ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Here's a succinct, up-to-date summary of the physiological processes that take place in the human body, written in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner. Derived from Berne et al.'s more lengthy text, Physiology, 5th Edition, it concisely and efficiently covers all of the most need-to-know concepts in the field. Updates include discussions of how the most recent findings in molecular biology and genetics affect our knowledge of physiology. A wealth of case examples, full-color artwork, review questions with answers, and boxes, tables, and graphs help readers to easily and thoroughly master the material.

USER REVIEWS
"I am a graduate student at NYU. I have taken two physiology classes and I have yet to find a good physiology book. My background is in biology and engineering so I know a few things about how physiology should be taught. This book does not do it right! The material is organized in strangely repetitive chapters that cover the same material in varying depth. Most texts will simply move from broad spectrum into finite detail, not this one. It was lacking material and it was confusing. Don't use this book. "

"For anyone studying to ace their medical school physiology course, I suggest staying away from this textbook unless it is a required text for the course. The key problem with this text is that different sections are authored by different authors, leading to the lack of coherence in the presentation of material. Some sections are much more detailed than others, while some sections simply lack clarity. Time is a premium in medical school, and efficient studying is paramount; reading poorly presented topic matter and spending more time than would be otherwise needed on poor graphs and illustrations is something I would much rather avoid. The content, in my opinion, is more geared towards, and is appropriate for students in scientific research programs.
If you're studying for a medical school physiology course, I highly recommend using Costanzo's "Physiology" textbook for its comprehensiveness, simplicity, clarity, and logical coherence, during the course if this reviewed text is not an absolute requirement. For Step I board review, I recommend the "Physiology Board Review Series" book, which is high yield, coherent, and written by the same author Costanzo. "

"The book is well organised, the explanations are clear and some issues are treated better than in Guyton, such as the case of the kidney physiology, in my opinion.
Beware that not all of the versions of the fith edition offer student consult access, so if you are going to buy one better make sure that yours does - it is a great resource. "
