The new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp.

Customer Rating: Summary: Learning Anatomy and Physiology Comment: This textbook is absolutely wonderful for learning Anatomy and Physiology. All of the professors at Delgado Community College decided on this textbook for the students, and I see why. The illustrations in the book are very good, and it is easy to read and understand. I will definitely keep this book for future reference after finishing Anatomy and Physiology. Customer Rating: Summary: Not so exciting as promised ! Comment: When I saw the books, I got really enthousiastic. The forsight for listening to mp3 files on my iPod while studying on the road appealed to me. But when I registered online I noticed there are no mp3 downloads anywhere on the Wiley website. That said, there are soundfiles pronouncing medical terms but no audio lectures as promised in the book!
Wiley offers a student support website where you can view visual anatomy or other subjects from the book. You can search for chapters only to find that if you for instance go to chapter 21 and click on the listed mp3 items you are redirected to alphabetical lists of available files for all chapters and have to search for the requested subject by yourself.
For the written contents of the book I can only say it's fine.
