Princ Anatomy Physiolgy 4 **

"This was on the book list for my nurse training course at university, so I didn't have a choice but to buy it. When I first bought it as a first year student nurse, I have to admit, I found it a bit daunging. It's probably more aimed at medical students than nursing students. However, I persevered with it and, now I've been qualified for 7 years, I find it much easier to understand and really do wonder why I didn't get it in the first place. As said by one of the other reviewers, it is "the bible", if there's anything connected with anatomy and physiology that isn't mentioned in this book, believe me, it's not worth mentioning at all. For medical students, it's second to none. For nursing students, you may be put off by it at first, but persevere with it as I did and won't regret it, you'll be using it for your whole nursing career."

"I know people who have done degrees in animal science and nursing who swore by this book, and I did Biomedical science. It's amazing. Even just as a home reference book it's brilliant - I'm never selling mine! This book explains things about the body, organs, etc. and how they work; so well that anyone can understand it with a basic biology knowledge! If someone has something wrong, here's where I look what it is! It's not about illness but has bits on what goes wrong! It also has lots of diagrams and photographs, all coloured! I used this book in every essay in every subject of my course! Buy yourself this book! you won't regret it! =o)"

"Despite its weight I would carry this wherever-it really is one of the clearest A and P books around. I have to admit, I'm not too keen on the slippery pages though. The questions at the end of the chapters are very good at checking understanding of the text."

"I'm a physics undergraduate with an intense interest in anatomy and physiology. Diagrams are clear and concise, explanations not overloaded. With texts as readable as this, I might even be tempted to start thinking about 'medical physics' as a career path!"
