Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Human Anatomy and Physiology: Including 1450 Problems a

If you are looking for a book that only stresses the main points of human anatomy and physiology, this is the right book. But if you are looking for in-depth study of this topic, then buy a textbook. The book's title is what the book is about: an OUTLINE of human anatomy and physiology. It has everything you need to know about A & P without carrying a whole textbook. It's compact and fits in any backpacks. Best of all, this book is easy-to-read & understand and there are no spelling mistakes, so I guaranteed you'll do fine if you know learn everything from this book. (sigh) I wish I know this book when it first came out.

Do you want an "A" and still have a life? Then buy this book. I've gotten A's from my first two A & P classes because of it. I have no science background. The assigned textbook is so huge I avoid looking at it as much as possible. Instead, I rely on my lecture notes and Schaum's when ever I can. Yes, there are times I am forced to use my assigned text, but there are plenty of times when Schaum's covers the point without wasting my time, and highlights important concepts as well.So do yourself a favor and buy this Outline...unless you like the idea of going blind over a 50 pound tome while your social life withers and dies from neglect.

This book is great if you don't like reading long textbooks. It's easy to read and makes Anatomy and Physiology more interesting. I was recommended this book from a friend who used this book and another study guide and got over a 90 average. The other two books I highly recommend are the following:Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (Vol 1) ISBN: 0971999619Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (Vol 2) ISBN: 0971999627The last two study guide showed me the kind of questions I saw on my college exams. My friend was right. I used these 3 books and also got an "A" in my college A and P class.

Truly a great find! I use it to review for my midterms and finals with great results. Really feel it has kept my B+ average from sliding. Concise, to the point, and all the best parts of my text book in 10 pages or less, per chapter. Fully solved exercises could be a bit more extensive (only 6-8 multiple choice questions per chapter) but I won't look this gift horse in the mouth. Giving this to my friend who is one quarter behind me, with my full recommendation.

The Schaum's book is an excellent review for anatomy and physiology. The book really kept me focused on the important aspects of anatomy to cover while reading and reviewing my class notes. I would really recommend this book to anyone taking any kind of anatomy and physiology based course. Everything about this book is just wonderful.
