Advanced Anatomy learning tool
I bought this at the urging of my Advanced Anatomy instructor. The product arrived in a timely manner and worked consistently.

IP not for a Mac
Putting this CD in my Mac does not work so well; pictures & sound sometimes don't happen or move. Some chapter's speed through without you clicking to the next page. Quiz's sometimes don't work either. Best if used on PC.

Lower level Physiology
This CD is ok for an intro to physiology. For a professional level physiology (Dental, Medical...), this does not go anywhere near topics covered in class! OR at least nowhere near as good as the Simbryo software covers embryology. I would highly recommend it to a high school student trying to take an AP test and a college student to have for multiple biology classes (bio 1-2) or even intro to physio.

Love it!
Love all of these videos - great for AP and nursing school - always go back to them.Would like to see more on the liver and reproductive system.

Exactly as posted
This is a very helpful tool for student taking Anatomy and Physiology course. The animation, interaction and quiz help to understand the topic better, as some professor either talked too fast or too soft during lecture. ... Read more

good for my learning!!!
I have this book always with me since I am a massage therapist and sometimes i want to explain to my clients what i was talking about during the session, and what muscles or tendons etc... we were working on, i think is a great buy.

Excellent :)
This is thee best anatomy and physiology reference and it's pocket size so you can take it anywhere. Personally, i carry it in my backpack and occasionally in my purse. it actually makes my book a lot easier to understand.

Great but lacking.
Overall really good reference. Very clear and detailed. My only complaint is that it doesn't include a section for Embryology, thus the 4 stars.

Very worth it.
As a military provider - I wanted to get something for the medics that was a small anatomy reference.This is perfect.It is thick (1" maybe) but very thourough.Better than pocket cards.It has some limited pathophysiology - enough to educate without overdoing it for the intended audience.I would definately buy again for the medics.Great to reference and show/explain things to patients as well.
Very happy with the product.Medics loved it.

Great!!
My wifes review: This book is great. Mine has 265 pages..copyright in 2009 (not including index). It has every system and more (13 tabs)...It was great in school, and its great now that I work in a hospital--I can carry it in my pocket--I just love it. Exactly what I was looking for. ... Read more

great companion
This workbook showed me how much I absorbed reading and where I need to work harder! Thank you!

Haven't read much yet
I started on the first chapter and realized that it is a good workbook for those students already in Anatomy and Phsiology. It's seems like a good book for when you are taking the class, but not for trying to prepare for the class itself.

Really good buy
I am starting my first year of nursing school and needed some brushing up on my A&P. This book breaks everything down for you. It is simple enough to easily understand but doesn't become so easy that you are actually learning nothing. I would totally recommend it!

College Student
I'm a middle age woman who returned to college and needed help with my Anatomy class this book was a very big help. I couldn't have passed the class without this book.

Great for Students!

Product Description
The leading textbook for undergraduate exercise physiology courses, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, is back in an updated fourth edition that is better than ever after extensive external reviews of the previous edition by nine content experts. Renowned authors Jack Wilmore and David Costill add the expertise of W. Larry Kenney to bring a fresh perspective to the organization and content of the fourth edition.

Building on the positive feedback of previous editions, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, presents the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise in a format that is more comprehensive for students than other comparable texts. Ease of reading and understanding is the cornerstone for this popular text, and students will experience a depth and breadth of content balanced with unique and effective learning features:

• Online learning. The text is automatically packaged with an access code for the online student guide. With the inclusion of the access code in the text, students will be reminded to access the Web site more readily. The convenient Web site format of the student guide allows students to practice, review, and develop knowledge and skills about the physiology of sport and exercise.
• Accessible layout. The book is divided into seven parts, each with opening text that briefly describes the contents of the chapters in that part. Chapter outlines with page numbers help students locate material, including the related online study guide activities.
• Keys to comprehension. In each chapter, key points and key terms are highlighted. The key terms are listed at the end of the chapter and defined in the glossary, thus increasing students' opportunities for recall, transfer of information, and self-testing.
• Review and reflection. Review boxes scattered throughout each chapter remind students of the major points presented. Study questions allow students to test their knowledge of the chapter's contents. Reminders of available study guide activities encourage students to explore additional learning opportunities.
• Reference and extended study. A comprehensive glossary and a thorough index help students navigate both the text and subject matter. Plus, a listing of references and selected readings provide additional information about topics of special interest.
• Abbreviations and conversions. A list of common abbreviations on the inside front cover and a list of conversions on the inside back cover of the text provide a quick and easy reference for students while they complete labs and assignments.

Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, includes an online study guide with dynamic and interactive learning activities, all of which can be conducted outside the lab. The site offers self-rating checklists that allow students to target concepts they need extra help with and unique "My Notes" study aids that are customizable and can be saved to a student's computer. Activity feedback presents specific text page references to review for incorrect responses. Additional resources in the online study guide include glossary terms that are emphasized on their first appearance and include a pop-up definition, quizzes that test students' knowledge of the material, and links to professional journals as well as organization and career information to extend students' knowledge beyond the school environment. ...

Very nice book!
I bought this for a class I am taking, but as I started reading it I quickly found it so interesting and well done that I would not stop.
Ended up reading the whole book over a couple of days. It has a lot of excellent info and great illustrations.

great book!
has everything u need to know about exercise physiology and has summaries within the chapter to help refresh you as you read along.

Received in timely manner.
I am very satisfied with my order. I received the book in the time specified. And it was in great condition.

I always buy on Amazon.com
I have been buying my books from Amazon.com for a few years now.I am a graduate student and money is tight, so I have been able to trust that Amazon.com will always have cheap new & used books.

A fine college textbook
I had a good time reading this very fine textbook on exercise physiology from cover to cover. It was at the level of detail and academic rigor that I was seeking. I understand that this is an introductory text used at the Kinesiology Department of the University of Minnesota. I am not an athlete, but rather an ordinary layperson just wanting to exercise to get fit. While the research cited in the text focuses more on athletes, there was plenty of information for non-athletes.
The book presents a great deal of technical information, but it uses a lot of modern visual techniques to help that information go down easy. The book is full of charts, graphs, diagrams, and pictures which are great help to a visually oriented person such as myself. I found other visual elements very attractive, such as layout, text boxes ("in focus" and "in review" summaries), appropriate typefaces, and so forth.
The authors go to some effort to make the material interesting and manage to convey their excitement about their topics to the reader. I highly recommend this book, whether you are a student or an educated layperson wanting to become even more educated on the most important subject of exercise physiology. ... Read more

Not good for Shelf exam
I bought this book as a major source of studying for my physio shelf exam and that was a big mistake. While this book is a great read, and written very well, it in no way covers the detail that you have to know for the physio shelf exam. It focused a lot on problems and equations which is good because that was the part that I had the most trouble with, but in the SHELF, and probably in the USMLE, there are very few calculations you have to do. I think there were only 2 questions where I had to perform calculations on my shelf.

Great book!
Great book. I really trust this author. Dr. Costanzo's material is really easy read and her charts are awesome! This was also the recommended reading for medical school and it really helped me during my first year of medical school. Highly recommended!

A must for any medical physiology course
This books provides clinical cases and problems that will help anyone pass a boardexam or graduate level medical physiology course.They key is to understand every case and practice all the problems.This book changed my class average by an entire letter grade!

Very pleased
The product was shipped in a timely manner; it is in excellent condition as promised.I would buy from this seller in the future.

Good but not great
I have to disagree with the other reviewers on this. If I could go back I would have gotten the BRS Physiology book, as opposed to this cases and problems. This book is only really effective perhaps as an add on to the BRS book. Each system has about 6-8 cases in it, and a lot of material is not covered. I was especially annoyed by the lack of reproductive system material (which consisted of 3 cases dealing with ambiguous sex syndromes). What about normal reproductive physiology? This book highlights the big points, and the explanations to the questions are very thorough, but if you are looking for an all in one comprehensive book, Id choose the BRS physio. This just seems like an attempt to sell more books by taking some info from the other book and putting it in vignette question/answer form ... Read more

It is written in, on and in prtty rough shape, I was under the impression it was in great shape. To me, this is poor.

Great product
The book was easy to understand the DVD that came with it, was a big help in understanding certain concepts.

AP text
Comprehensive textbook, many added features. Worth the added cost to get the hardcover version if you plan to take APII.

The structure, function, and pathologies of the human kidney -- simplified and explained

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This seventh edition of a concise, well written book on renal physiology continues the legacy of the book as a major contributor in the field....This well written book is an excellent review of renal function and is one of the best concise reviews of the topic."--Doody's Review Service

Written in a concise, conversational style, this trusted text reviews the fundamental principles of renal physiology that are essential for an understanding of clinical medicine.

Thorough Simplicity
I wish all textbooks could be like this one. Very readable; very well organized, and it is no longer than it needs to be. Beginning with functional anatomy, it moves onto cover big-picture functions of the kidney, and then with that context moves in for a more indepth look at each portion, separating function into the fates and control of various ions and other molecules.Why and how the kidney does what it does, where it does it, when it does it makes sense. Then all of a sudden, I found myself predicting rather than memorizing how various diuretics work and how the kidneys play a part in correcting (or causing) various acid-base disturbances.

Vander's Renal is definitely in my top 3 all-time favorite textbooks. When I compare the thorough simplicity of how Vander's Renal Physiology covers the kidney compared to the general physiology texts, there is absolutely no comparison.

I purchased both the paperback and Kindle versions: As the paperback has only two color printing, all of the diagrams and tables translate very well into the greyscale Kindle. The Kindle version is very well done.

Good, simple overview
If you are ordering this as a medical student, know that it is not nearly as thorough as you probably need.This is a tiny little book that gives a good overview of renal phys in a very easy, step by step manner.If you have a physiology review text, or another physiology book, stick with that.I liked the book, but for the money, and given the time constraints we are all under, suggest skipping it. ...

Very, very minimal overview-not worth it
I'm in my first year of Chiropractic school and this covered about the first lecture on our section on muscles and the first lecture on our section about the cardiovascular system, and the rest of the time the class is much more detailed.I'd love for someone to give me a recommendation on a text for simplifying the complexity of muscles and the cardiovascular system.(The microbiology book in this series is AWESOME though!)

Thanks.

thanks Dr. G
this book explains many areas i struggled w/ in a different way.before purchasing this book, i found myself getting lost in the details w/ other texts.this book tackles difficult topics & is highly focused on info that is clinically relevant. it's truly a different approach & painlessly short ;) i wish someone would have recommended it sooner.
also- for anyone taking neuro, i highly recommend clinical neuroanatomy by the same author (i am reading that prior to taking the course & feel almost ready/prepared for the challenge- rather than slightly terrified!!)

clinical physiology made very simple...and interesting
My book arrived quicker than expected and in much better condition than portrayed.Very good experience with this vendor.

Nice, but very basic, overview of physiology.
I am a medical student and found this review book to be a nice supplement to other physiology review texts.However, it is not as complete as the Clinical Microbiology made ridiculously simple from the same series.

There are significant gaps in information that would be necessary to know for Step One.However, if you are a person that needs a conversational style of review to get the story behind physiology, this is an excellent starting point.One really nice feature is that it has a nice thorough review of neurophysiology.This was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

Happy studying!

Good place to start for boards review
This is a good first source in beginning your Step 1 review. It'll jog your memory before you dive into other review books.It also has very helpful ways of explaining physiology concepts (except for the pulmonary chapter) which you may have had trouble understanding before.This book has less of the helpful pictures compared to their Microbiology MRS book, but the text is still very good and easy to understand.

Very confusing textbook
I do not recommend this book at all.It is very poorly written, very confusing, and does not do a adequate job of explaining the complex mechanisms of the kidney. Go find a different textbook.

WORST RENAL PHYSIOLOGY BOOK I HAVE EVER READ
Worst renal physio book i ever read. FULL OF ERRORS that are essential to understanding physio. Whoever gave the book 5 stars is smoking crack/ isn't a med student/ or most likely is one of the authors/ a fake reviewer.


DO NOT bUY THIS BOOK!!!!! I thought it would be okay and i would pick up on the errors but they are seriously terrible

Unreadable
The first four chapters of this book provide an 'okay' review of renal water and sodium balance. The organization is acceptable, and the figures and their descriptions are informative. Then at chapter 5 the book begins to die, struggles through chapter 9 and then finishes with chapter 10 which returns to the 'okay' quality of the first chapters. What kills this book is the poor quality of the writing.

Which ever author wrote chapters 5 through 9 doesn't understand that a paragraph requires structure and a direction. Most of these chapters are poorly constructed statement sentences which lack any flow or continuity except that they all talk about the kidney. Then in chapter 7 the writer discovers connecting phrases. However they are not used correctly. Words like "thus" and "therefore" are not logical conclusions from previous statements. As a student this is especially frustrating because the only way to learn the information is to memorize (as opposed to learning by understanding). Another problem with the writing in this book is that it uses excessively complex sentence construction, even in when the concepts are clear, simple, and concise to begin with. In total the poor writing found in the majority of this books make it impossible to read and learn from.

The only potentially redeeming qualities of this book are questions found at the end of each chapter and the cases found in the appendix. However, because I am only a student I cant attest to accuracy of the answers provided (In truth I can't comment on the accuracy of any part of the book).

Good Physiology
Book does a good job in explaining the main physiological points. Structure of book is around different functions (NaCl Transport) rather than speaking to specific renal structures and describing those functions. Does not have a good description of renal structure, but definitely enough to understand the physiology.

Awful.
This book has been hands-down the worst explanation of renal physiology I've ever seen. Rather than discussing the "big picture" and then drilling down into the details, showing how they fit into the scheme of things, it goes straight to the details, which are very confusing. The lack of color is also a problem, since there are shaded boxes which could mean either extra details or a clinical scenario - there's no distinction between the two. I got more out of (gasp) Rhoades and Tanner, and finally understood what was going on in Costanzo (the "big" text, not the BRS). ... Read more

Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology: An Integrated, Case-Based Approach
This book is readable and concise. Physiology and pathophysiology are applied to each case study. However, the chest X-ray findings are not reproduced well in the figures.

Concise and Easy
This is really a lovely book for clearing up concepts in pulmonary physiology. Dr West, one of the globally famous physiology author, integrated pulmonary pathology with the underlining physiology in this thin book. He tried to help students understand what goes wrong in numerous common lung and airway problems with the interesting cases he presented. As he pointed out in the preface, he intended to make this book as concise as possible in order to fit the modern cirriculum by sparing more time for students to deal with the expanding syllabus in molecular science!! ...

I bought this book on Amazon for my college classes, because they had the cheapest "new book" price that I could find. This book is great. The pictures and diagrams throughout the book are superior! I haven't even started my class yet, and I can't help but flip through this book looking at what all it has to offer. I am very excited to be using it this year.

If you are a college student and need this particular book for class, the only thing I recommend is making sure you get the right book listed for your class. This one is the Fifth Edition, Copyright 10 of Saladin's books and it is the US Version (not international). I didn't know that there were different versions until my husband pointed it out to me.

Love Love Love
This book is a requirement for my A&P 1 and A&P 2 classes. I rented it for A&P 1 and realized that I had to own it for future reference. It is not too hard to understand and easy to study from!

Excellent A&P textbook
This book is extremely clear and concise. The reading is easy and the diagrams are extremely easy to interpret. I found this book to be a great introduction to Anatomy and Physiology. It is is no way too complicated and actually makes understanding the material less complicated. It's a great textbook and I'd recommend it for sure!

good book bad service
I ordered this for my daughter's anatomy class. Found out a few hours after I had ordered it that I had ordered the wrong book. Immediately sent email to the seller, but received no reply. Ended up having to sell it somewhere else for about 25% of what I paid for it. I suggest that you parents have your kids order their own books and that the book sellers respond to the emails quicker. I do still recommend to book because it did come in good shape as ordered

Great Book!
I found this book to be very thorough and an easy read considering the material covered. Images are of great quality and detailed. CD's were also very helpful.

bad book
I bought this book, the seller stated it was in good condition. There is writting through the whole thing, there are tons of pages missing, and I am just really dissapointed in the quality. Even though it is a used lab book, I expected at least all of the pages to be there. Very poor quality book. ... Read more

Product Description
The eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology marks a new milestone in the publication of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors. ...

........
I needed this book for a class... I bought of a new one and it is obviously not used. I'm guesses booksrus or whoever i bought the book from bought it from ebay because that is what it had when I finally got my book. It did say it would take about 3 weeks but I was hoping that from the reviews it would come faster... no it did not. The book is good thought easy to read and now I can finally start doing my online work from my class without borrowing my friends book. I am just diassapointed in my not new book because I paid for a new book and the long amount of time I had to wait for it.

Great shape!
For an older edition text, this book was in great shape and arrived within a week of ordering.

pleased

Principles of Anatomy and Physiology
Very happy with the book, delivered before estimated date which made me really happy. Book was in excellent condition. Would definately purchase from Amazon again - actually looking at more books for my degree at the moment. RegardsC. Hodder

wonderful book
This is an absolute favorite of mine. Some A&P books are either written in not enough detail or are too detailed. This one provides an adequate amount of scientific information to allow the reader a thorough grasp of anatomy and physiology. I always refer to this textbook as an NP student! ... Read more

Well-designed A and P book.
This book is very well designed and written by an author who is an expert on the subject. The Interactive Physiology CD that is included is very helpful with comprehending the more difficult topics. I would recommend this without any reservations.

stickers
the book arrived in great shape but the company put their stickers on the front cover and on two places on the inside of the book. When trying to remove them they tore the pages and the cover so now I am not sure what to do. over all good rating.

Great Service
This item was brand new as promised and arrived in a timely manner.I would most definitely buy from them again!

Great
I'm taking Anatomy but I don't have a lab. If you're taking anatomy and need a little extra review and lab type help, it's a good WB. The only things that would make it better would be color. ... Read more
