Good book for a quick review but be warned, there are a lot of mistakes in the book.
- Spelling mistakes (it can happen, but damn)
- Wrongly labeled axes on images. (while they say "label your axes correctly" everytime, apparently they get it wrong themselves half the time)
- Wrongly labeled anatomic images. (Really shouldn't happen)
- Wrong physiologic statements that a quick google search will dispute.
- Incorrect statements that contradict each other over the different chapters.

You can use this book as exam preparation, but only after a first reading while you correct all the mistakes.

I used this book to prepare for EDAIC exam. First two parts are basic and easy to understand. Part 3 was more difficult, since it focuses more on physics and technical stuff.
