I highly recommend this book to any medical student. It's easy to read and understand, and very complete. Some of my friends used the Costanzo physio book, but this book is much more complete and has color photos and clinical cases at the end of each chapter. Besides, Costanzo is just a more complete version of BRS Physio and it doesn't really add anything. This physio book really helps explain some of the key concepts in detail and its the most complete reference book you can find. I don't see how you can survive your 2nd year of medical school without this book. And my Step 1 exam had a TON of physio questions, so I'm really glad I studied physio in detail.

Easy to read, great diagrams!! Has tidbits on the side of the paragraphs that help you remember the material!

This book gives you exactly what it says it does. I believe it is specially made for the quick study of a given subject. If you come to this book expecting to find all answers you'll surelly be disapointed. As the title of the book says here you only find the "principles". For a thorough study you must get a physiology treaty either by the same authors or by Guyton, Ganong... In addition I think this book will be somehow difficult to understand if you are not a medical student because the authors write about a subject as if you already have some concepts on medical subjects as Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Histology, Biochemistry...
