This book was required by my PA program as a crash course A&P the first few weeks. It was a mandatory purchase, which I now lament. The book is obviously well written and organized with great graphics, but is not appropriate for med school or PA school use. It has great explanations, but lacks depth. Great for undergraduate overview, but coming from a physiology background, this book just sat on my shelf.
Bought this for massage therapy school. It has beautiful graphics and the provided cd is great, but the text itself is not great. I've used other textbooks at the university that were much more clear.
I had to get this book for a Public health course- it has everything you need to study for a basic medical course-I would have appreciated more interactive multiple choices (quizes) and they should go with the answer key to the book. But a good study book.
I am not going to get to deep into this as I purchased it for college. The curriculum was written around the book so the of course the book is going to be a great resource for the class. All I can say is that the book was well written and laid out logically.
I needed this book for my anatomy class and it is very informative.I had to buy another one after awhile though because i bought it used and because i used it so much it was falling apart. So if you plan on buying this, buy a new one! Glad i purchased it!
This is the book to have! I am currently studying for the Diploma of Enrolled Nursing, and this book has been an enormous help with my assessments. The CD is fantastic for all those visual learners out there (like me) and it came packed with information on resourses and e libraries, that are easily accessed with the user name and password provided inside the cover. Buy it, it's worth every cent!
I like the book because it is easy to study, especially compared to trying to study the e-book at school. The eleventh edition does seem to have the advantage of having good summaries at the end of each chapter that the 12 edition doesn't have. I haven't had time to look at the CD or use the workbook, so I can't comment on them.
Typical textbook. Perfect for this class, but very user friendly format. Anyone could learn with this book and its color plates.
