	On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
	By: Dave Christensen Grossman, Loren W. Christensen ISBN: 0964920522 Publisher: PPCT Research Publications Release Date: 16 August, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 1311	This is a truly incredible book. The praise it receives is absolutely justified. Chapter after chapter of good information, useful to people other than police and military, rolls out of the authors. The chapter on tactical or combat breathing was worth the price of the book alone. The writing is well done. The pace is quick. The anecdotes & stories used to illustrate the points the book is making are wonderful. There is almost nothing not to like about this book. <br /> <br />But, there is too much emphasis inside the book on media violence leading to the increasingly violent world. The authors make a valid, well researched point, that, yes, indeed, violent media can lead to desensitiazation. What they don't point out is that broken homes, cradle-to-grave welfare, and decreased personal responsibility also help to lead to a more violent society as represented in other books. The authors dwell for a considerable amount of the book on violent media without taking the same look at other causes. Further, everything else in the book belongs there. It's all about what happens before, during and after combat. Root causes of violence just don't seem to belong. Their inclusion almost feels like a wart on the beautiful face of the book. It does impact the overall affect. <br /> <br />Just gloss over the sections and chapter on media violence and every other word in the book rings with power and truth and substance. I'm going to be referring back to this book over and over again. This book is a key to understand what is and what do a warrior. <br />It is not a harsh lecture but it is very precise. <br />I read at first "On killing" of the same author and it was as good as this one. I was very impressed with Dave Grossman's "On Killing" several years ago so when this book came out I knew it would be good. Mr. Grossman doesn't disappoint. I've trained in the martial skills for over 25 years and trained law enforcement and the National Guard. I also keep contact with many serving members of the armed forces both presently in the field and after they've returned. I've recommended this book many times to troops AND THEIR FAMILIES. I emphasize the latter, because this book may be the one place to get a real insight into what those who put their lives on the line for the rest of us have to deal with. I won't go into long details about the book as reviews below cover the book very completely. If you want to know what it takes to pull the trigger and deal with it afterwards...this is the book.
	BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)
	By: Linda S Costanzo ISBN: 0781773113 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 01 July, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 3759	I decided to purchase this book as a supplement to the textbook we use in class. You know, you read the complicated textbook and then the supplement next. Not so any longer. This guide gets right to the point. Reading it before class has facilitated my understanding of lectures and comprehension of the required readings. <br />You don't have to be a medical student to derive value out of this book. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. I ordered this book the first week that classes started and received it the following week. The book was like new as promised and I had no problems with the seller throughout my buying process. I would highly recommend this seller! Thanks~ The book was in perfect condition--brand new, no markings in the text, in tact cover...plus free shipping!
	Principles of Anatomy and Physiology
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Bryan H. Derrickson ISBN: 0471689343 Publisher: Wiley Release Date: 26 April, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 10946	I have found this book very helpful, it has a ton of useful information on medical conditions, as well as the general A&P information. This is a great textbook, mind you I have about 5 others just like it so to say that this is the one I prefer to use- it's a BIG deal. It gives you the 360 of everything in a way that you can understand. WELL DONE! I love this book. It goes an extra mile into helping students understand the concept of human anatomy. I will keep it for future references.
	Human Anatomy & Physiology (7th Edition)
	By: Elaine N. Marieb, Katja N. Hoehn ISBN: 0805359095 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 14 January, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 7241	I used this book for two semesters of college (A&P I and II). It is thorough in its explanations and gives you a clear understanding of all of the subject matter. It has great illustrations and the chapters are broken up well. It has question and answer sections at the end of each chapter that aid in learning. My professors where both well known from Wash. U and the course was quite difficult but, I recieved A's (and I am no rocket scientist). I had the 6th edition but I have worked out of the 7th, both are sufficient. ENJOY! Anatomy & Physiology was really difficult for me... but with this book and the study guide (which wasn't used at my school but I got on my own) made a HUGE difference in learning the information. The book made the subject interesting and you wanted to learn more. It had helpful tips and analogies for remembering key points. I like the book alot and was able to pull off a "B" which for me was wonderful. The study guide is a helpful tool that I think is a "must have" to go with this book if science is a challenging subject for people.[[ASIN:0805373055 Human Anatomy & Physiology (Study Guide)]] This book is part of my massge therapy curriculum and has been my best tool yet. <br />If there's something I am not getting from the lecture or something I want some more detail on, this book has got it and has got all the juice on it. <br />I feel this book would be a valiable reference for anyone in the medical feild.
	Physiology Coloring Book, The (2nd Edition)
	By: Wynn Kapit, Robert I. Macey, Esmail Meisami ISBN: 0321036638 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 03 October, 1999 Bioscience book rank: 6308	The coloring book is extremely helpful. There were some aspects of Physiology that I was having a difficult time grasping simply reading material from text books and listening to lectures, the coloring book has made understanding many concepts "childs play". I highly recommend this as a supplement to any anatomy/physiology (or even biology) course. <br />-Kat If you're a visual learner this book is an excellent addition to any physiology course. It's actually fun and it really does reinforce what you're learning. Used copy,i will not purchase another used copy coloring book. The book is in good condition but it would have been better new and not to have pages colored by someone else.
	Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies
	By: Donna Rae Siegfried ISBN: 0764554220 Publisher: For Dummies Release Date: 01 May, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 6228	I think all books should be written were everyone can understand them not just nerds. the book puts hard to understand consepts into terms that anyone can understand. I used these books, this along with the workbook to get a rough grasp on anatomy and physiology before I started the classes. I think they are tremendously helpfull an would recomend to anyone that needs that extra boost. This book was very helpful to get a basic grasp of each subject area before beginning in class. Very helpful I would recomend anyone taking an Anatomy class to get this book! This book was very good to explain things in simplier form. <br />Very usefull to me
	Textbook of Medical Physiology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Textbook of Medical Physiology)
	By: Arthur C. Guyton, John E. Hall ISBN: 0721602401 Publisher: Saunders Release Date: 01 September, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 11459	I bought both this book and Costanzo for my first year physio class and loved the Guyton book. He explains everything very well so that you understand why systems work the way they do. Costanzo, while easy to read, tends to dumb the information down, and as a result, you end up memorizing facts instead of understanding concepts. At my medical school, we take the shelf as the final, and after reading Guyton I felt really prepared, whereas most of my classmates who read Costanzo felt dazed. I purchased a medical book for my graduate school class. The book was used but still in pretty good condition as the post described. The price was a great deal in comparison with what the university is charging, and the fact that my funds are limited. Customer service was very helpful in answering my questions, and my book was promptly shipped the day after I ordered it even though it was during the busy holidays. I recommend Woody's Books definitely!!! In my opinion this is the best physiology book out there. If you are just starting physiology this is the book to get. It is very good at explaining things and the fact that it never assumes you know something in any chapter makes it repeat many of the basic stuff - it just enters your head. <br /> <br />This is the best to learn as you go, to update your knowledge and to learn if you have time. However, the throughout descriptions and repetitions that make it so good, make it a bad book if you only have a few days to learn this. In that case I would recommend Ganong's.
	Physiology Third Edition With Studentconsult.com Access
	By: Linda Costanzo ISBN: 1416023208 Publisher: Saunders Release Date: 03 April, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 17854	fantastic. This book is an awesome read. very well written, concise, great figures. I use this and the brs physio from costanzo and they are both great. This the most clearly written physiology book out there. Very concise with helpful figures. Costanzo knows her stuff! This is a great physiology text! This book helped me get through physiology, and although it is not the perfect medical text (it doesn't go into the detail that some of the other books do), it's very concise and clear in its explanations. I found it very easy to read and a great study resource.
	Essential Biology with Physiology (2nd Edition) (Campbell Biology Websites Series)
	By: Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece, Eric J. Simon, Larry Mitchell ISBN: 0805368418 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 13 October, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 25462	My 16 year old just finished this book for homeschool biology. It was comprehensive, thorough, yet easy for her to follow. The illustrations are excellent and prolific. It had quizes she could take to track her progress. I highly recommmend this book for high school biology. I used this book to homeschool my 13 year old daughter, who went on to obtain a 750 on the SAT II Biology. I also taught a class to homeschoolers using THE WAY LIFE WORKS (much cheaper) as the main text, but using many of the CD-ROM activites from ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY as class material. I especially liked the MendAliens for genetics problems! There are many useful activites, quizzes, and chapter tests, wonderful graphics. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand "essential" biology.
