I do not normally leave reviews on books, However I have made an exception with this book... I am a first year nursing student and was looking for an anatomy and physiology book, I was very happy at how easy it as to understand the body systems, together with "ross and wilson" has made learning the anaotomy a walk in the park, this book I would recommend to any student nurse, looking for the right book is important to help with your studies so I would tell you to get this one....it is well worth the money..and easy to use...brilliant.

Format:Paperback
This is tremendous book and a great achievement. There are too few good quality patho-physiology textbooks written in the UK and so this volume is very welcome. The book explores the path-physiology of most of the common disease seen in clinical practice and is written in an accessible style. The illustrations are also very well designed. All students who need to understand patho-physiology should own a copy.

Applied Pathophysiology
Excellent service. Obviously I knew which book I was after so my main concerns were delivery and condition of purchase. Both were excellent.
