| I think, this book is better than other reviews of physiology for the USMLE step 1 (for example, "BRS Physiology", "USMLE Road Map: Physiology", and "Rapid Review: Physiology") - it's much better illustrated, focuses only on the most relevant topics, and, at the same time, nothing, what is high yield, is missing here. The author - Dr. Carroll - is the man, who creates physiology MCQs for the USMLE step 1, so, I guess, he knows exactly, what material will be tested on the actual exam - and, I hope, he has presented what he knows in his book. One word of caution only - "Elsevier's Integrated Physiology" doesn't contain neurophysiology - Elsevier's Integrated series has a separate title for neuroanatomy and neurophysiology - "Elsevier's Integrated Neuroscience". |

| This is a great book to accompany the regular textbook of the optomotrist or the ophthalmologist in training. Very concise and yet comprehensive. This is an indispensable tool.
This book is written by several different authors. The quality of writing varies greatly. This is a short book that seems to be written to impress the reader with how smart the authors are. The problem is that anybody who would understand this book as written wouldn't need a quick book on eye anatomy. The first chapter is especially confusing for the novice. |

| Of course you would expect the author of the book to be positive about it. However, the only other posted review seems to be a mistaken entry. It refers to the first edition of the book (6 years older and 3 times smaller than the second edition) and gives it a low rating without any explanation. So, here are some helpful clarifications. If you are a graduate student or a scientist, you should buy the second edition, not only because it is up-to-date but also because it is much more detailed than the first edition. If you are a general reader, you may find the first edition more palatable (and you won't even notice that some scientific details have changed in the intervening 6 years). Both editions provide an overview of research on circadian rhythms and its applications. The great advantage of this book over other books on circadian rhythms is that it is a single-author book instead of an edited compilation of essays by multiple authors.
<br />
Circadian Physiology is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book on circadian rhythms targeted at life scientists who are not specialists in biological rhythms. It is accessible to researchers and general readers and can be used as a textbook for courses on biological rhythms.<p>Contents<br>Biological Clock: Facts and Hoopla<br> 1.

| Dampness and phlegm are among the most vexing elements in treating patients with Chinese Medicine. This book is the best I have seen in discussing the physiological function of jin and ye fluids, pathogenic damp and phlegm and the organ systems that deal with them.
This book gives you a lot idea of understanding in oriental medicine. It bring to you real taste of classics especially huang di nei jing and nan jing.The majority books of oriental medicine in English don't give us real picture of oriental medicine, but the book does!! One thing I want to wish is when they using pin yin, should be accompained chinese character. Great book!!!!
This book is excellent. For the advanced student or practitioner, this book enlightens the reader on all aspects of Fluid, Jin-ye, Phlegm, Dampness, and their origins. It also discusses herbs in a very interesting and useful way, comparing and contrasting phlegm and damp herbs and their specifics. This is my favorite theory book on my shelf. |

| I used this text in college and it was by far the most informative and easily read text I used. Hats off to the authors and contributors, job well done! I still use this book at work for reference, unfortunately other people feel its a great book and it was stolen. A text well worth replacing
This book is briliant for student of exercise physiology.The authors has manage to write it in a form that is easy to read, and makes the understanding of the subject easy.But yet it is not written in a way that simplifies the subject like so many other books. |
