Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology

"What a fantastic book! Every chapter is well written ~ easy to follow pictures ~ review/knowledge questions at the end of each chapter to test understanding and the CDRom is a foolproof learning tool, again monitoring your weaknesses/strengths. Wish I'd bought it 6 months ago!"

"Marieb's latest edition provides the beginning anatomy student with a readable and informative text. The reading level is best suited to undergraduate students, and the photographs and diagrams stimulate student interest and understanding. Especially useful are the sections on "Developmental Aspects" of anatomy, which includes morphological and physiological changes from embryonic to geriatric stages. While this edition includes updated information since the 1997 edition, some professors and students may prefer the 5th edition (1997) because it is in hardback; the 6th edition is available only in paperback as of this review. Either edition is superior to other texts aimed at similar audiences on the basis of its clarity, readability, and organization."
