Customer Reviews

fantastic book...easy to learn from

Yeah...this book was great. it has a lot of pictures, uses definitions that are easy for the average person to learn from. the chapter review excersizes are also a great summary to show you what was most important in the text. there are a few minor typos in the reviews...so just double check with the text which is usually correct. definitely worth the money and a good book to use if you're taking a college class, like me!

Fantastic Quick Reference

I have really enjoyed using this text. It is easy to read and is careful to fully explain both the definitions, the pronounciation, and provide a descption of the most common ailments for each body system studied. It is definetly a keeper both for my class now and for future reference.

A Must Have for Nursing Students and Medical Transcriptionists

This is a huge, in-depth book. I originally got it for a medical transcription course, but I find that I refer to it quite often for my anatomy & physiology classes. There are tons of full-color pictures, lists of abbreviations. The first 4 chapters are general terminology, which is very helpful, which is followed by 20 chapters on different systems of the body and fields of practice. I love this book and will use it throughout my nursing schooling, and probably even past that.

Not easy, but well laid out and indepth

I have really enjoyed learning from this book. It has laid things out in a most learnable manner. I'm not saying the information was easy, but I learned more than with other books and I found the information fascinating and the CD that comes with it is very helpful in preparing for tests.
