Editorial Review: This revised edition answers the demand for a leaner version of MariebÕs Human Anatomy & Physiology, one that assumes less need for in-depth coverage of pregnancy, heredity, and the developmental aspects of various body systems, while keeping basic themes such as homeostatic imbalances strategically in place. Elaine MariebÕs instinct for providing colorful, dynamic explication of body system anatomy & physiology creates a focused presentation of basic principles. Accompanied by a supplements package that faithfully reflects the content of this new text, instructors and students alike will benefit from this convenient, integrated learning system. The entire human body, including bones and skeletal tissues, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, and the reproductive system. For college instructors and students, or anyone interested in human anatomy & physiology.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Anatomy and Physiology "paperback" - this is actually the study guide!
Caution: there is not a paperback version of this textbook available!
The Amazon page for the Anatomy and Physiology text shows a link to a paperback version available for about $35 dollars, but it is not a paperback version of the textbook! Instead you'll receive the study guide - this is an error with Amazon's page for this book.
The study guide does appear to be a good one, with practice tests and review points to help prepare for exams. I'll probably keep it now that ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent if you like a conversational style
This text reads rather like an expanded lecture. Language is precise where it needs to be: I don't see "arm" used where "upper extremity" is intended.
I believe the May 2 reviewer may be dealing with a much older edition or otherwise confused. The connection of HPV to cervical cancer is clearly indicated in this edition, and was present in the second edition as well. In the second edition herpesviruses were also mentioned as "having been implicated as a cause of cervical cancer", ... Read More
Rating: - It was alright.
It's a text book. It gives you the basics for your class and you have to purchase it anyway. I've had better bio books, but I've also had worse, way worse. It's not too short. I think it's alright.
Rating:  - Worst Anatomy/Physiology text book I had to buy ever
The author of this text book repeatedly falls into prose trying to make the subject matter more entertaining. Unfortunately, I found this rather distracting considering it is a text book. I was also shocked to find incorrect information in this 2004 reviewed text book, e.g. it claims that a Herpes Virus is the causative agent of cervical cancer, which is plain out wrong (it is HPV). Lucky me, I already have a degree in the medical field and know this kind of information, but I feel sorry for students ... Read More
