The Acupuncture Points Functions Colouring Book

by Rainy Hutchinson, Richard Blackwell (Foreword), Angela Hicks (Foreword)

This book presents a fun and practical way of learning the functions of acupuncture points on the twelve primary and eight extra channels.. Students are invited to colour and doodle their way through the sequence of images on each channel in turn embellishing anything they find difficult to remember or recall. Through the drawings the author offers her own imaginative visual representation of each point based on translations of the Chinese point names. The text page opposite each set of drawings provides a quick cross reference for the student, with a simple list of the point names and the main functions relating to each. The flexible style of this book accommodates the needs of students from a wide range of schools and traditions. This is an essential learning resource for students of acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu and massage, and is ideal for revision and self or paired testing.

From Netgalley for a review:

This brings back happy memories of Anatomy and Physiology class, medical classes, and studying the human body...and my personal study aid, the Anatomy coloring book. It was not a class provided thing, I went out and bought it (and several other science themed coloring books) and became the envy of my classmates...I was getting top scores and I got to color, win-win.

Some people just learn best when they have a thing to add color to, it is like taking notes in different colors and such, and I am glad to see that there are coloring books popping up to help people learn things other than the 'norm'

As for the book itself, it is pretty awesome, very well laid out and clear with keys to what things are. I reviewed this on my kindle so I was unable to actually color the book, which is sad, but just studying it helped me learn more about acupuncture and meridians.
