Book was in great shape. Original order was never received but a replacement was quickly sent.

Completely understandable!        Rating:

We're supposed to have another Author for our required A&P book, but after reading both in the library I bought this one. Marieb explains things in a way that you will understand the material. My teacher agreed & said it was fine for me to use this book instead & if it had been his choice, we would have used Marieb anyway!

Best A&P book for nursing majors        Rating:

This is a required reading text for anatomy and physiology I and II at the college I attend, and I have nothing but praise for the author and illustrators of this book. It is as comprehensive as A&P can get, and as difficult as the material is to learn, it is broken down into systems so that it is not too overwhelming.

The reason why I give this text 5 stars isn't because of the text -- but the CD and online access that is included. Instead of just seeing diagrams of the heart on paper, the CD makes the heart come "alive" by enabling the viewer to see the heart chambers pumping and blood flowing through the major arteries. This is just one of many examples of how learning is enriched with the CD. I could not have made an A in A&P without it!

I bought the book the first time because I had to. I bought it the second time because I wanted to.

I am a Nursing student. I had to have two semesters of Anatomy & Physiology for Nursing. Like most students, I sold the book back to the bookstore after the second semester. MISTAKE! About half-way through my first semester of Nursing I found myself wishing I had the old A&P book again. So, I went and bought it.

If there is anything you want to know about A&P, this book has it! What a marvelous book!

It's not a book for the casual reader; find something else for that. But if you want to know the details of the body and how it works, BUY THIS BOOK!

Most of the chapters have a beginning that kinda describes the particular section of the body. The remainder of the chapter then goes into details, and I mean details - as much as you can possibly want.

I cannot imagine a better-written book anywhere!
