Product Description
An informative new title in Barron?s Essential Atlas series, the Essential Atlas of Physiology complements succinct and enlightening text with full-color photos, illustrations, and diagrams on every page. It describes the human body and all of its functions. Following a general introduction, separate spreads focus on all major topics of physiology. The digestive system is described and illustrated with attention to the teeth, stomach, intestines, liver, and the way in which nutrients from food are assimilated into the body. Following sections describe the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the brain, spine, and nervous system, muscles and their functions, the kidneys and urinary system, the male and female reproductive systems, and the lymphatic system. Like all other titles in this series, the Essential Atlas of Physiology makes a good home reference volume, and is also ideal for classroom and school library use. Color illustrations on every page.
Review
I teach Key Stage 3 (Grades 6-8), Key Stage 4 (Grade 9) and IGSCE science. I use this book regularly. Most of my students are ESL students and the book is an effective supplement to class texts for its concise topic presentation and its easy to follow graphics.
A very succinct book with a large number of good but very small illustrations at a fair price. The book is marred by sloppy labels and poor grammar. I was considering the book for use of a beginning physiology class but it will not be used.
a good simple book to understand the basic terms and concepts

Review
I have used this book in my studies a lot, and it is a very good guide to understanding the human body. It is more in depth than most books on this subject, and each chapters ends with the most common diseased associated with that part of the human body you have just read about. It is a very well illustrated book, with clear explanations and summary's at the end of each paragraph to test your intake of the information. I can highly recommend it.
This book truly covers a wide range of Anatomy and Physiology while remaining focused on the healing aspect. This book is excellent for anyone studying medicine on any level. Easy to read and incredibly informative.

Product Description
This text provides the reader an understanding of the mechanics of the joints with the help of diagrams rather than text. The commentaries are short (on double page spreads); the quality, clarity and simplicity of the drawings and diagrams are such that they could be understood without any verbal explanation. The drawings are unusually clear: everything which could hinder understanding has been removed and one feels that the author has foreseen the difficulties which the student could encounter. Each time a problem arises it is explained by a diagram which, though simplified, is extremely clear.New functional tests for the shoulder, the elbow and the handExplanation of why the forearm has two bonesA logical and mathematical explanation of the so called CODMANN ParadoxNew conceptions of the physiology of the carpusClear explanation of notions as DISI and VISI for the pathology of the carpusNew cotation of the thumb opposition and counter-opposition, presently integrated in the International EvaluationFundamental notion of the complex grip-plus-action, very important for the evaluation of the function of the handSymbolic and affective value of the handA comprehensive board of the motor nerves of the upper limbNew test to detect an ulnar palsy at the forearm
Review
These books by Kapandji are written so that they can be read and understood at a very elementary level, but also tackles very advanced concepts. They also have very good mechanical drawings explaining physiological processes that occur at the joints.
I couldn't wait for this revised version of the Volume One: Upper Limb to be released, and I was not disappointed. Unlike the traditional Kapandji figures, the volume is in full color, but in the same style of illustration as before. In most cases, the color adds to the understanding of the concept and is not just gratuitous. In addition, however, there is much more detailed explanation of the mechanics, more clinical application, and the addition of some intruiging questions in biomechanics such as "Codman's Paradox" and "Why Does the Forearm Have Two Bones?" This is a thoroughly delightful expansion of a work that I first discovered in 1976 and which has changed little since then. The drawings remain incomparably lucid, yet detailed. Interestingly, this edition includes an index, something that has been missing from previous editions of any of the 3 volumes. Yet, there is no bibliography, which was included in the 5th Edition of Volume 2: Lower Limb. My only criticism is that Elsevier has not made a teaching slide set (CD) of the drawings available to those of us who use these in our lectures.

The relevance to respiratory care practice clearly sets this resource apart, with clinical scenarios to challenge your application of principles and formulas as well as numerous illustrations of common pathological conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and asthma.
Review
This is not a very expensive text book for it's category. All the same it is a well written book by a reputable author and staff. The book demands that you pay full attention to every word in it's text. I mean that the text is written in a concise manner by a professional for the novice. Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you are studying. A solid basic knowledge of first year anatomy and physiology is essential. It wouldn't hurt to have your A&P text beside you. The author assumes that the student knows the basics and does not go into basic discussions but builds on each topic. Understand that this is a challenging text book pulling together all facets of A&P with full emphasis on Respiratory Care. I personally find this text book a pleasant challenge. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal here is to be capable of keeping someone breathing. After all if you can't breath nothing else matters!
This book is really helpful if you're just starting out in Respiratory Therapy, the illusrations are great. The book is easy to read and understand. Great reference book. There are charts and quick references you can either cut out of the book or photo copy and have as a handy pocket guide.
