Customer Reviews

Very basic and not worth the money
I recently completed a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology to go along with a Diploma in Swedish Massage and I was told that this was the best book to buy to give me the necessary information to complete my assignments. It's very easy to use but it is very basic information and does not go into enough detail in most places. I had to go and buy other books to get the level of detail that I needed, as did every other person on my course. I wouldn't recommend to buy this book as I don't think it's worth the money and just use a library copy if you really need it.

Anatomy and Physiology Made Easy
I've owned this book since my first year of nurse training in 1998. Ten years later and having been qualified for 7 years, it's still in regular use. I recently did my Acute Care Foundation Course for emergency nursing, and out it came yet again. It's easy to understand and logical. Each body system is covered separately, starting with the biology theory and moving on to talk about diseases which can affect that particular system. For anyone who wants to learn about human biology who doesn't like jargon and wants things explained to them in plain English, this book is essential.

Buy this book!
All nursing and medically allied students should buy this book as it gives clear and consise information into disease, illnesses, causes and treatment.

Also gives a precise and clear anatomy and physiological breakdown.
