    Physiology Textbook	Customer Rating:
    I received the book quickly and in perfect condition, and it has been extremely helpful in learning difficult concepts in human physiology. Thanks to this textbook, I've done well in the course!

    
    

    You need this book!!!

    Customer Rating:

    Costanzo is the best phys book ever! It offers the material at the PERFECT level for medical school. Everything is explained very well and is an easy read. This is one book I would say READ THE TEXT! Another good point is that the text reinforces what you have already learned so it becomes thoroughly integrated in your mind. I used her 2nd edition for graduate school, and purchased her 3rd edition for medical school (the 2nd edition got destroyed). The new addition has some slight changes and more color which makes it more user friendly.

    
    

    Amazing Physio Book	Customer Rating:
    It is one of the best books I've used in med school so far. It gets right down to the point, so you don't have to read through all of the fluff to find what's important like in other books. However, in the same respect, it's not overwhelming like in some texts where you read a paragraph and then wonder if it was even written in English. This is a must for any med student.

    
    

    Great physio book	Customer Rating:
    This physio book is great. It easily and effortlessly breaks down the physiology that occurs in the human body without getting too technical or clinical. It delivers the basics and little fluff. Great book to read.

    
    

    If you are in med school just buy this book and start reading	Customer Rating:
    While drinking from the firehouse of knowledge this book is your best friend. It's really a must buy for any med student. Her other book is less helpful. Boron & Boulpaep (etc) take WAY too much time.
