very helpful for nursing schoolJuly 24, 2010 L. Sweeten(Virginia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book as a study aid to prepare for anatomy & physiology classes that are required prerequisites for the nursing program I plan to apply to. This book, along with its companion, Anatomy Coloring Book, is really very helpful. The plates are beautifully drawn, the instructions for coloring are clear and concise, and the accompanying text provides a useful summary of the anatomical or physiological feature being shown. The information is up to date and appears to have few errors although there is, very occasionally, a typo. The tactile and visual experience of coloring is really good to help retain and understand the information being conveyed. It is much more effective than reading and re-reading text, or staring at diagrams and trying to memorize everything that's labeled. Although I have two college degrees, both are in liberal arts and I finished them in the late 1990s, so I have limited exposure to hard science classes at the college level. By going through these two books on my own, I feel much better prepared for the anatomy & physiology class I'll be starting this fall. I would recommend them to anyone who feels a need for a study aid, wants to prepare for an anatomy or physiology class, or is just interested in how the human body works.

I was sorry to see there were some missing pages on this books, the coloring ones! It looks entertaining and should be fun to work with. I can wait to have those color pencils ...
Great bookJune 4, 2010 An Amazon Customer(USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have fond memories of this book as it helped me get an "A" in my Physiology course (which believe me, Physio in med school is TOUGH! :) )
I was in med school in the 1980s, & was wandering around the University of Chicago medical bookstore browsing textbooks. I found this book, & it turned out to be a great book for supplementing my lecture notes.
I have an earlier edition of course, but it is so succinct (1 page summaries of a complex topic broken down into small topics - 1 per page). I did not color in it, just read the topic page as it applied to lectures (to clarify & simplify the lecture).
The acid/ base, renal sections are outstanding.
It is not research based, but is for clinical basic science classes.
I hope nothing happened to the authors as there hasn't been a new edition in almost 10 years. A true shame if this series is gone.
