5.0 out of 5 stars A book you can learn a lot from!, August 6, 2000

This review is from: Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology (Hardcover)

This book is a great learning tool! It "teaches" you about your own body, how it works and why you should care about what you eat, exercise, etc. The book is very well structured, with an objectives list at the beginning of each chapter and reasoning skills questions at the end, that helps you develop study and observation skills. This is a great book that changed the way I see my body, I learned a lot with this book!!
