over 170 tables summarize key anatomic information for ease of study and review
Innovative, user-friendly format in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic
Surface anatomy spreads now include regions and reference lines or planes in addition to landmarks and palpable structures to develop physical exam skills
Muscle Fact spreads ideal for memorization, reference, and review organize the essentials about muscles, including origin, insertion, innervation, and action
New sectional anatomy spreads at the end of units build familiarity with 2D views of anatomic regions 
Access to WinkingSkull.com PLUS, with over 500 images from the book for labels on and labels-off review  and  timed self-tests for exam preparation

Atlas of Anatomy is the students choice:
Thieme is the best anatomy atlas by far, hands down. Clearer pictures, more pictures, more realistic picturesstructures broken up in ways that make sense and shown from every angleincludes clinical correlations and summary charts of innervations and actions. That's about all there is to it. Just buy it. Thank you Thieme!!! Ok, now back to studying...

In my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed . The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember.  Easier to remember is key.
