 • Just May Help Me Pass My Anatomy Class
10 October, 2009

It's been 30 years since I was in a classroom, and I'm back to school working on a Health Information Mgmt degree. After attending my first basic anatomy lecture I walked out with my head spinning, ready to give up. What language was he speaking? The textbook helped some but it was full of jargon and I still didn't really understand. The Dummies books had always helped me out before (learning Access, public speaking, etc), so I was relieved when I found this book. I immediately read chapter 3 (Forming your Foundation), and it gave me the basics I needed to understand the textbook and lecture. Now, the night before a scheduled lecture, I read the corresponding chapter, and it's so much easier to follow. Oddly enough, Anatomy is now my favorite class. This is not a replacement for a textbook, but if it's been awhile and you need to get back up to speed for an anatomy class, I highly recommend this book.

 • Great Introduction To Anatomy And Physiology
26 February, 2010

A very good book, very easy to read for the amature biologist. The only slight negative thing I would say is that some the nomenclature for certain areas of the body are sometimes not given in the respective diagrams. Apart from this, it was a great book for me and would reccomend this for anyone who is wanting to get a grasp of the basics in Anatomy and Physiology.
