I am almost done using this textbook for my intro physiology class. I have been very pleased with the overall readability and simplicity of the book. Fox explains things clearly and with just the right amount of detail (for an intro course). There are a few areas here and there that were a bit confusing, and my professor pointed out a few errors, but no text book is perfect.

Also, if this book is required for a class, you can probably get a way with using one of the older editions as the changes from edition to edition are minimal (renumbering or reordering graphs, or sometimes just changing the colors of the graphs!). In my class students used everything from the 11th edition to the 9th edition. The international edition is identical to the US one, not to mention cheaper and lighter (it's softcover).

Maybe it was just a great class, entertaining and knowledgeable professor (Dr. L. G. Thouin at Pierce College), or the subject matter, but I think the presentation of information, layout, and illustrations in the text helped keep me excited, motivated, and on top of a complex subject.

This book is easy (as easy as a human physiology textbook can be) to read and comprehend. It contains many full-color, 3-D diagrams which really helped me comprehend and memorize the necessary structures and functions. More specifically, the chapter and diagrams on kidney physiology made it worth the money alone.

Great condition, arrived promptly.

This textbook is easier to understand than many textbooks because it defines things as they are introduced several times. It doesn't automatically assume you know things already. It is almost identical to the 11th edition and is interchangable.

This book is written fairly straight forward with adequate detail description and helpful diagrams/images to convey the material. Helpful for physiology course. :)

I ordered a textbook, got it on time, the description provided was good. I got just what I purchased.

Con: Poor organization > Pro: good amount of details

This book covers many details but
the ideas are presented in less logical fashion.
There are better books out there.

This book was received in a timely matter and in great condition. I would recommend purchases from this seller anytime.

This book was in great condition. It was brand new and came in a reasonable amount of time I received the book before my classes started. It was a great buy compared to my school's bookstore

I got the book pretty quickly and it was in excellent condition glad could find it a lot cheaper here then my school's book store
