ABOUT THE BOOK
Books in the popular Easy Way series present basic subject matter in clear language. Material is presented in a way that makes these books ideal as self-teaching guides, but Easy Way titles are also preferred by many teachers as supplements to classroom textbooks. General readers seeking out information often turn to Easy Way titles for general background and orientation when starting out in new career-related fields. All Easy Way books contain both short quizzes and longer tests with answers to help readers gauge their learning progress. Subject heads and key phrases are set in a second color for quick and easy reference. Here's a good supplementary text for pre-med and other science students. Topics covered include cells, bones and joints, the skeletal system, the nervous system, muscle physiology, the cardiovascular system, and much more. Explanatory chapters are supplemented with hundreds of practice-and-review questions and answers.
"While not quite as "Easy" as most people would expect, it is still a great readily accessible reference book. I have used this in fitness instruction and as a fast reference book in university. It was definitely written in simple-to-understand terms, without requiring 3rd year university to figure out anatomy or physiology. I also liked the study questions. Thanks for writing this book.

"This book has been a lifesaver for me in my anatomy and physiology classes. It really simplifies the concepts I need to know (the class is textbook is written in doctor speak, not sure how any non-doctors could ever understand anything from it). I like that is has a lot of tables and illustrations to explain the different body systems. The best part though, are the quizzes at the end of each chapter. They are fill in the blank, multiple choice and true/false. I will say that this book along will not get you through a college A&P Class, it does not go into enough detail on some things. It is extremely helpful for understanding the basic concepts of each system. The details can be learned from class notes and internet sources. I have recommended this book to several class mates and they say it has helped them as well. "

"Anatomy and Physiology the Easy Way is a great book that summarizes and really drives home the main point of A&P classes. I bought it after I'd taken the first semester and wished that I'd had it all along. 1st semester I got a high B, but now I'm at a startling 96% with the help of this book. GET IT! You won't be disappointed! Its a great investment, even for starving college students."
