Summary: A good intro to anatomy and physiology
Comment: This book is designed to be an introduction to A & P and it does that very well. I didn't give the book a perfect 5 star rating for a couple of reasons. First, I have a background in anatomy and found some of their explanations of a few body systems to be confusing even though I already knew the information. This was particularly true of their explanation of the Autonomic Nervous System. In general, most things are explained well and have a lot of really helpful accompanying figures and tables.
The only other thing that I don't particularly like is the way the pathology is integrated. I feel like it was a little to heavy on the disease end of things. This is really sort of a personal preference, I am not really a pathologist so I didn't feel the need to have that information. It just depends on your focus of study.
The thing I really like about the book is the review section at the end. First, there is an extremely helpful outline summary, which is really handy if you didn't understand something in the chapter. Second, there is a chapter test that can help you review and test what you learned.
The only shortcoming of the review section at the end is that it doesn't have all the key terms (in bold type throughout the chapter) listed. In my studying, I generally went back through the chapter page by page after reading it and wrote down each key term and its definition instead of using the list in the review section. Also, all the key terms that are in bold print are not in the glossary, which I think they should be if they are going to go out of their way to make them bold.
All in all, a good introduction. Definitely pick up the student study guide that is designed to go with this text, as it will definitely help you study.
