This review is from: Essential Atlas of Physiology (Barron's Essential Atlas) (Paperback)
I teach Key Stage 3 (Grades 6-8), Key Stage 4 (Grade 9) and IGSCE science. I use this book regularly. Most of my students are ESL students and the book is an effective supplement to class texts for its concise topic presentation and its easy to follow graphics.

This review is from: Essential Atlas of Physiology (Barron's Essential Atlas) (Paperback)
A very succinct book with a large number of good but very small illustrations at a fair price. The book is marred by sloppy labels and poor grammar. I was considering the book for use of a beginning physiology class but it will not be used.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great learning book,
