As an NP student, I needed a condensed reference book. This one is it! All of the body systems explained very briefly with wonderful conceptual models and diagrams, fetal circulation, etc. There are pictures of bones, muscles, veins, all the basics.
Included are tables with chemistry and lab values and some reasons for abnormals, which muscles/tendons move what, planes of the body, cells and their functions, pictures of different kinds of tissues, teeth, cranial nerves, dermatomes, you name it, it's in here!
It's like having three or four books in one. Well worth the money, in my opinion. And it fits in your pocket or small enough to go with your 20 other books in your book bag! Great for students and new practitioners. And for those who would like a good reference book that is portable.

I said a prayer two days ago, and asked for a book that explained anatomy in simple terms that I understand, and then, I walked into the college bookstore and saw this. First of all, ANYTHING by Mosby would be purchased by me, and this is no exception! Now, this is a small, compact book that you can carry anywhere, to the supermarket, on the train, even to class rather than the large textbooks that are also needed. While much more of the information may be in the text, this is a great supplement, because anything that you need to add, there is room on many of the pages to include your own notes. Now, I know I will make it through Anatomy, as well as on my way to become a nurse! GET THIS BOOK!!

I am an RN who is planning to go back to nurse practitioner school next year and needed to "brush-up" on A and P so I purchased this book and am for the most part pleased. Great size to bring with me to work, to the beach, in the car, anywhere. Pictures and diagrams are very clean and nicely labeled and for the most part it is a good review, however, it does not explain much if any physiology. This is the only downside to it. But it is a great reminder of anatomy for someone who has had A and P before. I recommend it to anyone who needs to "brush-up".

This was a mandatory text for one of my biology labs, but this is definitely a textbook I will be keeping. It's nice and small, but contains tons of diagrams that are excellent for reference and studying.

Wish there was a little more physiology. The pics are great for illustration purposes and explanation/teaching. The size of the booklet is good as well, easy to tote around ,light-weight. The anatomy part is adequate.
