Text books have come a long way since I bought a second hand copy of Gray's Anatomy in about 1964. Frankly, I was blown away by this text book. It's not just the quality of the illustrations (in full colour) but also the way in which the information is synthesised, put into context, with overviews and detailed breakdowns. OK, I haven't read the whole text and probably never will. but I did delve into a few sections that interested me and was just so impressed at the way the authors had show more explained and illustrated their sections. Not only that but they also had little tips and summary tables. It makes the learning experience so much easier than I recall it as an undergraduate. I checked out the section on metabolism because I'd studied this in biochemistry and nutrition, (and, I think, in zoology) but I've never seen it as well explained as in this book. Maybe, I'll come back to this review later when I've read or consulted more of it. But very impressed so far. An easy five stars from me. show less
Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology helps students succeed in the challenging A&P course with an easy-to-understand narrative, precise visuals, and steadfast accuracy. Every chapter of the Tenth Edition includes one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics and processes. New Clinical Cases open every chapter and get students thinking about the chapter content in the context of a compelling patient story.
The Book was well writen and and informative on the topic of Anatomy and Physiology. It gose into great detail for a 12 grade level understanding and comprehention. In all for its purpose its well fitting and easy to understand. In all its a great book for a person to get an idea of the field of how the body functions.
