Fascinating and easy to follow
Such a beautifully woven book. Who knew a dense topic like human anatomy could be so light and enjoyable. I read textbooks on this material in college and it was so hard to stay engaged. Here, in this book, you learn all that knowledge in a very accessible and captivating way. And most importantly, in a fresh lens of holistic health, relating to the spirit and the whole of existence, human and beyond.

Excellent read!
This book is quite delightful. I have studied anatomy in college and it always seemed disjointed and over complex. This book really integrates anatomy and physiology so that it makes sense to life. I would recommend it for anyone who would like a more global understanding of the human system. At times it was even a page turner! The author has done a great job of bringing in the technical information while looping back and bringing it in to relation to the rest of the information in the book. I feel my confidence in my knowledge of the human body is more solid after reading this book.

Perfect! This is a nice book to help others …
Perfect! This is a nice book to help others understand the interpretation of anatomy. Nothing really changes what it allows the reader is a deeper understanding in terms that they can understand. Maybe it will bring an understanding that can shrink the world just a bit more.
When we understand more we seem to also fear less.

I LOVE this book.
I LOVE this book. As a holistic healer, it is the book I wish I had been made to read in nursing school. It would have made life easier finding my path to all I do now. I always saw life as interconnected and everything part of everything else. Pip puts this information about anatomy and physiology, human biology, into a magical read.

For personal reading as an addition to my other books on Natural Nutrition. I like the holistic angle of the complex topics on the complex human body.
Thank you Pip Waller for conceiving this resourceful book.

1. Waller seems to approve of the theories of Ryke Geerd Hamer ([…]). Bad enough that she writes repeatedly about âDirk Hamerâ (which was Hamerâs son). She doesnât seem to know that Ryke Geers Hamer calls his âmedicineâ âNew German Medicineâ and his theories have a decidedly neo-nazi flavor (cf. âJewish Conspiracy Theoryâ in the Wikipedia article on him.)
2. After having read her comments on Hamer, I looked up what she writes on âskinâ (because I have to pass a test on âskinâ soon, and I read a lot on the topic).
Waller writes: âIt is now understood that regular exposure to the sun is not the risk it was once thought to be; it might be worse to have only intermittent exposure. Sunscreen and sunblock use have increased enourmously, but so has incidence of skin cancer. In fact, skin cancer rates have increased the most in places that people use the most sun creams, leading to speculation that something in the creams themselves may be carcinogenic.â if âsomething in the creams
I donât know if âregular exposure to the sunâ is ânot the risk it was once thought to beâ and I donât know if âsomething in the creams themselves may be carcinogenicâ. But what I do know: Her argumentation is an example of âpost hoc, non ergo propter hocâ. People in Iceland use comparatively little sunblock and they have lesser skin cancer than Australians, but that doesnât mean that sunblocking creams cause cancer.
Please donât read this book if your knowledge on anatomy affects other peopleâs lives (that is: if you work in the healing profession -âholisticâ or not!

I studied physiology and cellular biology and am now using this book as a refresher for an herbalism course. It is an easy read, yet full of good information and thought provoking. Glad I purchased this book!
