	The Physiology of Excitable Cells
	By: David J. Aidley ISBN: 0521574218 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Release Date: 28 September, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 62868	David Aidley's 4th edition text is superb for the graduate student in experimental cellular neurophysiology. This text does not cover neuroanatomy or systems neurophysiology. That is probably a weakness for those students hoping to have a comprehensive review book such as Principles of Neural Science by Kandel & Schwartz. Strengths of the book include discussion of Hodgkin-Huxley equations, ion channel kinetics equations, entropy equations, pearls of wisdom related to different aquatic species, etc. LTP and LTD are covered well. Receptor physiology is discussed better in this book than any other with the exception of Handbook of Physiology Receptors Springer by Lowenstein. Cortical neurophysiology is weak here. If you had to choose between this book and other cellular neurophysiology books, you cannot go wrong with this one. Cellular Biophysics: Electrical Phenomenon by Weiss and Foundations of Cellular Neurophysiology by Wu & Johnston are two others to look at that are more complex than Aidley's book. It is a shame that David Aidley died in 2001 so that a 5th edition of this outstanding textbook will not be available. So, You're in grad school or a major in Neurobiology and you are looking to see if the book is worth the money??<p>This book does not give core facts in a easy to regurgitate format.Don't read this a day before your exam.<p>What the book gives you and does better than any other neurobiology book I know about (yes,that's a tall claim, but Im comfortable making it) is a clear and concise walk through the relevant ideas and experiments that went into building a simple 'taken for granted' concept like say the synaptic vesicles.<p>This book more than any other made me see the facts I read in tons of other books through the eye of an experimentalist and I had a clear appreciation of the thought that went towards designing an experiment and interpreting the result.I'm not sure if this would be the best book to read for an introduction to Neurobiology but if you have some background this is a book you would like to come back to again and again. I am a first year graduate student in Neurobiology, and our class was assigned Aidley as our text for Neurophysiology. In short: this class has now become much more difficult because of Aidley's hard to follow style. He gives numerous details of experiments, but wholly fails to connect them to each other or to the reader. In addition, the numerous charts and graphs lend little support to the text since most often they are poorly explained and have little to do with the section in which they are placed. Each chapter follows a logical sequence, but the text within does not, jumping from descriptions of genetics experimental methods straight to physical chemistry. If you want to learn about Neurophysiology, there are many other texts to choose from, most of which the reader would find more interesting and more well written.
	Clinical Exercise Physiology
	By: Jonathan Ehrman, Paul Gordon, Paul Visich, Steven Keteyian ISBN: 0736002529 Publisher: Human Kinetics Publishers Release Date: May, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 696987	This is a great reference to have for anyone involved in or wanting to learn more about clinical exercise physiology. Written in a very easy to understand format with lots of up-to-date and relevant information. Well worth the investment.
	Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology
	By: Gary A. Thibodeau, Kevin T. Patton, Norman T. Lewis ISBN: 0323016308 Publisher: Mosby-Year Book Release Date: January, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 717540	i was happy with the quality of the book, would have loved a better price but it is a very big book so i understand the cost. Came in expected time. Good service. I received exactly the book I ordered in a very timely fashion. I was quite pleased. this is really a good book, good pictures and good text with<br>updated biomedical knowledge. Excellent and concise summary<br>at the end of each chapter made the book even more lovely!<br>Also it provided good application examples in terms of integreting the theory and practice. I decided to keep one at <br>hand after I read it. The one that I ordered is the hard-covered 17th version, 1106 pages.Just Excellent!
	Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Physiology: A Problem-Based Approach
	By: Mitchell L. Halperin, Marc B. Goldstein ISBN: 0721670725 Publisher: Saunders Release Date: 17 September, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 717070	This is probably one of the best textbooks on integrative physiology involving electrolytes on the market. Dr. Halperin is a phenomenal instructor and his prose makes learning interactive and interesting. Electrolytes are key to clinical medicine and surprisingly not very well understood by the medical masses. This textbook is full of examples, questions, and pearls. <br /> <br />The abundance of questions with thorough explanations is the strength of this book. An understanding of electolytes including urine electrolytes will be gained from the study of this text. <br /> <br />The target audience is really the physician with an already good grounding in acid-base disorders. It will allow one to build on past knowledge and to solidy any foundation that has already been established. I am really and truly impressed with this book and I refer to it often. Using patient-based problem solving, this text makes even the most difficult points of acid-base physiology clear. The writing style is breezy and entertaining and the layout allows you to pop in and out of various sections without the need to start from scratch. I have used the text for teaching medical students, residents and physician assistants. There is something in here for everyone. The authors' philosophy is obviously that acid-base problems are giant jig-saw puzzles and that you might as well have fun while working them.
