5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the 3 in my course
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2008

I had to buy three A&P textbooks for a class I'm taking. This one is by far the best. Easy to understand, chock full of great artwork, and a nice balance between normal functioning (the biggest focus by far) versus common diseases for each system of the body (usually to highlight why normal functioning is so important). My CD was broken, so I can only use the online study tools, and they are helpful. Nice job!

I didn't receive a hardcover, I got paperback. That is okay because this is a great help. I studying online and I'm not very fond of the E-book when I'm in class. This book helps me following along better during class and I don't have to switch back and forth from E-book to my classroom screen.

There is nothing wrong with the book besides it looking old and not new. Everything is still intact. The cd is still in there as well. I think I had a really good bargain. I rather get this for $4 than almost the same thing for $50. Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but there is lots of errors
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012
Verified Purchase
I had to use this book for my anatomy class. And starting at chapter one practice test there are errors that the editor over looked. Chapter 22 is the worst, with one of the practice test answers saying that PMS is undescended testies. Now you dont need to take a class in anatomy to know women dont have testies lol
I contacted the publisher and informed them about the errors. But other then the practice tests being all screwed up it is a pretty decent book. It really helped me and I liked the way the book taught me. i ended up getting the highest grade in class by reading the book, going through the chapter vocabulary and testing my self in the practice tests... I also used the study guide :)

The private college I am attending provided us with a tablet in which we download our books. I found it to be very confusing and NOT user friendly at all, which is why I purchased this book. I absolutely love it!!

I have been using this book to write a human-bio report for uni. It has been quite useful so far. Easy to read, and has clear informative diagrams. The book was recommended by my tutor and I would recommend it to fellow students.
