4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for A&P Students., January 10, 2005

By	P. M. Wragg "wagglet" (New Zealand (South Pacific!)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own the International Edition of this book, ISBN 0-321-20413-1.

Very good use of English, clear and easy to understand - even complex areas are explained fully and legibly. Excellent use of rich graphics and photographs where appropriate, and a very useful set of appendices at the back with everything from normal values for most blood tests to a Periodic Table. Accompanying CD and website both very helpful for the A&P student.

Highly recommended.

Why 4 stars? Since I am not in the USA, I have to use a scaled down version of the MyA&P website and find it just a little confusing to find my way in (once I'm there it's OK though). Also a tad heavy to be lugging around campus all day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, February 6, 2006

By	J. Moses "Nursing Student" (Vermont) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Leaving asside it's exhorbitant price, this is an excellent text book. The subject is covered clearly and consisely and the charts, photos, and illustrations are clear and bright. The only area that needs improvement in my opinion is the vocabulary, which would be much more usefull if it was presented in the side-bars like it is in many texts.
