 Good Value October 18, 2009

It happens to be the recommended text for one of my courses at school, and even though the campus bookstore had it in stock, it was beyond my budget. I got it from amazon.com for about half of what I would have spent if I'd purchased same from the bookstore. Thanks amazon.com!
 Get Another Book, Even if Your School Requires This One!! October 2, 2009
N. Culver (Grand Rapids, MI USA)
This book is pretty, I will admit. But the book gives too much information for a basic Pathophysiology book. The book is more like a reference manual. If you are using it for a class, which is likely, you will end up spending much time reading about medical conditions and unnecessary details not needed for success in the course. The index section of the book is of poor quality and you will spend much of your time searching the huge book for topics related to your lecture notes. I highly recommend waiting to speak with your professor to find out if this specific book is necessary, or if he/she recommends another book. Remember, pathophysiology does not differ from book to book. However, much of the information in this book is blatantly inaccurate and the information presented is not orderly or presented in a fashion suitable for student use.
Well written pathophys book September 11, 2009
C. Florence (Oklahoma)
This was the text for my pathophys class in the Nurse Practitioner program I am in. There are only a few select textbooks that I keep and honestly continue to reference: this is one of them. Odds are, if you are looking at this book, you need it for school regardless of what any reviews say; nonetheless, it is actually a good book. Get a copy in good shape in case you decide to keep it like I did.
Excellent Book, great shape, all new July 30, 2009

This is a great book for advanced learning. Great depth and knowledge. Need to have a good knowledge of the basics of pathology/biology before reading this book.

I initially purchased this book and was given a delivery date within 2 days of my purchase. The delivery date then changed to several weeks, which was not acceptable. I needed the text book much sooner. I requested a refund and to this day have NOT received a refund, nor have I have contacted by the seller. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed!!
