Physiology at a Glance
I'm a med student and I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this book when exams come around. It crystallises all the physiology you need to know into note form and easy to remember diagrams. EXCELLENT!!

Physiol at a glance
i'm a 3rd yr physiology student, bought the book because it was recommended, also skeptical about its usefulness.
however, when it came to exam time, along with my written notes this book was freakin awesome for some last minute revison!!
the consise diagrams and text were immensly easy to remember literally at a glance! (apologies for the cheeseyness)
so yeah, all in all, worth the purchase :)
