Customer Reviews

This book was required for my Human Anatomy course in college, but the newest edition was like $200+. Thankfully the professor did not actually require the textbook, and we used it for reference only- so I was able to get the older edition for $10. You can imagine how happy I was to get this deal. The textbook is an excellent resource for anyone taking anatomy, the large full color pictures from real life dissections are great additions to the material we learn in class. I would highly recommend for any student taking Human Anatomy. My only complaint was that the description said it would include the CD, but the CD was missing when I got the book. To be fair, I was expecting it to be missing, since it was used. Still, for $10 I was plenty satisfied.

Human Anatomy

This book was the exact same as the U.S.A edition, it arrived on time, and was brand new.

Good book

Good book. Great illustrations. If they have a newer version, get it, but it's a very large but sturdy book (the pages are oversized so it's a bit bulky). Good information. It's great if you're completely confused about something your teacher says. Usually you can reference it in the book and read all about it.

Great book!

This book is written in a very good detail with amazing pictures to make it easier for every learner. I am 100% happy with my purchase and would recommend this book to everyone who is really interested in studying Anatomy.

Review for Human Anatomy Book

I got it on time and received it as a new book.

Excellent, Worth the Weight

I am an EMT working on nursing pre-requisites, and I read this book, as well as Anatomy and Physiology for Emergency Care, and Marieb's book on anatomy. This is the best if you take the subject seriously. The large size allows for better graphics, which is important in this field. The text is uniformly excellent. I also like the fact that developmental anatomy (fetal development) is separate, so you can only go to that if you're interested. Lot's of cadaver pics, which are very important in showing that real bodes are not coveniently neon and coordinated colors. BTW, the other two books mentioned are also good. Marieb offers less material, and the A & P for Emergency Care is for paramedicine. If this area is new to you and you need excellent grades, find a local paramedic A & P class (40 hours), which is the best way to get a head start.
