Human Anatomy, 3rd Edition

Prior to the course I am taking now I took anatomy for 3 weeks using a textbook that was written by the professors teaching the course. That book was driest and most boring textbook I've ever read. I ended up dropping the class. By contrast, this textbook is wonderful. The images are so useful and the textbook is very readable. The study tips are actually useful and the authors have done a good job at distinguishing the essential from the important but non-essential. This is no small task when it comes to anatomy. The temptation I think many authors have is to throw everything at students all at once which makes it difficult for them to discern what is worth memorizing and what is not. I highly recommend this textbook.I also am glad that I purchased the Kindle version. After watching my classmates try to look a particular bony landmark and flip through many pages trying to remember just which page they saw it on, I can easily do a search on my e-textbook and find scores of images of the bone or bony landmark I need to lookup.

I can't complain about my $17 text book that is over $100 elsewhere! It did say that this book comes with a digital access code in the title and description, and didn't. I didn't end up needing the digital access code as my school requires the lab manual with a code anyway. This textbook is a must for a&p and compliments the lab manual very well.

The book is great the older versions work well with the class I am taking. If you need this author for an anatomy class double check for an older version. All of the images are the same and just about all of the page numbers are the same too. This makes it easy to follow along in class. The book itself came in perfect condition, this book uses some different terms in the different editions. Ask your professor which terms they prefer, I have 3 different items i study with and they all use different terms. This book and the 2nd edition use different terms than the 4th edition.

This book is great!! It has awesome charts and a lot of detailed pictures. The price to buy this book is really really expensive. If money is not a problem then I would say buy it brand new. Money was an issue for me so I rented it for a third of the price. If your looking for an up to date Anatomy book I would recommend this one. Easy to read and again great pictures for the visual learners!!

I rented this on my kindle fire hd and I love it. I can zoom in on the pictures and diagrams; the pictures of cadavers are so detailed that it is almost like being able to closely examine fibers and tissues in person. The one drawback I have noticed is that in-text references to pictures and tables are not hyperlinked. Also Chapter Review questions would be enhanced by being hyperlinked to chapter review answers at the end of the book. These inconveniences are more than compensated by the ability to zoom so far into the images and the bonus of not having to cart around a heavy textbook.

The book is ok. It is used. The bindings on the edges are torn and so it wobbles when I open it. It is used, so I can't complain. Didn't see it in the description about the binding. No writing so that's great. Gave it 4 stars because of the no writing. The binding is mainly due to being used.

This book has everything you ever wanted (and millions more you never wanted) to know! I spent a lot of time with a dictionary in hand and a bookmark in the glossary, but ultimately it's been a very helpful tool. The copy was much more advanced than I was expecting but the pictures and diagrams are fantastic.

The book is easy to understand and with plenty of images to aid in the understanding of the text. I did find some sections incredibly 'wordy' where it could have been more concise because the length did not add to the material. The organization of the chapters and the quality of the paper were exceptional.
