I am a 2nd year PhD student in physiology, and throughout nearly all of my courses I found this book to be an excellent reference. Very clear and concise, with much more detail than most other basic physiology texts, which often gloss over important details. Very complete content, nice basic figures and helpful bibliographies. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying physiology as your "go-to book" for basic info in just about any specialization, whether you're a med student, grad student or undergrad. Furthermore, the price is [great]; at less than [$] it is [less costly] than most far-inferior textbooks in any scientific discipline.

I'm in first year in the university. Along with Guyton and Ganong, Berne & Levy is another thorough book suggested for physiology. I have been using it as my first focus throughout my first year study with supplementary references from Guyton and Ganong and I should say it really conveys alot of information. A great book for undergraduate study. The only shortage of the book is that it doesn't include hemostasis and blood physiology.... and well..... it's far more expensive compared to others. Nevertheless, a consice physio text book.

A superb book on mammalian physiology. It integrates from cell to organ physiology whenever is possible avoiding excess of details. All chapters are very clear, but the chapters concerning renal physiology and hidrosaline balance are so clearly written.The illustrations are very good and simple, which definetely help to understand concepts like renal clearance. Gastrointestinal physiology are also updated and easy to understand, especially the topic of gastrointestinal secretions.Endocrine physiology integrates the knowledge at cellular and molecular level to understand the actions of hormones and the regulation of the endocrine system. In summary, a very well organized textbook which can be used in physiology courses for medicine, pharmacy and biochemestry

This is an excellent book if you have a thorough background in physiology, otherwise it makes for a pretty miserable text. If you have a Ph.D., buy it, if not, then find another text.

This is the recommended textbook on the University of Copenhagen. It has got excellent chapters on the cellular mechanisms of physiology, endocrinology, and cardiovascular physiology. A must for medical students...

You can find in this book all the important topics of medical interest in human physiology. This edition has brought new concepts and has excluded less important information for medical students. It brings good illustrations too.

I'm happy to have received this book so soon and with a so good price.
Thank you.

I AM A MEDICINE STUDENT AND I FIND IT VERY COMPLETE AND DEPTH. BUT, UNLESS YOU'RE A MEDICINE STUDENT, DO NOT BUY IT. IT COULD CERTAINLY BE TOO COMPLICATED. I THINK THE CARDIOVASCULAR CHAPTER IS ALMOST PERFECT.

I am a pharmacy student, and this is a very thorough text book, but as a study guide I have found that it is mainly boring and useless. Anyone other than a medical student probably should find a better text book.
