[.ca] Anatomy and Physiology Made Incredibly Easy (ISBN 1582550433)

This is a good review for A and P students:
This book is a good review for anatomy and physiology. It focuses on the key points and is a necessity for any anatomy and physiology student. It helped me pass my A and P classes. However, I would also recommend the following: Tortora's Anatomy and Physiology textbook Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi Volume 1 isbn 0971999619, vol 2, isbn 0971999627, Both Leonardi's books are highly informative and had the same type of questions asked on my college anatomy and physiology exams. You can't go wrong with these four books!

NOT RECOMMENDED:
This book introduces way too many new terms in such a small space that one can easily lose sight of the entire function of the paragraph. The title make you think it will be a book for beginners, but its written more like a book for advanced Anatomy and Physiology. If you've never studied anatomy and physiology before I would NOT recommend this book, as I dont think a beginners brain could possibly absorb all the new terminology. The authors should have focused on key words, and left the other terms for an advanced editions. For example- this is a summary from a typical paragraph, I will put parenthesis around all the terms that are unfamiliar to a beginner-- Cardiovascular system- The hear lies beneath the (sternum) in the (mediastinum) surrounded by a sac called the (pericardium) the hearts wall is made up of (myocardium)(endocardium) and (epicardium), 4 chambers( 2 atria) and (2 ventricle)--(2 atrioventicular) and 2 (semilunar) valves. --------- THAT'S 10 UNFAMILIAR TERMS IN 1 PARAGRAPH, LEAVE OUT THE DETAILS PLEASE- unless you are in medical school, we dont need to know EVERY SINGLE part of the heart. Especially your first time learning about the body and its functions- it's entirely too much to absorb at once. And i definitely wouldnt title the book "MADE INCREDIBLY EASY" are yhou kidding me???????????
