Covers everything pretty well [Posted on 2005-05-16]
I have to disagree with the review that said this book was for beginners. It's certainly not although no study guide is going to touch what your course book has in regards to information. It is very good at hitting all the main points and explaining them in very easy to understand language. It is definetely more in depth then some of the other guides out there. I used this guide a long side my text and class notes and easily got an A in A+P. PLEASE REMEMBER it's JUST A GUIDE. It's like CLIFF NOTES for a textbook. You won't get EVERYTHING FROM A STUDY GUIDE

Anatomy & Physiology [Posted on 2005-09-24]
I am enjoying this book very much. I am learning alot from this book also, it's addicting. If you are into this kind of book, this is it for you. Wow, there is alot to our body, more than we can amagine.

The title is right [Posted on 2006-07-03]
If you are looking for a book that only stresses the main points of human anatomy and physiology, this is the right book. But if you are looking for in-depth study of this topic, then buy a textbook. The book's title is what the book is about: an OUTLINE of human anatomy and physiology. It has everything you need to know about A&P without carrying a whole textbook. It's compact and fits in any backpacks. Best of all, this book is easy-to-read & understand and there are no spelling mistakes, so I guaranteed you'll do fine if you know learn everything from this book. (sigh) I wish I know this book when it first came out.

Good Study Guide [Posted on 2007-03-12]
I actually like the study guide. It very straight to the point. The only thing I dislike about the book is the chapter review question - multiple choice question with the answer listed right after the question. Other than that, it's OK for a quick review.

Unacceptable mistakes [Posted on 2008-09-29]
For such a well-acclaimed book, it is frustrating to see authors' poor understanding of chemistry basics. Contrary to what the authors say, the ionic bond is not weaker than the covalent bond, which is proven by the same authors in the very next sentence after the erroneous statement, where they mention higher melting point of NaCl.
Page 26 takes it even further. To say that the "mole" is a unit of weight may be excusable for a freshman who does not still have a grasp of chemistry basics, but for two full professors... it is nothing less than an unjustifiable blunder, furthermore aggravated by its confusing power due to being uttered by authority of such a rank.
