Audience: General/trade. This book was rarely used an the edges are all but pristine in condition. The upper right corner of the cover has a slight 1cm fold, but the inside of the book is as if it has never been used. No highlights, perfect, crisp pages, overall, it is in close to new condition. It also has a scratch-off for bonus contents that has not been used, and includes another offer that I can guarantee has no been used, as the purchaser of this book. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend of a "must-have" for your first 2 years, and I think the 5 star reviews will back that up. It took me awhile to learn that physiology and pathology books seemed to give me the highest density information and, physiology especially, is in my opinion the goal of medicine; we only get sick when our bodies are not in equilibrium. This book is divided basically into two parts; chapters 1 & 2 cover the important concepts underlying cellular physiology and chapter two covers the autonomic nervous system. Chapters 3 through ten are organ-based system approached with chapters on Neurophysiology, Renal, GI, Cardiovascular, etc. I prefer the author's way of conveying and simplifying the information to the required physiology text we were assigned. It's great for someone studying for their board exam or as a textbook. The color illustrations are, I think, a must for the way many people take in information and put the book at the top of the list in medical school-level physiology literature. I hope you enjoy the book! [less]
