5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book, December 13, 2002

I purchased this book for my first year in dental school. So far, it has been a great reference book. I can honestly say I have referenced it more than any other book purchased this year. Every chapter is easy to read and contains many wonderful and detailed pictures. Tortora and Grabowski do a great job making the material thorough yet concise. For first year dental students, I would definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great textbook, March 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, 10th Edition (Hardcover)

I used this book for undergrad anatomy and physiology. It's extremely thorough and descriptive. However, it is written in an easy to comprehend language that makes studying a lot easier.
However, if you really want a great source for studying anatomy and physiology in undergrad, get the following books:
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi (Volume 1 and Volume 2)
(ISBN: 0971999619) (ISBN: 0971999627)
These two study guides are a must for getting better grades on college exams. The author of these study guides knows the type of questions that are asked on tests. For example, my friend took another anatomy and physiology class at another college and used the Anatomy and Physiology Study Guides by Patrick Leonardi and also got very good grades in his class. In addition, I got an A in my anatomy and physiology class at a different college after using the Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide by Patrick Leonardi.

best package -
book is thorough and explains all aspects there. it contains a glossary and new terminology is explained after every part of body and system exploration.
the attached atlas - shows all parts of the skeleton. it is handy - you can drag it with you anywhere while studying for exams. atlas has also references to book. shame it has only the skeleton and all body systems.
the book has two cd-roms attached - one in fron cover - let's you prepare sample exams in order to prepare you to passing the exams.
the other cd-rom - is the foundations - first cd in a series of some. book contains only the first - the foundations part. it has animation, pivtures and interactive explanations and also a glossary part. so you can postpon buying a dictionary for the beginning until you have some knowledge and know what dictionary will be best for you.
all in all - excelent package for an affordable price.
i haven't tried yet the website subscription offer.
