Great book for anyone taking college anatomy and Physiology My study group and I used this book for our college anatomy and physiology classes. We found that the text was quite easy to comprehend and the pictures of muscles was very clear and precise. We also used the following 3 books when we were preparing for our midterm and final exams. Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 (ISBN; O971999619) Volume 2 (ISBN: 0971999627) Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology (ISBN: 0971999694)
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: (Volume 1 and Volume 2) are outstanding study guides. It showed us the kind of questions to prepare for when we took our exams. We saw many of the type of questions asked on our exams from studying these study guides. Also, Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology focused on the key ideas asked on the exams. I guess this is why me and my study group all got over 90 averages in our classes. This was our exact study plan. First, read important stuff in Tortora's textbook to get a really good understanding of A and P. For the test, we prepared heavy by studying the last 3 books described and using Tortora's book as a reference.
If you are studying Anatomy, this may be the book for you This really is a very good book. He really explains things very well. The chapters are layed out in a logical order and there are quizes and questions along the way. The book is well written too. I would recommend this book to a student, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation. There are others like Marieb & Martini that I like because the style of writing isn't quite as dry as Tortora. It still is an excellent book though. One of the best.
A wonderful reference book I used this book for my undergraduate A&P course, and now that I'm in medical school, I appreciate it even more! It puts complex concepts in such understandable, clear language, with very helpful diagrams and graphics. In many subjects, it has done a much better job explaining something than my medical school professor or textbooks have done. Several of my classmates are considering forming a Tortora fan club in honor of this invaluble resource. Definitely worth the money, and they type of book you will want to keep on your bookshelf forever.
"An Outstanding Human A & P Book" This book is outstanding. It has the most informations you need to know about human A & P. The book also encloses interactive CDS for learning. The book and the CDs rock educationally. I never have doubts about the authors and the information because the book is super professional and educational. I LOVE THE BOOK AND THE INTERACTIVE CDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One book, many publishers While the book itself is very informative and easy to read, there are several publishers. Be sure when you order this book that it is the month, year, and publisher that you need. The edition number, and/or ISBN # of the book is not enough. For example, the Eighth Edition was printed at several different times, and while the content of the book remains the same, not every Eighth Edition book comes with study guides, cd-roms, or term abreviations on the inside covers of the book.
