I can't say enough about this book. The students in our class have sold the recommended textbook for the class and we only use this book. It is a book that I will keep for a reference book. It is very easy to understand. Our grades have improved using this book. We love it!!

Ok but professor hates it,
By ladybug "JL" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
This text was a required for a anatomy class as a prereq for the nursing program. The professor that teaches the class who has done so for 30 years really hates this textbook. He disagrees with most of what is in it, however he has to have it for the class. I myself find it a bit over the top on some of its explanations, I feel as a firstimer in the course it should be more to the basics not adding physio in it when we have to take that later.thanks
