| It would be cool is they removed the barcode sticker from the back of the book so that we could read it. |

| This is an awesome, expansive discussion specifically on the subject of tendons. In fact, it is the only book specifically on tendon that i have been able to find. Trying to locate specifics on tendon anatomy, physiology, pathology, and histology is very frustrating but this book collects it all into one place with excellent discussion, photos, and drawings. This is the kind of subject-specific anatomy and physiology book i think we need more of. |

| "From Sound to Synapse" describes the transformation of sound waves into neural impulses that is performed by the mammalian ear. The story begins with the arrival of sound waves at the external ear and eventually leads to a characterization of the response of primary auditory neurons to speech sounds. Along the way, the basic mechanisms of the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear are discussed, using experimental observations of vertebrate ears and computed results of theoretical models to illustrate the discussion. Geisler's fascination with the mammalian ear is evident in the way he reveals new insights to the reader. His comprehensive overview provides a good theoretical basis for understanding the various processes involved in hearing. <p>The book is written in a style that does not require the reader to have a strong scientific background. Topics are introduced in a non-technical manner and mathematical equations are used sparingly. Appendices are provided to acquaint the reader with background topics such as Fourier theory, acoustic resonances, and impedance. Other background information is introduced in text, as needed. |

| Pre-hospital medicine desperately needs a better text for anatomy & physiology and pathophysiology. Most EMS courses are too short, considering the responsibilities of the profession. The allied health and nursing texts cover A&P material that would certainly be nice to know, but the time constraints force us to find something more directed to the needs of the field. EMS personnel deal with VERY sick patients and need to know more of the pathophysiology of shock. <p>Yamamoto and Brada take a shot at trying to fill those needs but come up short. Several places in the book the authors confuse the reader. I thought I had a good idea about which fluids could be used in place of others in IV therapy, after reading the explanation in the book I am confused. Unfortunately the authors just flat get some things wrong. Atherosclerosis is shown collecting on the lumen of an artery, as opposed to between the walls of the artery.<p>This book is better than just the textbook alone if you want a short supplement that is not too expensive. If you want to get it all, and get the details correct, you might want to chose another text.
This text is great. It focuses on the parts of the human anatomy that are pratical and esential to the EMT, at any level! A great study guide for EMT students. |
