Textbook of Medical Physiology: with STUDENT CONSULT Access (Textbook of Medical Physiology)by Arthur C. Guyton and John E. Hall
|
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: great as a reference and for any comprehensive physiology course, February 11, 2006 Reviewer:Shann Yu "BIOE major" (Rice University) - OK, so this may not be a textbook that I've been required to buy in any of my undergrad classes, but it was one of those books that we were recommended to have by the time I took my bioengineering fundamentals class. Reasons? Simple. It does an awesome job of explaining everything. Long story short. There may not be as much images as you'd find in, say, Fox's Human Physiology (check out my review there), but for one thing, this is the comprehensive tome of knowledge if you want to know even the details, nuts, and bolts behind physiology. And even if you aren't really trying to teach yourself physiology or do this for fun, it always makes a great addition to the bookshelf of any physician or bioengineer. The fact that I'm an undergrad and we use this book by the time we hit sophomore year goes out to show how well it is written. Grade: A++++++......(infinity)
