Rating:  - amazing..
explore and enjoy the magis of this book...
helpfull end really easily to understand, specially for students, medical and also veterinary students, like me...
Rating:  - Need to be up-dated
This a good traditional physiology book, but needs to have more up-date concepts about the molecular basis of physiology. The book is very extense,. but handle very old concepts. Now the molecular biology have and important impact in all areas of medicine, and I believe this book not include importat molecular concepts. The book was good before the molecular biology and gene revolution. I believe that the book handle past histoy.
Rating:  - Very complete, but best used as a reference
You can't really go too wrong with this text, especially as a reference.
My main problem with Guyton is that the writing style is often soporific, tedious, and rambling. Parts of the section on heart action almost sounded like a parody of a really awful college lecture.
For anyone planning to study physiology systematically, I would strongly recommend Berne and Levy's *Physiology* over Guyton. The Berne book is equally comprehensive but has much better layout and genuinely good writing.
Rating: - Helpful, readable reference
As a beginning pharmacy student, I found this book in the library while trying to look up info I couldn't find in my other physiology texts. I was impressed enough to order my own copy out of my measly little broke-student budget. It's thorough and readable, and while its focus isn't really exactly what I usually need these days (since I'm focusing more on the drug therapy aspects of things) it's still a great reference. You may not use it all the time, but it's a good idea to know where you can find one--in the library, in a friend or roommate's collection, etc.
Rating: - Great reference for understanding physiology
I was first introduced to this text while going through cardiovascular technician training, as it was one of many texts signed out to us. I found it to be a great reference while in school and referred to it frequently when I had questions or needed clarification on various aspects of general physiology.
After I graduated from my program, I purchased the updated version for use in my continuing education and for research for classes I teach. I especially like some of the "off-the-wall" topics included in this text that may not be normally found in other books (for example, basic dive and altitude medicine).
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a full-coverage reference on physiology.
