5.0 out of 5 stars Kevin Pattons Survival Guide for Anatomy & Physiology, September 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Survival Guide For Anatomy And Physiology: Tips, Techniques And Shortcuts (Paperback)
The book lends itself to assuring the student of anatomy, no matter how new or experienced, a sense of accomplishment. My experience when teaching anatomy is that many students feel immediately overwhelmed no matter which text is used. This handbook seriously offers reason while encouraging critical thinking and drawing you into whatever text you are using. It is not simply a "Notes" or "dummies" book. Rather it is a finely tuned version of A&P that every student of anatomy should have at their side with the text and their dissector. For others taking a "short" course, this would definitely provide much better understanding for application.

Sincerely,

This book is a great "at your fingertips" resource. It has all the basic details of many of the systems which keeps me from having to thumb through my mammoth-sized A&P book.

This review is from: Survival Guide For Anatomy And Physiology: Tips, Techniques And Shortcuts (Paperback)
I'm currently taking Human Anatomy & Physiology in college and this book is helping me so much! It's easy to find what i'm looking for and it saves you thr trouble of having to thumb through a 400+ page textbook. The CD-ROM is awesome and allows you to either print out anatomy coloring sheets, or you can color them in using your computer and save paper.
