Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology

I ordered my book on Friday morning and recieved it Saturday the next day! Great timing and still in the wrapping with a tutorial cd!

The book gives a clear, concise, and engaging account of the human body and its systems. It displays information to the reader in a number of different ways, oftentimes breaking down a difficult concept by explaining it in paragraph form, a table, and several drawings. I find this method to be a successful learning tool because different learning styles are accommodated and the reader also has several examples to learn from instead of only one. Also, the illustrations are gorgeous and very helpful. This is a great textbook for an intro-to-medium level college class in A & P, or an advanced text for non-doctors as the material is clearly presented but is also quite detailed.

My daughter who is taking a course in nursing likes this book.I find this book neat and the illustrations done by Dr WilliamOber clear and easy to the eyes. If you are not anybody who isinvolved in the health or medical studies, and wish to knowmore about the human body (anatomy and physiology), then I highlyrecommend this concise "essentials" book. Take a look at page132, Figure 6-6, you actually get to see the whole of humanskeletal system which appears as photograph, not a drawing. Ican use this page to show my children what the human skeletonlooks like and name the parts, which are clearly labelled. Thereason I have given 4 stars because I cannot say this book is100% perfect. The authors will later improve it in their futureeditions, still this is a good buy ...you won't regret.

This book is great for anyone who is interested in human anatomy. Its very easy to read and understand. The colorful pictures and illustrations will help you visualize better the human body. I recommend this book to anyone searching for a good Anatomy and Physiology book.

the book is very easy to understand
