	Understanding Human Anatomy & Physiology
	By: Sylvia S. Mader, Patrick L. Galliart ISBN: 0072468068 Publisher: Mcgraw-Hill College Release Date: March, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 989122	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.

	The Massage connection: Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology
	By: Kalyani, Dr. Premkumar ISBN: 0968073018 Publisher: Vanpub Books Release Date: 01 September, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 883714	I used this as a basic text for anatomy/physiology in my massage therapy school. I found quite a few errors throughout the text, but overall, it was a simple to read and understand textbook. I felt that the text went into much more detail than was necessary on some aspects and not nearly enough on others. I will probably use this again until I find something that is more in tune with what a good massage therapy A&P text should be, maybe write one myself. The overlays in the back were a good idea as were the self exams although many of the answers were incorrect. Probably one of the strongest aspects of this book are the illustrations. They are certainly not of Netter's quality but not bad. This book is a disappointment. I've read through half of the first section and been dismayed to find approximately one to two grammer and/or spelling mistakes per page, on average. I've also come across at least one flat-out factual inaccuracy and found my jaw gaping at the oversimpification of the science. Simplification is one thing, simplification to the point of being misleading is another thing. So far I've found this book to be written at a sixth to seventh grade level. This is insulting. That said, I'm sure there is good information in this book; however, if I find myself in unfamiliar territory I don't think I'll be able to trust it based on what I've seen so far. So, bottom line: beware. If you have a poor or nonexistent science background this book might be just the thing. If you've always been a science buff, skip it. If you do buy, just remember that you shouldn't believe everything you read. Good luck. The Massage Connection: Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology is a complete introduction and survey to massage that is completely reader friendly and features objectives, test questions, case studies, pathology relevant to topics, and simplified, clear diagrams. The Massage Connection is enhanced with photographs with overlays for learning surface anatomy, location of muscles and fiber directions. It also features current information about pain, neoplasia, inflammation, healing, aging, and stress as they pertain to massage. This coilbound reference book is highly recommended for students of massage and a very useful reference for even the most experienced massage practitioner. Also highly recommended is VanPub Books' Interactive Pathology For Massage Therapists a book/cd-rom set which deals with over 400 diseases and provides everything a masseuse should know about infection prevention, safe practice, and much, much more.
