Complicated subject made easy

I have read many A & P books.But by far this book is the most concise,and readable book on the subject.I gave my copy to a pre-med student,giving it out of love and sacrafice,because at the time the book had sold out before I could reorder it.I just reordered the new edition and very much look forward to having it again.And it will never leave my library again.This book is a must have to those in the medical field. Sincerely William Carney LPN

The best illustrated physiology book ever!

This book is written in a simple language & is excellent for review. The info are presented in an outline format for quick reading. However, I think it would be better if you can read it in conjunction with some other textbooks like Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, because some details are required to complete the picture. Like all the books of this series, you'll find the diagrams which summarize the salient points of each topic valuable aids to learning or revision.

first-rate book

The 6th edition of this book continues its excellent tradition. It is clear, concise and readable. What makes this book (and others from the series such as Pathology Illustrated) so excellent is that they can actually be read cover to cover in a short period of time. The value of this book to the student or teacher of physiology cannot be overstated.

Excellent as a visual for students and as patient education

I find this book an excellent resource for patient education material as it provides a simplified visual for the formal concepts. It is also very useful for the beginning student to accompany the formal text as an additional learning mechanism.
