I bought this textbook because I was required to have it for my college A&P course. It is not an introductory course, so I was worried the book wouldn't do a good job at explaining the basics. I was proved wrong the first chapter! It contains beautiful, easy to read diagrams of anatomy. I loved the way he puts a drawing of a body part next to the actual part, so you can get clear image of the borders of parts (drawing) but then find the parts without the use of unrealistic color differences (on the actual part). Saladin even gives a recommendation on the best way to approach this book and your course. His tips and recommendations are spot-on. I have confidence these learning techniques of his will get me through this course with not only a passing grade, but a grade I can be proud of! The study guide and lab manual are great companion books to the textbook. Con=The book is very pricey, but if you are serious about your career and education, it is well worth the money!Read full review
I love the international version. It might not have the stiff binding like the US version (which might be how it got ripped/torn a little bit, which is how it was when i took it out of the packaging) but the book is a great price and so much easier to handle. It fits on your desk well, mixes in with binders and notebooks very well, too. For it being a word-for-word match up with the US version, and the price was so much better, I might buy the international version from now on!
the book is organized well, but from the title it would appear that there would be more emphasis on the form fitting function in the body, but it lacks atlases of the entire systems it describes. While it is nice that it breaks things down nicely, sometimes it is difficult to see the entire structure or system due to lack of illustration or pictures. I bought it for an intro to anatomy class, and it fulfilled its purpose.
I was so excited to find a US edition of this book for such a great price and not only that but it was in new condition!! However, I never received it. I sent in payment immediately and waited patiently for it to arrive. After a month of not receiving the item I contacted the seller but never got a response. I had to file a claim with Ebay and get my money back because they could not even get the seller to respond! It was an awful mess that I did not need right before classes started! Naturally, I was extremely unsatisfied with the purchase!
Excellent book for and Introduction to A&P. The language used is very simple to understand and It has several exercises from which you can learn about. It has a bunch of imagenes to follow all the explanations. Also it has a website where you can watch video. No purchase for access code is necessary.
