One of my favorite school books (if that's possible), Aug 25 2007
By Scott M. Richards "thosewholeft" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Human Anatomy & Physiology (Hardcover)
I can't tell you how sad I was when I found out that the City Colleges of Chicago decided to use Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Tortora and Derrickson for the second course of Anatomy and Physiology instead of this book. This book does a great job of putting the subjects in an order that is good to follow, with a plethora of great photos and drawings, and puts a section called Homeostatic Imbalance right after a section and explains some problems that go wrong in the part of the human body. Most chapters even have a closer look section with a rather corny title that they think is funny with an article that is usually topical and relevant. Really go above and beyond in muscle and bone chapters (giving you both a detailed drawing and actual picture of almost everything). Also, wrote in a style that is easy to understand; goes from the basics to the details of a subject very smoothly. Even my girlfriend, who has no interest in a career in the medical world, has flipped through most of the book and asked questions or stated how awesome something is. I plan on keeping this book to reference to for a long time.

Get the older version...it's cheaper, May 20 2009
By notAyesperson "Always in search of good books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Human Anatomy & Physiology (Hardcover)
This book is identical to her previous ed. with Apolo Anton Ohno on it. All she has done to this newer book with Williams on it is to add about 3 pages, changed her color coding, ISBN # and cover photo. You spend about $50 more for a book that is identical in contents to one you can easily find on e bay for so much less.

They got it right with this one..., Sep 29 2006
By Mrs. Night Owl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Human Anatomy & Physiology (Hardcover)
This book is a fabulous learning tool. The authors really seem to understand what parts need detailed explanation and the information is presented in a way that a student can grasp it easily.I am a student of A&P 1 and have a high A in class because of the quality of the info in the book (as a supplement to lecture, of course).
