4.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy & Physiology 25 July 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As a nursing student I have found this book very useful for explaining diseases and how different parts of the body work. It explains each system of the body separately, explains what diseases can occur and then simply explains what the diseases are. Does not go too deep into the biochemistry side and is very good for people getting to grips with overall human physiology.
However, it may be too basic for some, but is great as a foundation text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant for those not too hot on biology! 1 Oct 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I am a student nurse, I've just started the diploma course in Derby. At senior school it took me so long all the time to get to grips with many issues in biology lessons and I always needed things explaining so much simpler to me!! (I think my science teacher got quite fed up of me in the end actually!!) So when I began this course I was terrified of how I was going to keep up with all the 'big names' used for parts of the anatomy! Then I heard of Ross and Wilsons book about Anatomy and Phisiology, it was recommended to me by a biology lecturer who sympathised with me, she said it was a brilliant book for those who worry about biology and was so simple to understand. So there we go, I bought it and could now tell you anything you need to know about the Cardivascular System (makes me sound clever doesn't it!!!). It's fab and I would recommend it for those of you who aren't too hot on biology. It's perhaps too simple for those clever biologists but is definitely brill for others not too good at it.
