Principles of Anatomy and Physiology [With A Brief Atlas of the Skeleton, Surface Anatomy,]
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 redevelopmen...more

Like a previous reviewer, Rachael M. Thomas, I too purchased this book from Amazon, but it didn't come with a CD. I believe I bought it about the same time she did (assuming she purchased it around the time she wrote her review in April '09). It's the latest edition (12th). Brand new. Yet no CD. I mean, it has a little CD pouch or holder inside the front book cover, as if a CD should be inside of it. The pouch is shaped perfectly to hold a CD. But no CD. Weird.

Phenomenal. Well written. Excellent graphics. So tastefully done that it has about the only photographs of dissected bodies that I can view and feel fascinated rather than nauseated. The only thing they need to work on is getting the graphics on the same page as the text they expand upon. Once this is done this book will be on par with the fifth reference edition of the _Molecular Biology of the Cell_ by Alberts in terms of greatness.
I'm using this book for my Anatomy and Physiology class and as far as text books go this one is pretty good. I find it informative, easy to use and interesting. Also I appreciate all the anecdotes that relate it to real life and current clinical practices. The only down side is that holy crow this book is heavy. Lugging it around is akin to a work out. Which now that I think of it, might not be a bad thing ;)
I would not normally add a textbook to my booklist, but this one is a little different. I spent two years with this book. I lugged it around everywhere in my backpack to the point where this book actually had a physical impact on my body. I spent so many hours reading, making notes and translating the information in the book into my mind and because of this I feel such an intimate connection to this book it wouldn't be right to leave it off my list. It taught me a lot.
Some days I would rather poke my eyes out than read this book. But alas, I have no choice. It is a pretty good book. A decent amount of information but for the love of GOD it weighs like 10lbs easy! This book needs a diet.
yah, dibandingkan buku fisiologi lain, tampilan tortora lebih menarik. Isinya juga bagus, ditambah ilustrasi yang membantu manusia DDR seperti saya (DDR-Daya Dong Rendah. Dong=understanding something).
This is one of my all-time favorite texts, and I refer to it often. As a matter of fact, I keep it under my desk since it's just the right height for my raised chair, and I imagine all that material is seeping through the soles of my feet while I'm studying other things.
It's pretty much the chemistry applied to anatomy. Or as my teacher referred to it, the chemistry of anatomy. Again very interesting.
I love this text. Have the 8th edition. Probably my most referred to book.
Good information if your friends are human.
to get a good book and i got it
Good fucking God almighty up on the mountain, it's over. I can't really say how this book compares to other A & P books - but I must say it is rather inconsistent about how clearly it explains certain processes. The way it describes mitosis & meiosis was VERY insufficient - thank God I could find a video on youtube that explained it more clearly. The animations on the CD-ROM that accompany the book were very helpful, as well as the lab manual, but if I had been left with just this book - yike...more

I'm fond of this, for a textbook. Anatomy and physiology is often fascinating, and this book is well illustrated and clear. Not too technical, but instructive. Figures are in depth and tell a big story oftentimes. I like the yoga edition's cover better though.
Well, I guess I read the majority of this book. We didn't have to read every single chapter, but pretty close.
I am sure I will also be referring to this text during my Advanced Physiology course this summer, so it is not really finished yet either.

Oh, this one's a BLAST! Actually, I like it. It just would be nice to be able to fully absorb the info instead of trying to meet deadlines and cram for the tests.
So much information. Had to use a human anatomy book for vet tech school.
Not a favorite, but i guess it was helpful.
learning a lot.... no thank you.
why am I doing this to myself?
Best anatomy book ever! A++
this book is kicking my ass
