5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Text, April 5, 2003

By 

Greg Bohm (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)

Martini has made significant changes in the 6th Edition of his Anatomy and Physiology text and they prove to be reader-friendly, more technically accurate than competitors such as Marieb, and accompanied by first-rate illustrations. When considering the accompanying Atlas of Human Anatomy, CD-ROM, and Applications Manual, this text is the best in its class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, April 9, 2005

By 

Nursing Student (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)

I have to say, I used the 5th edition of this book and know that the 6th is better as I worked with another student who had the 6th edition. EVERYbody who wants to know, particulary physiology, should have this book for reference. The anatomy is also excellent particular the discussions on vascular and the venous / arterial systems and the nervous system discussions are clear!. I reference this book all the time.
