Holistic Anatomy: An Integrative Guide to the Human Body
You can download Holistic Anatomy: An Integrative Guide to the Human Body [Kindle Edition] for everyone book mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link Complementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine have become increasingly widespread as the limits of conventional treatments become more apparent. HolisticAnatomy presents an authoritative study of anatomy, physiology, and pathology but expands the discussion by connecting the science of the body to a variety of alternative modalities to explore how human beings exist within—and interact with—their environment, and how they experience existence in emotional and spiritual terms. Basic scientific terminology and detailed descriptions are interwoven with informal, sometimes humorous observations, facts, and ideas about life. The mechanisms, structure, and functions of the body are explored, along with how they relate to spiritual and energetic paradigms, emotions, and ecological principles. The first half of the book covers basic anatomy and physiology, describing each major system of the body and how they interrelate. This part includes a thoughtful discussion of aging and the dying process. The second half focuses on models of health and disease, both traditional and holistic. Topics include western pathology, emotional health, five element medicine, and the spiritual cause for disease.

I am a registered nurse who specializes in CranioSacral Therapy. I was in great need to refresh my A&P knowledge and was looking for a book that had a holistic/alternative view of the body. This was the only book I could find through a Google search. At the time Holistic Anatomy was on the Amazon site but it had no copies(no place to click "add to cart"). So I bought my copy directly from Pip Waller. Thank You again Pip!
Fantastic modern approach to teaching anatomy and physiology. I am a more "right brain" leaner and this book has bridged synapses in my brain that in the past met a brick wall when it came to studying the human body and its parts.
Bravo to Pip for creating an enjoyable and up to date global understanding of the body...(body, mind, spirit connection).

I did not learn anything new from this book. It may be a good basic science introduction to someone just starting their holistic health research/ journey. For others, the book will lack depth. It brings up interesting holistic points in a sentence with little to no elaboration, like bullet point tidbits that leave you asking "why" and "tell me more." I constantly said "I've heard that, but I need to find other books/ sites for more detail on that." It's very general knowledge, with short chapters covering the body systems. I noticed this most in the Interrelationships chapter, which is disappointing since interrelationships is so intertwined with holistic medicine. I expected more depth in that chapter. I suggest skimming the book or using the look inside feature to see if it's worth the investment. I give it 2.5 stars; I didn't like it, but it may be OK for others.
