Reviewer: ,

This book filled with great informative pictures and information that makes any college A and P student's life a lot easier. I used this book for anatomy and physiology class I and II. The book is easy to read and it is a powersource of knowledge. The book is not tedious nor boring to read. In fact, it is quite interesting and was a pleasure studying from. If you want to know the type of questions asked on college anatomy and physiology exams, get the following which is also on amazon:

Good for Basic Course

Review Date: February 8, 2010

Reviewer: Stan, Denver

This is an excellent source for a basic understanding of Anatomy and Physiology. Just note that any such class requires a lot of memorization. There are a lot of terms, and names for things to remember. This book makes it more interesting my adding stories and relating the information to real life or job situations. It helps to put things into perspective. The images are not always clear, but, when used with the workbook designed for the course, everything comes clear.

I was not particularly pleased with the CD's that came with the book, but they do contain all the images from the book as an aid to studying.

Very Nice Book!!

Reviewer: Gunny,

The other book we had got horribly disfigured from water damage. We were not sure if we could find this particular book again, because of the publication date. However, Amazon came through once again and had the book in extremely good condition!! Thanks Amazon.

fast and efficient

Reviewer: sage,

The book came reasonably quickly. I would mention that it didn't come with the CD that usually accompanies the book when you purchase it new... but I got it used, for a great price, so I wasn't really expecting the CD. There was only minimal underlining/highlighting/marginal notes, not at all a problem. The book is well written, has easy to read diagrams, and explains Human anatomy in a nice overview that isn't too indepth nor does it gloss over everything. Overall, I was very happy with the service from the seller, and from the book itself.
