This review is from: Anatomy & Physiology Paramedic (Paperback)

This is the First A&P book I have tried to read, and it was recommended by one of my instructors as a good book to learn the material. I think this book is good for review, or as a guide to the material I should learn, but not a good learning tool for fist timers. I have found myself reading very dense paragraphs of information, and then looking up the terms on line to learn them and understand the concepts. In short good review, but not good if this is all you have to learn from.

I found this book to be very easy to understand. I used this to supplement my Brady Paramedic text book.. I think that this book is clearer and in most cases just as informative as my Brady Text. For that reason, and the fact that this book is well organized, I would recommend it.

So often you have to drag yourself to the book when studying Anatomy. This one is so well written and illustrated; it is actually fun to read. Not too much detail to get lost, but certainly enough to cover all the main points. If you want to dig down into further detail on anything, I recommend "Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Frank H. Netter, MD.
