	Physiology: PreTest Self-Assesment & Review (Pre-Test Basic Science Series)
	By: James P. Ryan, Michael B. Wang ISBN: 0071436537 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical Release Date: 25 October, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 207692	I used this book to prep for a physio miniboard exam (NBME subject exam). Very helpful for review and practice. The High Yield chapter was okay for review, but really not as helpful as the High Yield chapters in other Pretest books. <br /> <br />Watch out for mistakes though. Many mistakes in gastro (i think... it was in one of the chapters, anyway). Start early so you have time to look up things that don't quite look right. This is a great resource for Shelf Exam prep....my physio class didn't do an adequate job of preparing me for the shelf (the first one I took), but Pre-Test helped me get a very good score.
	Introduction to the Human Body: The Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Sandra R. Grabowski ISBN: 0471222798 Publisher: Wiley Release Date: 01 January, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 51038	This book is fantastic. I learned a lot from it and the organization of the material was great. It even offers "Checkpoints" for focus on what you just read, and the answers for the "Critical Thinking" questions and "Self-quizzes" are in the back of the book. These questions are so helpful...my instructor actually used several like them on our exams. My only gripe with this text is that a few of the answers to the Self-Quizzes are incorrect. But if you've done your work, you'll be able to tell the answer doesn't jive. Hopefully in the next edition they'll do more meticulous editing on that. But they give you the usual A&P stuff, and then apply it to real-life diagnoses & situations. Required material for some massage students, this book is a great deal, saving nearly 40-50% off what you'd pay at the student book store or anywhere else for that matter. Has excellent diagrams and explanations to help through a/p. This text book is very informative and easy to understand. We bought this and the Intro to the Human Body Study Guide. It comes with an interactive CD which enhances the curriculum.

	By: Christopher D. Moyes, Patricia M. Schulte ISBN: 0805353518 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 18 August, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 85460	This book i got for school. It is so basic... kind of a backward move.

	Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual, Fetal Pig Version, Update with Access to PhysioEx 6.0 (8th Edition)
	By: Elaine N. Marieb ISBN: 0805372547 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 06 March, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 378689	Textbook has awesome pcitures. I think it would be better if the book came with detailed notecards instead of a cd. So that you can study for exams.
	Color Atlas of Physiology (Color Atlas of Physiology ( Despopoulos))
	By: Agamemnon Despopoulos, Stefan Silbernagl ISBN: 1588900614 Publisher: Thieme Medical Publishers Release Date: May, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 215548	A very complete guide to physiology which can be used by researchers, graduate students and MD students alike with incredible detail included that may be beyond what is needed even. That makes it a great reference. <br /> <br />Its unbelievable that its in pocket handbook format. <br /> <br />My top rated physiology books would be: <br /> <br />Color atlas (this guide) <br />Applied Surgical Physiology Vivas (+ Critical Care Edition) (Kanani) <br />Berne and Levy <br /> <br />In that order exactly. <br /> <br />Back to the book: <br /> <br />Invaluable and truly an amazing, complete and extremely detailed carry-around reference. This and it's companion book on Pathophysiology are the best investments I have made since entering medical school. The illustrations are great (and the diagrams set a standard that neither Guyton or Boron and Boulep can match) , but it's Silbernagl's presentation that makes them so amazing. I'm constantly finding new layers of information that I missed even after 4 or 5 passes. Buy Boron for this year's theories and break throughs, but this is the book you will be returning to. What makes this book a state-of-the-art is not its content, but the manner in which it's presented. Each subject only occupies one page of text, & opposite is a page for illustrations. But it's not the illustrations that explains the text, but rather the text that explains the illustrations (a method created by Leonardo da Vinci). This not only helps in recalling of the subject, but also helps in sustaining an interest in it. An ingenious beautiful book. <br />
