The book of 1st year

Anatomy and Physiology is an excellent book for getting started on the basics of medicine. Without going into confusing detail it comprehensively covers all of the systems of the body providing a generous dose of anatomy and physiology topped of with a sprinkling of histology and excellent clinical snippets of the diseases than occur in these organs. A particular attention to detail is the sections on clinical medicine ie the different range of movements to test in joints.

My favourite bit is the colourful see through acetate pull out body progressively revealing the different anatomical layers of the body as you flick the pages

I think it is good value for money in comparison to Tortora in that it comes with a lot of added freebies, like evolve online and the atlas

By far it covers most of the science material required for 1st year medicine making it the ultimate lazy mans guide to 1st year- just add beer!

Great book

This is an excellant reference and backup book. It is a very good book to use in trying to understand basic principles. However, this book does not provide the in-depth knowledge required from some of the anatomy and physiology.

The anatomy (includes brillaint diagrams and photos of cadavers) and physiology is clearly explained and if used with other texts you should have no problems in getting the top grades.

A great book, but disappointing CD (hence the 4 stars).
