 Completely understandable! October 13, 2008
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!

Wow, I am really suprised this book garnered as much positive feedback as it has. I am a nursing major, and I was apalled at the lack of detail in this book. I ended up using the A&P text from my 201 class for the majority of this class. Maybe it was the questions my instructor asked, but I constanatly had to go to other sources in order to find the information I needed. If anyone finds themself in this situation, Ken Saladin's text by the same name is the best!!!
Best A&P book for nursing majors May 13, 2006

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!
This is one of my favorite textbooks March 6, 2005

Although I'm not a big fan of college textbooks since they can be very long and tedious to read, this textbook is to the contrary. It had very relevent information relating to my college anatomy and physiology class that was right on pace with my college lectures. This is a good knowledge base for learning A and P. I especially liked the chapters on muscles and bones. Very interesting. However, when I study for college exams I usually also use study guides. I highly recommend Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies and for very to the point test preparation questions I found Anatomy and Physiology:Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 and 2 to give me instant feedback of what I knew or didn't know for the test. Because of these books I did a lot better then I expected since I never had any prior teachings in anatomy and physiology.
