BOULDER, Co. (EWORLDWIRE) Jun 17, 2005
The Third Edition of Trail Guide to the Body has 420 pages and 1,100 illustrations (including 145 new and 200 revised illustrations). In addition, there is a new Synergists section as well as a palpatory "diary" to note a hands-on experience.
The new products that complement the textbook include an Instructor's Field Guide and Backpack (Test and Quiz Bank) CD. The Field Guide is designed specifically for teachers using Trail Guide in the classroom. The CD is packed with quizzes, fill-in illustrations and take-home assignments. These two items are free to institutions that require the Trail Guide to the Body textbook. Other new products offered by Books of Discovery include a Student Handbook with a variety of questions and exercises and a Trail Guide to the Body DVD, which demonstrates the palpation of more than 60 muscles. The instructor on the DVD is Clint Chandler, an American Massage Therapy Association Teacher of the Year.
Other Trail Guide to the Body products available are a two-box set of Flashcards that cover the skeletal systems and muscles and PowerPoint and Overhead visual aids for teachers.
The new products were developed in conjunction with customer feedback according to Andrew Biel, author of Trail Guide to the Body. "Books of Discovery's new product line began by asking students and instructors for suggestions," Biel said. "The request we heard most was to create tools that support Trail Guide. So that's what we did: students have an improved Trail Guide and a brand new Student Handbook, while instructors are supported by the Instructor's Field Guide, a huge Quiz Bank CD and a palpation and anatomy DVD," he added.
