Review This book is identical to her previous ed. with Apolo Anton Ohno on it. All she has done to this newer book with Serena Williams on it is to add about 3 pages, changed her color coding, ISBN # and cover photo. You end up going out to get this book because it's newer and you spend tons of money on it when it is the same identical book to her earlier editions. Buy this book used, check it out of a library or look into her earlier edition. For to buy this book new is a huge waste of money going straight out of your pocketbook into Marieb's pocketbook. I suspect textbook authors notoriously do this just to make more money off of a book. It was an accurate description of the book condition. I received it in a few days as promised. Thank you. I'm 45 and decided to go back to school to become a nurse. I haven't been in school since 1987, so I was a bit nervous. Anatomy & Physiology I was the fist class I signed up for and this was the book we had to get. I can't tell you how wonderful a learning tool this book is (and the corresponding lab book). Sure, I'm in a different mind set now than I was at 19 (in the 1980's), but this book is written extremely well. The class is hard, but the text AND especially the diagrams and photos are so helpful. I got an A in A&P I, and have an A+ in A&P II right now. It's weird, but I am going to miss this class when it's over. Kudos to the writers of this book!!
	BRS Physiology (Board Review Series) by: Linda S Costanzo publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2006-07-01 ISBN: 0781773113 sales rank: 2230 Product Description Thoroughly updated for its Fourth Edition, BRS Physiology is an excellent aid for students preparing for the USMLE Step 1. The book concisely reviews key physiological principles and includes clinical correlations throughout to emphasize connections between basic physiology and clinical medicine. Numerous illustrations, tables, and flow charts help students visualize material quickly and aid in long-term retention. End-of-chapter USMLE-style questions and a comprehensive end-of-book exam test the student's problem-solving skills, and clearly explained answers guide the student through the correct steps in reasoning. This edition features increased coverage of pathophysiology, new questions, and a new two-color design and artwork. Review This book is good for learning physiology. But you must not depend on the questions part. Questions look as if they were prepared in a haste just to be done for the sake of form. A lot of questions that don't teach much. I still havent received this product and it has been about 5-6 weeks. I have contacted the seller and still have not had a response. This book came highly recommended from an upperclassman. It's short, sweet, and to the point. It presents medical physiology in a clear and logical manner, making it easy to understand and assimilate.
	Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology by: David Shier, Jackie Butler, Ricki Lewis publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, published: 2009-01-06 ISBN: 0077276183 sales rank: 52305 Product Description Learn. Practice. Assess. Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology was created for the introductory level student and assumes no prior science knowledge by placing emphasis on the fundamentals. This new edition updates a great A&P classic while offering greater efficiencies to the user. The format for the 12th edition focuses on Learning Outcomes and Assessments. This will benefit the student along with the instructor. The 12th edition of Hole also continues to offer technology that combined with the text offer users an incredible Course Solution! Technology like Anatomy and Physiology Revealed and the new online Homework Manager bring unprecedented opportunities to the classroom whether on campus or at home! Review IT was the best deal!!! saved like idon't know around 40 % off other sites were close but this one is a eye grabber! This book came in the condition as specified in the listing. I appreciate the timliness of the transaction. I would do business with this seller again. This book flows nicely. It gets straight to the point without being overly wordy. Anatomy is not the easiest subject for me, but this book does a good job of explaining the human body and it's functions very clearly and concisely. The diagrams are plentiful and clearly show all viscera, muscles and bones. These authors make use of drawings and cadavers. You really begin to understand the workings of the body systems and exact locations of all bones, muscles and cavities from posterior, anterior, lateral, and ipsilateral views....absolutely every angle and region is covered. A good amount of pathology is included within this book.
	Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by: Gerard J. Tortora, Bryan H. Derrickson publisher: Wiley, published: 2008-04-02 ISBN: 0470084715 sales rank: 3412 Product Description The new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp. Review Very happy with book an how quickly it came, but was disappointed that cd didn't come with it. For being a new book like it said thought cd would come with. Otherwise I am happy with it. Would probably buy again from you. The way this book guided me thru the anatomy with the illustrations and clinical interesting points was very useful. I really enjoyed learning from it andspecially using the website as an aid to memorizing. ASIN:0470084715 Principles of Anatomy and Physiology I guess I should of read the small print, international edition. But when I saw on the back of the book , not for sale in the US I wanted to return it back to India where it came from. It took forever to arrive and now I know why. They wouldn't take it back. Poor poor customer service, slow mail, never to shop there again...
	Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies by: Donna Rae Siegfried publisher: For Dummies, published: 2002-05-01 ISBN: 0764554220 sales rank: 4874 Product Description Some people think that knowing about what goes on inside the human body can sap life of its mystery. Which is too bad for them, because anybody who?s ever taken a peak under the hood knows that the human body, and all its various structures and functions, is a realm of awe-inspiring complexity and countless wonders. The dizzying dance of molecule, cell, tissue, organ, muscle, sinew, and bone that we call life can be a thing of breathtaking beauty and humbling perfection. No one should be denied access to this spectacle because they don?t come from a scientific background. And now, thanks to Anatomy and Physiology For Dummies, no one needs to be. Whether you?re an aspiring health-care or fitness professional or just somebody who?s curious about the human body and how it works, this book offers you a fun, easy way get a handle on the basics of anatomy and physiology. In no time you?ll: Understand the meanings of terms in anatomy and physiology Get to know the body?s anatomical structures?from head to toe Explore the body?s systems and how they interact to keep us alive Gain insights into how the structures and systems function in sickness and health Understand the human reproductive system and how it creates new life Written in plain English and illustrated with dozens of beautiful illustrations, Anatomy and Physiology For Dummies covers everything from atoms to cells to organs, including: Anatomic position and the divisions of the body Increasingly magnified aspects of the body, from atoms to organs to systems The anatomy and pathophysiology of the skeleton, muscles and skin The anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology of the nervous, endocrine and circulatory systems The anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the respiratory, digestive, urinary and immune systems The anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the reproductive system Keeping the body healthy through good nutrition Don?t miss this opportunity to learn about your body from the inside out. Let Anatomy and Physiology For Dummies be your guide on a fantastic voyage through a world of countless wonders. Review I do recommend Anatomy & Physiology for Dummies, but I found 'Anatomy DeMystified' by D. Dale Layman more useful that provided concise, detailed information. To be honest these courses, especially at the college level, are tough. I used several resources to gleam pertinent, understandable information from each. (multiple books, school text, inter-net, notes, etc...) I received an A in both Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 using a wide variety of digestible information beyond the difficult, very technical college text book. Just my 2-cents. Good-luck or should I say, break a leg! I bought this book so that I could get some of the basics down before taking some college Anatomy/Physiology classes. Most of the book is easy to follow and it does cover the basics of the differnt systems in the body. Some of the chemical charts may be confusing to understand. Overall this book served my purpose and I feel I have a good foundation for my college classes. Pretty much anyone with a highschool level of education should beable to follow most of this book espcially if the topic interests you. I found this to be a really good overview of the A&P basics before starting the class. I understood what the professor was talking about from day 1 because I read this book before the class started. Having the learning curve reduced in a difficult class certainly makes a huge difference grade wise. I have the kindle version and while the graphics are not the best, I found that reading it with Netter's flashcards along side was extremely helpful (and very compatable while traveling). Overall I would highly recommend this book as a good general overview for all students who are required to take A&P for school.

Review Ok everyone raves about this book. It is true that this book covers everything you need to know. However, the trick is not to get lost in their ridiculously long explanations that are repeated over and over and over each chapter. Seriously, this book could be condensed to half the size. Further, they mention a couple sentences about a concept and then quit and say "more on this to come later". They probably do that about a thousand times. Truthfully, i just got annoyed by reading the book. It is obnoxious and everything, from their graphs to their flow charts, is made to sound more complicated that it has to be and is encoded in erroneous/needless fluff. Medical students do not have much time, THAT IS TO SAY time is valuable, WHICH MEANS there is not much of it, SO YOU COULD CONCLUDE you should use time efficiently AND THIS MEANS... - if you found the previous sentence pointless and annoying, go with something else, perhaps BRS! "I ordered "The Textbook of Medical Physiology" 11th edition by Guyton and Hall. The books (a 2 volume set) came but the covers look like they have water damage and the pages look photocopied. The text was supposed to have colored pictures, but they are all black and white. The binding is broken on both of the books and when you open the books the pages are not firmly attached and are falling out in clumps due to binding problems. The covers are not firmly attached to the binding of the book either. Overall, these appear to be copies of the text, and nothing similar to the actual book. It's almost as if it was photocopied and put in a binding. The print doesn't even line up properly on the page The figures are only partially visible, and there is noticeable outlining (like from photo copying). Having seen several copies of the book, this is definitely NOT the original text. ". I sent a few emails which were answered and they refused to refund my money claiming I could have already read the 1000 pages of the text book. Over all I WILL NOT AND WOULD NOT buy anything from this seller. Good detailed explanations. I wish there were more explanatory diagrams, tho. I will keep this text even after the class - good reference
	Human Anatomy & Physiology with IP-10 CD-ROM (7th Edition) (MyA&P Series) by: Elaine N.

Review This is an excellent book. However the reason I gave it an eye catching 1 star with 'Save Your Money' tag is because I think it is best to get the older version or the 6th edition. The 6th ed. is the blue and white cover book with Apolo Ohno on it. It will be much cheaper than the 7th ed. I checked the 6th ed. out of my library while waiting on my 7th ed. to come in the mail. When my 7th ed. Serena Williams came in the mail, I decided to go thru both books at the same time and see for myself if there were any differences or variations. The only real differences that I found was of course the huge price difference, change of cover photo and just a tad bit more pages, but the most important thing is that both books are the exact same thing from beginning to end with the exact illustrations. I know that alot of the 7th ed.s come with the IP or Interactive Physiology cd. Truth is, alot of professors will give this IP to you for free if you ask. They have their own password that you can use, or you can purchase this IP cd set on ebay for a fraction of the cost. Save money! This is a fantastic A&P book for pre-med or pre-pharm studies. I also own Guyton & Hall's Textbook of Medical Physiology 11th ed, but I tend to gravitate toward this book because it is less cryptic than Guyton's. The illustrations are a great aid for folks like me who need visual aids and not just page upon page of text. There are anatomical illustrations and pictures of actual dissections, along with some helpful flow charts. Relevant pics & figures explain concepts that meld well with molecular biology and anatomy lab. I have yet to use the CD that came with the book. Overall, a great addition to my library. I highly recommend this book! The book is very helpful and needed it for class, it came with a visual of where the bones and muscles were.
	Anatomy and Physiology Revealed Version 2.0 CD by: Medical College Ohio publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, published: 2007-07-05 ISBN: 0073378070 sales rank: 4858 Product Description Anatomy & Physiology Revealed is the ultimate interactive cadaver dissection experience. This state-of-the-art program uses cadaver photos combined with a layering technique that allows the student to peel away layers of the human body to reveal structures beneath the surface. Anatomy & Physiology Revealed also offers animations, histologic and radiologic imaging, audio pronunciations, and a comprehensive quizzing tool. It can be used as part of any one or two semester undergraduate anatomy & physiology or human anatomy course; Anatomy & Physiology Revealed is available stand-alone, or can be combined with any of McGraw-Hill's anatomy & physiology textbooks. Review i am very pleased with the cost of this item and how quickly i recieved it. This CD was required for my A+P class, and was bundled with our textbook at the bookstore. That said, anyone who bought their textbooks used most likely did NOT get a CD, and have been hunting for a copy to use. McGraw Hill might be happy that their product is in demand, and that the college kids can't figure out how to copy it yet. There's a reason why: the crazy copy protection on the disk. The software can easily tell if the disk is fake or not, because it loads proprietary drivers onto your computer without notifying you. Note: the software isn't even 'installed,' it's literally run off of the CD. My experience of this came after several days of Vista Blue screening for no obvious reason. When I did some research on the file causing this (acedrv09.sys), I found that it was part of the ProtectDISC technology incorporated into the disk. After visiting the ProtectDISC website, my options were to 'upgrade the drivers.' This is completely ridiculous. Why should I have to reinstall custom(and deceptive) drivers on my computer for a single, educational CD? Especially when it had already been proven to screw up computers, keep that stuff away from me. For the record: the CD says it supports Vista, and has absolutely no mention of copy protection or loading driver files onto your computer. If you're an A+P student, there are plenty of free 3d anatomy model websites (try VisibleBody), that don't force spyware crap onto your computer. It is a good program, however, it did not work on the the newest operating system with Mac os x leapord. I had to order the online version after I ordered the cd rom. They are in the process of updating the cd rom.
	Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (9th Edition) (Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (Marieb)) by: Elaine N. Marieb publisher: Benjamin Cummings, published: 2008-01-13 ISBN: 0321513428 sales rank: 16017 Product Description Elaine Marieb's clear and friendly writing style emphasizes the relevance of anatomy and physiology to students' lives and careers. It clarifies concepts, defines key terms, and offers just the right balance of anatomy, physiology, and clinical coverage to make the content complete without being overwhelming. The Human Body: An Orientation, Basic Chemistry, Cells and Tissues, Skin and Body Membranes, The Skeletal System, The Muscular System, The Nervous System, Special Senses, The Endocrine System, Blood, The Cardiovascular System, The Lymphatic System and Body Defenses, The Respiratory System, The Digestive System and Body Metabolism, The Urinary System,The Reproductive System. For those interested in learning the essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Review I never received my book. I sent an e-mail to the seller (sonia) letting them know I did not receive the book and they never got back to me. I do not recommend anyone to purchase books from this seller. Amazon was great (always is) they refunded my money. I Purchase a lot of books through Amazon and they have always arrived with 2-3 days. Received book in a timely manner and was in the condition described in the ad. I ordered this book as a requirement for my human anatomy and physiology course. Although the ISBN listed was for 987-0321513427, I received ISBN: 987-0321513533 instead. So far there hasn't been a problem aside from the page discrepancies. As long as the professor lists the sections that will be covered, the page numbers shouldn't be a problem.
	Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function 4th Edition by: Kenneth S. Saladin publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, published: 2007-02-01 ISBN: 0073228044 sales rank: 12232 Product Description From the completely new, exceptional art program, to the complete integration of the text with technology, Saladin has formed a teaching solution that will both motivate and enable your students to understand and appreciate the wonders of anatomy and physiology. This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other A&P texts with unparalleled art, a writing style that has been acclaimed by both users and reviewers and clinical coverage that offers the perfect balance without being too much. Saladin?s well-accepted organization of topics is based upon the most logical physiological ties between body systems. The text requires no prior knowledge of college chemistry or cell biology, and is designed for a two-semester A&P college course. Review Book came well before the time it was suppost to. Very happy with service. The product came quickly and as advertised. It had a little too many highlighting and writing than I would've like, but overall good quality. I had to use this book for A&P 1 and 2. It was ok to start with and the website was better than the book, but I couldn't find a way to stay awake while trying to understand the content. It didn't explain technical terms very well and it was teaching the material as if the reader already knew the material not necessarily learning it new. I didn't have much biology in high school since I was home schooled and I felt as though I was quite dumb while trying to understand this book. I passed with a B both times but I had to stop trying to use the text for studying because I couldn't stay awake. Informative but dreadfully exhaustive...
