 Human Anatomy and Physiology September 14, 2008

I bought this book for the semester. So far from what I have managed to read for class had been very helpful. It came with an atlas, internt connect, and cd-rom. I thought I was only getting the text. So this would be a great purchase. I enjoy the book so far.

First let me say that Human Anatomy and Physiology is not an easy subject. I'm a good student and I appreciate a good textbook. The level of detail in this text is very good. The problem is the way the author presents it. First because there is so much detail, it would be helpful if the author had indicated some way to discern the trivial from the essential. Do I have to master every detail? Second, the information is given in a chatty style of writing. That's fine but it takes too long to piece together the relevant details when they're scattered non-linearly around the page. And time is what you don't have when you're studying A & P. Third, the author doesn't know when to end a chapter. Sometimes it felt like she was getting paid by the word. Or perhaps she was trying to stay ahead of her competition and didn't want to miss including every bit of info however trivial, if her competition was including it in their textbook. Fourth, the author tended to use substitute terms for the same thing - way before the topics were presented in later chapters. For instance, neuron, cell body, and soma all mean the same thing - and once I got to the nervous system section, it became very basic. But way back in epithelium, connective tissue, and muscles it confused the heck out of me. Marieb does this a lot, probably to keep her writing from becoming tedious and boring. But, it's a text book - it's perfectly okay to be tedious if it makes things easier to understand!

Human Anatomy and Physiology Edition 7 is excellent in defining what is needed when you are studying.
studying nursing you need a book that can deliver the message quickly and precisely
the pictures make all the difference and the size of the pictures can help you understand what the part of the body's function is.
I have not covered a full science course but i am finding this book has helped with the understanding of the complexity of the body.
