* Juhan, Deanne. Job's Body, (Station Hill Press, 1987). One of the best books ever written on anatomy and physiology for bodyworkers. It is not a "beginner's text" and, therefore, is not assigned as the A&P textbook for Unit I. It does, however, give insights into this material that one does not get from standard A&P texts. An absolute "must have" for anyone who is considering a career as any type of bodyworker. To read more & to have the option to add it to your shopping cart, click HERE.
