Product Description

Review
"The comprehensive treatment given to all areas of medical physiology in this book makes it a good reference material for doctors and other health professional. Indeed, Human Physiology is a medical physiology textbook, which both students and instructors have been waitning for." "Luke O.Nwoye, Mohammad Dallak, Department of Physiology, King Khalid University, Saudi Arabia," Saudi Medical Journal, October 2003
to provide an 'accurate base of factual knowledge and understanding' of human physiology, particularly for students being taught with a problem-solving approach.
This is a good book for first and second year medical students who are breaching the main systems of the human body, covered in the text, for the first time. This book would be useful during many of the Second year Problem Based Learning sessions. As the book suggests, it is useful for answering many Learning Issues that arise from the problem-solving approach of the current curriculum." "Lecturer, University of Adelaide," Ramsay Group Medical Books, January 2002

Product Description
A colourful, highly illustrated textbook of human physiology aimed at medical and allied health students. Organized by systems, in line with the traditional way of teaching physiology followed in most courses, the book offers additional features that make it attractive to today's lecturers and students: the text is succinct, with emphasis on core knowledge, there are clinical application boxes throughout, and each section contains examples of applied physiology, to show how systems interact and are dependent on each other. There are also multiple choice questions (MCQs), with answers, at the end of each section.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinarily good, 14 Feb 2004
By Zooks "Zooks" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I spent a while trawling our medical school library for a good, comprehensive physiology text. This is, in my opinion, by far the best for first/second year med students. I ended up buying a copy.

This text is *extremely* well written. Explanations are clear and concise, with occasional sprinkles of humour. The full colour diagrams clarify and enliven a sometimes dry subject. A great deal of care has obviously gone into working up new and insightful illustrations of physiological processes. Clinical vignettes put each topic in context. And it may seem unnecessary to say it but this book is well indexed - something that some books neglect.

I have a copy of Tortora too, but find it falls short in a number of areas. Many other physiology texts are grim pages of tight prose. Normally I don't go for text books in their first edition as some are carelessly proofed and full of mistakes. In this case, the approach is genuinely fresh and, to date, I have found no errors.

If it wasn't quite so tragic to admit it, I'd say this was a bit of a joy to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear layout, 22 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Designed to have the look and feel of Kumar & Clark, what stands out about this book is how well organised it is! Apart from the opening chapters on nerve and muscle, this book is based around body systems. Each section is clearly laid out and colour coded, so it is very easy to access information. It's quite a readable book, and highly illustrated which helps to visualise difficult concepts. The text is immersed with relevant clinical examples, and the extra 'applied physiology' chapters are fantastic. Other plus points include the ' suggested further reading' sections , (if you want to delve into more detail) and the MCQ's, both at the end of each chapter. As with many textbooks of this kind though, it deals with some topics very well, whilst others are more mediocre.
