5.0 out of 5 stars Not easy, but well laid out and indepth, January 27, 2005
I have really enjoyed learning from this book. It has laid things out in a most learnable manner. I'm not saying the information was easy, but I learned more than with other books and I found the information fascinating and the CD that comes with it is very helpful in preparing for tests.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Nursing Students and Medical Transcriptionists, April 28, 2006
This is a huge, in-depth book. I originally got it for a medical transcription course, but I find that I refer to it quite often for my anatomy & physiology classes. There are tons of full-color pictures, lists of abbreviations. The first 4 chapters are general terminology, which is very helpful, which is followed by 20 chapters on different systems of the body and fields of practice. I love this book and will use it throughout my nursing schooling, and probably even past that.
