| I normally don't do reviews but after my experience with Amazon.com I feel it is well deserved and I am justified in my thoughts.
<br />
<br />I was excited to know that I could purchase my book from Amazon when everyone else had it on back order but I was very disappointed when I actually received my books. I made my purchase in plenty of time for my class and was excited to know that their promised delivery date was before my class started and I could get an early start on my studies.
<br />
<br />I did not receive the shipment by their promised delivery date and it was actually three days later that what was promised. This was after the start of my class. The class I'm taking is an advanced class which means it's a 15 week class condensed into 8 weeks and receiving my books three days late really got me off to a terrible start!
<br />
<br />The front of my Anatomy & Physiology book is cut from top to bottom on the front side which most likely came from their shipping and receiving department as a result of carelessness on their part!
<br />
<br />So now I have a book that is very susceptible to heat and wear and tear and it will cost a lot of money to replace in the future. I tried to find a customer service phone number for Amazon.com but had no luck. I seriously doubt if I will make another purchase through Amazon.com for obvious reasons.

| I purchased this book for an online course. Each new subject that the author would talk about would be scattered throughout the chapter instead of being in the near paragraphs to follow. I found myself shifting from one page to many pages away just to piece together what the subject was about. I found it to be unorganized. The book was very dry and could have been worded better. By the way the software it comes with is not all that. It's just a review with cheap graphics. Please by this book used, it's not worth your full dollar (even if it doesn't come with the CD's, there are web sites that can coach you with some pre-tests-provided by the book)
This book covers the basics of Anatomy and Physiology for a student getting started. It is structured well, and is easy to skim through and find answers if you're looking for a specific question. Also, it's not so dry as some textbooks, so you don't fall asleep so easily while studying! <p>The best thing about this book is the CD Rom study guide. The study guide has an overview of the book, with pictures and video clips of computer animated sequences of cell function, muscle function, and many other things. It also has activities in which you click and drag answers for study sheets. At the end of each section there is a quiz, with randomly selected questions from the study material, and at the end of a chapter a unit exam. This helped me tremendously in preparing for tests. You can test yourself several times with differing tests(since the questions are random)and so be more prepared for your exams in class. |

| Got this book for a college level human anatomy course. Compared with other similar level anatomy books this one ranks high. Generally easy to read and interesting enough to keep one reading. Overall its an anatomy book and as such it should provide a good overview of human anatomy with just enough physiology to keep one interested in the material and provide a greater insight into what it is your learning, thereby helping to keep the material relevant and easy to recall. And as such this book meets expectations.
The book was lost in the mail. I, however, received a full refund on my purchase. I did receive the atlas that went with it.
I have the new 5th edition. As a nursing student this text has been extremely easy to read and understand the concepts. It keeps you interested in the information with practical examples and lively dialogue and includes helpful memory tips. It also comes with a cd-rom and access to a web site that really help you study and review the material. My only complaint is the chemistry chapter (Chpt. 2) is a little long and dry but then that is probably due to the subject matter and not the author. I would highly recommend it to anyone! |
