5.0 out of 5 stars
best there is,
By Zora "z" (san francisco, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
This book saved my life in anatomy class. It's a keeper, which I can't say for most texts. It's organized by systems and not regions, which is really the best way to learn anatomy. It also includes Latin and Greek origin names, a glossary, great diagrams, and a basic biology refresher section. Purchase along with "Human Anatomy Lab Manual with Cat Dissections" and you'll be ready to tackle anatomy class.

This review is from: Principles of Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
Since I'm not in college, the inclusion of basic physiology is most helpful. The glossary is also helpful; everything I've needed to look up was in it.

This review is from: Principles of Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
So this book was offered by my bookstore at school for $238 brand new. I bought it, like a fool because it was the last one and I was worried I wouldn't find one in time for my class. Well fortunately I found it here for only $47!! Brand new. Same exact thing my bookstore offers. Its unbelievable really.
Anyway, this book is great. Big pages with big and clear pictures. This is the same book my Anatomy and Physiology professor used when they were in college (of course it was probably a previous edition). The book is really heavy, but that's normal with most college books. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone needing it for their classes. And make sure you buy it on here!
