	Anatomy and Physiology the Easy Way (Barron's Easy Way Series)
	By: I. Edward Alcamo Ph.D., Barbara Krumhardt ISBN: 0764119796 Publisher: Barron's Educational Series Release Date: 17 November, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 65767	Anatomy and Physiology the Easy Way is a great book that summarizes and really drives home the main point of A&P classes. I bought it after I'd taken the first semester and wished that I'd had it all along. 1st semester I got a high B, but now I'm at a startling 96% with the help of this book. GET IT! You won't be disappointed! Its a great investment, even for starving college students. this book has been a blessing to my colleagues and my-self. It has help us to understand the topics that falls under Anatomy and physiology and now for my end of term exams i will be studying strictly from this book. i used this book for my high school student and it was a simple format with understandable words.
	Cardiovascular Physiology (Lange Physiology Series)
	By: David E. Mohrman ISBN: 0071465618 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical Release Date: 27 March, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 121263	This book is great!I got it cause i needed a review and dint have the privilidge of time.Its very well written, goes through basic concepts in detail and makes it easy for the reader to go through it.Either you are a graduate student in need of some review or a clinician who needs an easy reference booklet, then this book is an excellent choice!! the mohrman text is very concisely and accurately written. very helpful diagrams and well-written (but extremely dense) text. pretty essential for my med school physiology course This book presents CV physiology very well. It highlights all the important concepts of the subject and includes good examples and adequate diagrams. The material is presented in a clear fashion. I wish I had this book during my medical physiology course, but I am glad I have it now and I plan on reading it a couple of times for Step I review. The only thing this book could use are some charts and tables, but in conjunction with BRS Physiology, I feel like I can master this subject for the boards.
	BRS Physiology Cases and Problems (Board Review Series)
	By: Linda S Costanzo ISBN: 078176078X Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 01 April, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 49126	I have to disagree with the other reviewers on this. If I could go back I would have gotten the BRS Physiology book, as opposed to this cases and problems. This book is only really effective perhaps as an add on to the BRS book. Each system has about 6-8 cases in it, and a lot of material is not covered. I was especially annoyed by the lack of reproductive system material (which consisted of 3 cases dealing with ambiguous sex syndromes). What about normal reproductive physiology? This book highlights the big points, and the explanations to the questions are very thorough, but if you are looking for an all in one comprehensive book, Id choose the BRS physio. This just seems like an attempt to sell more books by taking some info from the other book and putting it in vignette question/answer form I had this book during first year phys and only did a few cases from it (not enough time). But once I started reviewing for Step 1, I went through the whole book - fantastic! <br /> <br />I started my review for each systems chapter in First Aid by doing the corresponding cases in Costanzo. This gave me an in-depth, conceptual review, which is what you need for Step 1. And, it's hard to have the discipline to work through the physiology; these cases help you really understand the material. Highly recommended. Just wish I ahd more time to go over this book. It's an excellent preparation for course exams. It helped boost my grade. They do go a bit boring on the mathematical explanations and calculations.
	Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts
	By: Richard E Klabunde ISBN: 078175030X Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 01 July, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 170325	I purchased this book to help me review for the cardiology section of first-year physiology course in veterinary school. Although the book focuses on the human heart, it has great descriptions of ion-channels, vector-loop diagrams, the cardiac cycle, neurohumoral regulation, and more with review questions for each chapter to help you learn the material. My only complaint is that the images are not in the beautiful coloring seen on the front cover but are primarily grayscale with a few red lines throw in. Regardless, the text and figures included were immensely helpful in improving my understanding of te material.
	Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function 4th Edition
	By: Kenneth S. Saladin ISBN: 0073228044 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Release Date: 01 February, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 179678	I thought the graphics in this book are AMAZING, but the text is not that great.... <br />There are a lot of terms in bold that are not explained. The index is not very helpful in finding the terms; even basic terms that should be directed to a page(s) number. <br />Overall, I gave this book a "3 star" simply because the graphics are really helpful. If it were not for the graphics, it would be a "1" I really like this textbook. There were a variety of pictures and diagrams that helped me out a lot, and it definitely clarified the information that I got in lecture! This is a text book, and it's written like one. It's a hard read. I believe you could find a book a little easier to understand. But if you speak the language it would be great. It has excellent pictures, diagrams and tables which are very helpful.
	Review of Medical Physiology
	By: William F. Ganong ISBN: 0071440402 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical Release Date: 08 March, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 40563	A must have for any student nurse anesthetist during didactics. Good book to keep throughout your professional career. I read Guyton's for med school and I only read this book when I was studyig for the Post grad entrance exam in India. This is the real deal: If you love internal medicine, you must have this book.Beg borrow or steal it. <br />Its the best Pathophysiology text ever written. <br />I would have given in 6 stars if they would have let me. This textbook is a very detailed writing with some explanation of basic physiology. It is a difficult read for a beginning text and needs to be backed up with supplemental information if you are learning from this text as a first line of education. I feel it is a very good review of physiology already understood with an in depth explanation into more detailed physiology.
	Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition
	By: Jack H. Wilmore, David Costill, W. Larry Kenney ISBN: 0736055835 Publisher: Human Kinetics Publishers Release Date: November, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 121634	The book goes a little deeper into the world of humans and sport. It touches on common themes like cell/muscle anatomy, energy systems, adaptations to training, nutrition etc. If you have read on these topics in the past, you'll find this book helpful as it reviews the basics and then probes just a little bit deeper into the subjects. One of my better school books :-) <br />It is a technical book with good illustrations and pictures. I would grade it as an intermediate level material. You can read this as a beginner but it would be a slow read as you'd have to get a understanding of all the concepts...It is like reading an upgraded version of college biology - first time it's a lot of studying, the second time you'll review and pic up on new little details... <br /> I'm electrical engineer but I enjoy practicing and learning about sports and exercise physiology. <br />I consider reading this book better than buying thousands of sport/fitness magazines because the last one are not, in general, scientifically founded and full of wrong (market driven an potentially dangerous for your health) information. Of course, if you are not a exercise physiologist or do not have an undergraduate degree in correlated area you can have some difficult to cope with the book, but a basic knowledge in chemistry and biology can help to overcome most of them and learn the foundations. <br />Additionally, the book offers hundreds of references which can be helpful for further reading. This book is excellent consolidation of reference material which is sensibly divided into logical chapters.<p>It covers every area of sport performance in well-documented and example-driven text, colour diagrams and graphical representations. It is a generic reference book, which does not focus on specific sports activities, but uses examples from a wide range of sports to demonstrate the body's response to exercise, training and the passage of time.<p>I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a detailed overview of the physiological responses to training, or needs specific answers to questions. An excellent index and layout also makes this a good reference book for looking up quick answers to problems. Absolutely worth the cost. Only criticism... there is a slightly schizophrenic approach to units of measure, reflecting the US imperial measurements, Keep a calculator handy to convert to SI units (eg Kgs, Kms, etc)
	Anatomy and Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing
	By: Anthony J. Seikel, Douglas W. King, David G. Drumright ISBN: 1401825818 Publisher: Singular Release Date: 17 February, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 235626	This book is well written and explains the material with great detail so that anyone can understand it clearly. I am very satisfied with the purchase. The best thing is that this book has a CD-rom that gives you simplified with tests every one the the chapters. You can practice your knowledge gained at the end of every chapter using written tests. <br /> <br />I would have liked if the images had color. They're all white and black or drawings (which are really good too). I'm pleased with the book, the condition, the price. I didn't ask for rushed delivery and it took about 2 weeks to arrive.
	Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, 10th Edition
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Sandra R. Grabowski ISBN: 0471415014 Publisher: Wiley Release Date: 15 June, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 112507	I thought I ordered the entire book. I received only one volume of a 12 volume set. My anatomy teacher told us that a very high percentage of students that use this book fail the class. I don't know where he got this information, and after getting to know him, he might have been saying that to scare us into studying more. The material is very in depth, but it is also very clear. Personally, I really liked this textbook and the class - so much in fact that I sold the second-hand copy I used in class and bought a brand new one on Amazon for my personal library. It came with a CD that was very helpful, and also with a year of free access to an online site with excellent quizes and photographs. (At least it did when I bought mine) I have had occassion to refer back to it since I took the class some years ago, and expect to refer to it in the future as well. Oh man! I studied countless hours with this book. It beats around the bush, gives an incredable amount of definitions and makes it boring! The pictures did not help at all, all I did was ready over and over and over and over again. There is a lot of understanding in anatomy and this book did not help at all. I would suggest taking anatomy at a community college where this book is not used
	Plant Physiology
	By: Lincoln Taiz, Eduardo Zeiger ISBN: 0878938567 Publisher: Sinauer Associates, Inc. Release Date: 01 June, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 161781	EXCELLENT book! I needed a suppliment to a Plant Phys course I was taking which didn't assign a book, purely lecture based. This book has great graphics and is easy to read! Well, this is a great beginner's textbook to Plant Physiology, especially when you have very little background in the field. (I major in Physics and took Plant Physiology as an elective.) The text is quite easy to understand, and there are great diagrams to complement the text. However, the text is getting a little bit out of date, as new plant hormones and genes are being discovered at a rapid pace right now. Overall, it was a pretty nice book for someone being introduced to the field. I teach plant physiology at the University of paris. I have bought the first edition of this boor five years ago and I have bought the new one about one month ago. It was a concise, clear and well up to date documented review. I appreciate particularly all the section on bioenergetic and transport in solutes in relation with morphology and development of the plant. I appreciate also very much the part on the influence of the light either for the classical phytochrome or to the appartition of the effect on the blue light. Scheme are simple, but precise and well descibed. This book was a very good intermediate between books of pure biochemistry or pure morphology.All information is integrated and well discussed. In the domain of the plant physiology I think really on my knowledge that this book was actually, in the domain of the plant physiology, one of the best review, and perhaps the better.
