Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am a nursing student so I wanted to get as heads up on Anatomy and Physiology before I took the class. This book is exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend for any medical student to go along with your studies.

⭐This is a great book. I highly recommend it for anyone that is getting into nursing.

⭐I am a physician and got this for my teenager grand children. The book is comprehensive and offers good bases to study farther.

⭐Very helpful, I would recommend anyone returning to school to buy this.

⭐Purchased this book to help for classes coming up, starting reading it a few days ago and it seems to be a great tool to use. Giving me an insight on what my classes are going to be like

⭐It’s a simple book that goes over a complex subject. I love the amount of detail that is covered and how it is explained. It really helped me out for college. I also enjoy how this book is thin and pretty easy to take anywhere with you. It has a section in the back for you to take notes and a “cheat sheet” that basically goes over any important facts.

⭐good supplement to a textbook; easy to read on the train. Lost it and was actually saddened because I enjoyed reading it during a commute. Light-weight and easy to follow along. Pictures could use a little more detail but one can’t really expect too much for a book for dummies, right?

⭐helped a lot with college anatomy class

⭐I purchased this book as an easy read before embarking on a nursing degree. There is a lot of information contained within this book though it is easy to read with very clear diagrams. A great book which arrived quickly. Recommended.

⭐A brilliant book, well designed and works very well with other Student work books – to have a complete selection of ideas. Its also nice to move between different points of view. Great diagrams, not found in other A&P books make for easy learning, excellent.

⭐I’m studying an online anatomy and physiology course and this has helped me so much during my first assessment. I still have a long way to go but I think I’d be lost without it. It helped me pass my first two assessments with merit 🙂

⭐Ideal for healthcare student.

⭐good place to start with anatomy – this an another book got me sorted
