Rating:  - Essentials of A & P
From beginning to end, descriptive text and detailed illustration takes the reader on a magic carpet ride through the human body. Soaring over every anatomical location and pointing out all of their physiological functions, each page is overflowing with mesmerizing information. A student armed with the endless knowledge within these pages is sure to prosper in any course related to this subject.
Rating: - Good bargin Book on A & P
This is a great book for anyone that needs a small (less than 700 pages) book to look up basic concepts. I bought a used copy as a low cost way to start an A&P library. Medical students may not want to use this book unless they are in their very first year and know nothing about anatomy and physiology; but anyone in the allied health field will want to keep this one handy. Anyone who is willing to immerse himself in this book will definitely acquire a good working knowledge of A & P. I found numerous chapters that were great starting points to motivate deeper study. For instance, the Chapter on Muscles is very useful. It provide views of each major muscle, along with a diagram that lists what type of motion the muscle creates, and it's origin & insertion points. Many chapters have clinical examples as well as special sections that deal with aging and it's effects on the body's systems. If you are on a tight budget, get a used copy and you won't be disappointed.
Rating:  - Why I like this book.
My daughter who is taking a course in nursing likes this book.
I find this book neat and the illustrations done by Dr William
Ober clear and easy to the eyes. If you are not anybody who is
involved in the health or medical studies, and wish to know
more about the human body (anatomy and physiology), then I highly
recommend this concise "essentials" book. Take a look at page
132, Figure 6-6, you actually get to see the whole of human
skeletal system which appears as photograph, not a drawing. I
can use this page to show my children what the human skeleton
looks like and name the parts, which are clearly labelled. The
reason I have given 4 stars because I cannot say this book is
100% perfect. The authors will later improve it in their future
editions, still this is a good buy ...you won't regret.
Rating:  - This Book is A Hard Book to find anything
This book is way to complicated. It is not very helpful to tryto find information in an easy simple manner. I would try to findanother book for anatomy and physiology!
Rating: - Best educational physiology book!
I am a medicalstudent from Sweden. When I was about to begin
studying anathomy and physiology the trouble was to find a
book that gave the most knowledge in an easy, understandable way. After searching through all the books I found this one,
Essentials of anathomy and physiology, the best buy all over.
