This easy-to-read textbook introduces you to the human body as a living, functioning organism. You'll discover exactly what happens when normal body functions are upset by disease, and see how the body works to restore a state of balance and health. Concrete examples from everyday life help you understand how anatomy and physiology concepts relate to the real world - for example, suntan and sunburn help you understand melanin and pigment cells. Material is presented in 17 self-contained chapters, each exploring a particular aspect of body function. This updated third edition is now easier to use than ever, featuring new, visually-appealing artwork and new Tools for Learning, including easy-to-spot learning objectives and review questions at the end of major sections in each chapter.

The diagrams are good and in full colour and if you need it simply as a reference book to fill in your own diagrams it's fine. There are good summary tables and it also has a few exercises after each chapter, but for me, the only saving point was the diagrams. The rest of the book is basically a summary of all one needs to know rather than going into any detail which, for someone learning the subjects, is not very helpful at all. Choose a thicker book e.g. WIE Principles of Anatomy and Physiology.

I had just started my first year of nursing studies when I bought this book. It has been so useful and is written in a way that I can understand. It has lots of pictures too to help with demonstration. I definitely recommend this book.

Loved it. I needed an easy study guide for A&P; and this book said everything I needed to know. Easy to read, and light so it wasn't a hassle for me to take anywhere I could find time to study.

This is a really good introductory book to anatomy and helps explain things in detail and in ways that help the reader really understand the terms and concepts.

a decent text

This text is clear and well defined, but lacks in depth information. Therefore, it is my conclusion that is it a good reference text for a college level anatomy physiology, but either another text or detailed reader might be necessary for depth of field.
