Human Form, Human Function: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins))

Bought this book for my daughter who is a nursing student. The contents are clear and easy to understand. She's really happy for this text.

I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at the college level for over 15 years, in a number of different academic settings. I have reviewed numerous textbooks, and this is by far the clearest and BEST book I have ever seen. Why? Because it is the most clearly written, has wonderful graphics that are complete without being overwhelming, and does not have too much detail. I do know "detail" very well (have a Ph.D. in physiology) but the students need to get the big picture so that the details make sense. Most A&P texts are not really that helpful to the students, because they are overwhelming.I think many faculty would not consider this book for a 2 semester A&P course, because it is not complete enough, or comprehensive enough. I think that is a mistake! I have seen many students struggle and flounder in A&P, swamped by the sheer quantity of material. They truly need a very accessible textbook - and that is just what this is. I have loaned this book out to many, many students - and every time the book comes back and the student raves about it. Most often I have had to teach using a bigger, more traditional textbook - not by choice, but because the text is chosen by a committee.If I could give this book 6 or 7 stars, I would. Whether you are a teacher or a student, please do yourself a favor and check this book out. You will be very glad you did.

For nursing students excellent for anatomy and physiology..got me A's in both courses..

I used this book for a graduate level text for my physiology and intro to exercise assessment class. The book is extremely informative and is loaded with terminology. Thankfully, the authors do a good job of boldfacing all the key terms, however, if you are reading this book it almost becomes overwhelming with all the terminology. It breaks down every anatomical part to the smallest unit imaginable. Would I read this for leisure? NO. But if you're using it as a text or want some information on physiology, I would recommend this book. A good resource if you are studying to be a personal trainer or fitness instructor.
