Juhan, Deanne. Job's Body, (Station Hill Press).
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 Phase 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.

• The Anatomy Coloring Book (authors and publishers have changed over the years)
• Alcamo, Edward. Anatomy and Physiology-The Easy Way,(Barron's). A good, beginner's textbook with just enough detail to fill out the material presented in classroom lectures for those desiring more information. Now titled Barron's Anatomy and Physiology the Easy Way By Edward I. Alcamo, Barbara Krumhardt, 2004.
  
• Tortora, Gerald and Derrickson, Bryan. Principles of Anatomy and Physiology,(Harper Collins). A much more in-depth text on anatomy and physiology with greater detail than A&P-The Easy Way. This is a textbook commonly used in nursing schools. A great book for anyone really interested in delving into the intricacies of A&P.
• Rohen, Yokichi, Lutjen-Drecoll. Color Atlas of Anatomy (Williams and Wilkins)

• Stone and Stone. Atlas of Skeletal Muscles, (Wm. C. Brown). A well presented textbook with diagrams of individual muscles that will greatly aid in your study of Structural Kinesiology.

These books are handy for learning the muscle attachments, and very useful for the beginning student; however, they do not provide any organizing context for relating these concepts. They can be useful as an adjunct to any of the above-listed textbooks, but you must derive the larger concepts from the accompanying texts.
