The book is excellent. However, I had to purchase a medical dictionary to enhance understanding and retention of the material. The book could be made more user friendly by including explanations of ALL Greek words (e.g., angina means pain).

I ordered 30 of these for my Med Terms students, 2nd day delivery. They started arriving the next day--1,2,3, or 4 at a time. Don't know how they decided to do it this way, and it did make reconciliation more difficult, but all 30 made it on time.

The text itself is one of the best of many med terms books on the market right now. And the online support from the publisher is amazing. Strongly recommend the text for a body systems-based approach, and strongly recommend Amazon as the shipper.

So far I have only digested three chapters of this textbook. The functional "workbook" format has been very helpful and well thought out. The study CDROM has a useful audio glossary for chapter terms. The collection of diagrams and images are applied well throughout the book. The variety of end of chapter exercises serves well as add on reinforcement for comprehensive learning.

I purchased this book purely based on assisting me through my Nursing and I must say that I have no regrets with this book. I actually prefer it over my Anatomy & Physiology book as it is straight to the point and gives the essential information needed as well. The book also played a strong role in my medical terminology. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I was required to have this book for my Medical Terminology class. I found the set up to work well. The "homework" at the end of each chapter really helped me remember what I learned the chapters. I think it could have been more detailed on the diseases etc. But a pretty good book which I will continue to use as a reference.

Book was just like new and with disk like seller stated. Received book in a little over a week.

I bought this book for a class that I took, and I am definitely going to be keeping it. It was very clear and concise, and the exercises in the book and on the CD were fantastic at helping you make sure you understand what you read. And the exercise on the CD were in fun formats. The appendices and glossary/index were a lot better and more extensive than I was expecting.

Concise and easy to follow textbook. Plenty of supplemental study tools if you get the full version with the CD-Rom. The product was as described and received in a timely manner.

I ordered this book for a class I am taking. It is easy to use, and understand. I plan on keeping it long after I am done with this class as reference material. Great book!

Medical Terminology is a great book for visual learners, It has a lot of pictures labeling important terms. It's a well organized book. It has exercises at the end of each chapter, which are really helpful. The only bad thing is that is written in the form of a dictionary. Other than that is a great book to learn rudimentary medical terms.
