Through a visually appealing design, "The Human Body in Health and Illness, 3rd Edition" describes complex concepts in a more simplified way and applies them to patient care. Aimed at students whose background in science is limited, the text assumes the reader has no previous knowledge in biology, chemistry, or physics and makes the information easy to read and understand. The text includes unique cartoons that use humor to make learning the content more enjoyable. The book also employs a body-systems approach to discuss the basic concepts of anatomy and physiology, building up from simple to complex topics.
Excellent
| Customer Rating: | | This is an awesome and easy to read book. I took A&P I & II with the author Herlihy as my professor. At the end of the semester, I sold the book back to the bookstore. Who new that after I graduated and decided I wanted to go back to nursing school, I would be looking to re-buy the book online! |
Great Anatamy & Physio Book
| Customer Rating: | | I was required to get this textbook for the anatomy and physiology class that I am taking. It is a GREAT book. It is easy enough to understand which will allow me to use it when I beging to teach HS Bio. It also comes with a CD-rom which allows you to color and name the different parts of different systems. I highly recommend this book! |
The Human Body in Health and Illness, Second Edition
| Customer Rating: | | This book is really easy to reed and to follow. It goes in depth but the pictures and the way that the vocabulary is explained makes it fun, interesting and easy to comprehend. It is the best Anatomy and Physiology book that I have read so far. |
Good Book but Lacks Details
| Customer Rating:  | | It's a good book, it's just a tad basic. Meaning it was written in mind for students just out of high school, adult learning and where English is a second language. The main topics are covered for A&P, but it distinctly lacks detail. What I mean by that is, it does a good job covering anatomy (the pictures are really nice), but the physiology aspects of the human body is not covered very well. For example, Kreb's cycle in Herlihy's book is a one sentence mention. It's not even discussed. The book just doesn't compare to Elaine Marieb's Human Anatomy & Physiology edition. I own both textbooks and found myself going back to Marieb's. Marieb's text is over 1000 pages where Herlihy's is less than 500 pages. Our instructor (a Dr.), didn't once pull out this book, but he did use Marieb's as a reference. If you plan on just passing A&P use this book, but if you plan to understand the human body and ace your A&P use Marieb's. |
Fabulous!
| Customer Rating: | | This is a great textbook - a fun, readable format for a topic that could very easily be really dry. Other texts I have used in continuing my nursing studies have paled in comparison to this one, which I used in my first course, A&P. Nothing can live up to this. Good job! |
