Simple to understand, not a boring textbook.
I was assigned this book for my A and P classes at my university.I found it to be quite complete as the previous reviewer said.I also liked the writing style since it was not in hard language.Although some anatomy words are hard at first to learn like styloid and mastoid, I found the text to be easy to learn the information from.I also found two great study guides which really helped me get the grades I wanted.I discovered them from a classmate of mine.They are:
Great Textbook
I took this course in college because it was required for my major.I honestly have to say that this book is extremely thorough.It covers all body systems in great detail it's diagrams are extremely helpful. ... Read more

Excellent Review !!!
Describing this book will only make it look less perfect. This is for all you med. students out there:Excellent Review.

pretty good
concise and well written.good for review but should not be used as a textbook. some prior knowledge is needed to fully comprehend the materials.

Excellent Review
Ganong writes an excellent and complete review of physiology.This is a great text if you are already familiar with phys and if you want to refresh or want a reference.This is a tough text for studying physiology for the first time.Very indepth in most areas of physiology.The chapters on repro phys aren't stellar, but most other areas are great.Very logical procession.This is a must have for all those studying/researching (grad students and onwards) areas that involve physiology. ...

Amazing.
As I read this book, I get the "eureka!"-feeling at nearly every turn of page. It all seems so logical when Myers lays it out. This book has really sparked my interest for Structural Integration therapy and I am going to order all of the Anatomy Trains DVDs - the first three are already on the way. I can also heartily recommend Ida P. Rolf's books on Structural Integration - she's the originator and (or should that be "but") is easily understood, just like Myers.

Highly recommended
Easy to read and use.I am a massage therapist and this book has helped me emensely.

ANew, Global View of the body
I have been a professional body therapist since 1979.Anatomy Trains is one of the best books I have seen in my entire career spanning 36 years.This is a great book for all kinds of body therapy styles and forms.The book clearly states and I agree that a detailed knowledge of human anatomy is necessary to follow and understand the book. ...

Why your reviews are important...
I am a biochemistry professor.After years of using another text I decided to try the Voet & Voet text.I was very excited about their latest edition and couldn't wait to teach with it. Unfortunately it was a disaster.There are far too many trees in Voet & Voet, and students couldn't see the forest this year.So I am looking at "Principles of Biochemistry" 4th edition by Horton et al.
Fine book, for whatever it matters
The book is decent. To be honest though, reviewing textbooks is kind of funny. Does it matter what I say? I suppose if you're ordering this book because you honestly just have a burning desire to learn about the principles of biochemistry, well... the more power to you. You'll learn it just fine from this book. If you're just buying the book because it's the required text for your college class (like I expect), well yeah, doesn't really matter what I say, does it?

They advertise the wrong item
In the search and title it says Human Physiology: From cell to systems by Sherwood. It is not this is an study guide to accompany the textbook. Also when are reciever in the front page say clearly textbook not included. The name of this is Cram101 Textbook Outlines. I am very dissapointed because now I have to return this wait for my money back in the meanwhile order the texctbook elsewhere.

In great shape
When I ordered from this company, my order was processed and shipped within 24 hours.The book was soon at my doorstep within a week.The condition was just as stated in the company's despription, perhaps even in better shape than I expected.

Great supplement for the book
I use it to study before my exams... great for reviewing the material... great summaries of each chapter and exam type review questions ... Read more

Dissapointed
The paper has a wax like feel.It is slippery for colored pencil.There is not enough tooth in the paper to hold the colored pencil.No fun. :(

Great filler and study guide
I needed a good 'filler' and study guide for my Anatomy classes and this seems to fill the need beautifully.Not used it yet but will come back after the year starts in Sept. and give an update.

Great book

Invaluable for your library
In the fields of fitness, physical therapy, sports, orthopedics or anatomy and biomechanical interest, this book is a classic that should prove invaluable to you.It can help professionals or laypeople discover muscular imbalances, injuries and causes of pain in their bodies or the bodies of others.
BEST BOOK FOR MUSCLE TESTING

save your money for Physical Organic Chemistry - by Dougherty & Anslyn
This book is written at the undergraduate level.The figures are a joke.It's a paperback and will fall apart.If you are in graduate school; buy the text by Anslyn & Dougherty instead.It is a nice hard bound book, durable & weighs a ton. Its worth the money and the weight in your backpack.

Horrible
It is now more than a month after I was supposed to receive this book and I have not gotten it yet, what the hell is going on.

Update of a Classic
This is an update on a classic text that has been used by many graduate and advanced undergraduate students. The core of the book is still an excellent survey of older literature and of enormous use to students.There are also many excellent problems.Unfortunately,there is not as much new material or references in some sections.I found I had to frequently supplement the text with current readings.The use of modern theory is especially lacking. ...

ok
the book came in a reasonable amount of time but was not the same quality as was initially stated.It said the book was brand new but it had bent corners.

Book NOT in Good condition.
Company was prompt and service was great. However, the book was listed in 'good' condition and it is not. I can ignore the writing and hilighting but it had a defect in which it was missing about 50 of it's pages. To me missing pages does not qualify as 'good' condition. These people obviously do not check the quality of thier books.

Best Textbook I've Ever Read
I would like to find Neil Carlson and shake his hand. This is is without a doubt one of the best textbooks I've had the pleasure of using.

Excellent course, Excellent book
I took Systems Physiology from Widmaier (the author of this book) and the course was phenomenal. The book served as an excellent reference and an exciting read. The only real downside to the book is there is so much interesting information that it is easy to get sidetracked when you are trying to study. ... Read more

A wonderful, scientific voyage
This book offers a broad coverage of the underlying structures and processes of speech. Beyond a primitive stage, man is unique in his ability to convey information by using his voice. And he has developed this ability from systems designed for more vital goals (eg., respiration and nutrition). In this respect, the work by Seikel, King and Drumright proves a great resource for studying the entire apparatus involved in voice production and perception, specifically the systems of respiration (energy source), phonation (voicing), articulation and resonation filtering), mastication and deglution, hearing, and neural. Furthermore, it includes several appendices for quick access to anatomical terms, morphology of terms, muscles, sensors and nerves, and a review of pathologies affecting production of voice. What I liked the most about the book is that you are systematically guided through all the germane systems, and when pertinent, the book provides references for deeper understanding of the material. Besides, after you have read sufficient content, the book shows summaries for reinforcement of the learnt concepts. Also, there are clinical notes distributed throughout the text, with germane discussions (related processes, pathologies, etc.). And every chapter has a set of questions for assessment of your understanding (do not worry, answers are included!).

Good Book
The book gives details on every food group for your blood type.You can look at all four blood types at a glance in the charts given.I just wish there was more information about how to tell if you were a non-secretor or a secretor.Otherwise, good book to have in your library.The husband and I have changed our eating to be according to our blood type as suggested, and within two weeks we could both feel a difference.More energy, less bloating or indigestion.It's a good book!

Physical Results May Vary!
I was considering adopting a vegitarian diet due to my many health problems and my mother told me about this book and the benefits her friends have had. So I bought the book and the information was quite facinating. It was like reading my physical autobiography, so I started the diet and I've been on it for 4 weeks and I have had no weight loss. Why..I don't know, but my energy levels have dropped significantly although I must say that my overall shape has changed. It appears that either I'm toning or I'm loosing muscle mass. The books were an easy read, but the thing I find most confusing is this concept of using herbs for ailments and overal health, there are sooooo many herbs out there for every kind of physical issue good or bad and I'm confused as to just how many pills can one person take?! I want to buy the right kind of vitamins and minerals for my body, but even on the website there are 5 or more kinds of pills that I should take, not to mention the shakes, bars and extra health meds that they recommend. I'm sorry to say that I have learned why I am sensitive to certain foods and why I've gained weight, but as to how to fix the problem, there seem to be too many pills and sometimes conflicting pieces of advice. In all, I'm more confused than I was when I was in the dark. So to all of you who have been successful with this diet, BRAVO to you, but for those of you who have bodies that are far more complex than diets and "all natural" foods, I feel you and maybe we'll find the REAL solution someday together.

it was okay
I bought the book thinking that it would help me learn how to eat for my blood type but I find it very difficult to follow and difficult to read it. This is more like an index for health problems and if you are susseptible to them by what your blood type is. ... Read more

Anatomy Flashcard,Conveniet
I found these cards good for studying and learning about bones and muscles for my anatomy and physiology class. The pictures are well-done, the cards are handy, easy to carry around when you are doing errands.Other study aids I found very useful were:
Anatomy flash cards
Very time consuming and rediculously organized.The only thing I liked about the product is the free anatomy poster. The cards are not well organized and hard to get out of the box.Also Integumentary Sytem is not included.

Great Bio-Chem Book
This book is very detailed and covers a wide range of bio-chemistry information.

Well-written, not-so-hot layout
My university uses this book for the two-semester biochem sequence for BSc Chemistry/Biochemistry students.It's a well-written book, overall -- lots of information but not a very dense "scientific" read.The best part is the way the authors keep tying things back to reality ... sidebars explain how the dynamics of protein folding affect Alzheimer's disease, or what protease inhibition means for the development of HIV drugs.
