Product Description

The new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp.

Review
“This is an excellent book for teaching human anatomy and physiology courses.” (Doody’s , August 2009)

Customer Reviews

Really good books, Highly recommended
Lives up to the high standard set by the previous editions & moves on from them. Now in two volumes which means that it is lighter & easier to use. The free extra book is also a very useful resource. I would highly recommend this to any Paramedic students out there.

Almost perfect physiology textbook
This is a great, straightforward and easy to read textbook. It is not as heavy-going as some that are recommended on our medical course, but I have found it deep enough to get through Stage 1 medicine.

It integrates real labelled cadaver pictures with diagrams, photos and text in an interesting, manageable way. Even difficult concepts are well explained and this has become my first port of call when learning anything new. It is so beneficial to have the anatomy given alongside the physiology, enhancing understanding of structure-function relationships without having to skip between textbooks.

There are a couple of mistakes in the text I've come across (and been confused by)- which is why I'm saying almost perfect, but this is a fantastic book to use and surprisingly not that boring!

Incredible Journey!
This is an excellent book which covers every aspect of human Anatomy and Physiology in a way which is comprehendable. Some aspects I found necessary to re-read over a few times but was pleasantly surprised that some of the subject matters that I had previously thought looked daunting, are very well explained and understandable with a bit of repetition. The illustrations are particularly good with highly detailed and colourful drawings and also fascinating photographic imaging. The whole concept and design of the book and the many features and questionaires etc has been very well thought out and good to know that both the editors have taken students requests and ideas into consideration when designing and updating the book. I particularly like the I-pod facility which allows you do download all the relevant information so that you can 'walk and learn' at the same time!
