Editorial Reviews:

An excellent introduction to the structure and function of the human body, Marieb's classic uses an easy-to-read writing style that provides accurate and thorough coverage, while making concepts easy to understand. The Sixth Edition features a new "Focus on Careers" section that uses interviews with working professionals, and also comes packaged with the bestselling A.D.A.M. The Inside Story software.

Summary: disappointment
Comment: The book was falsely advertised. Not the 08 version but the 94 edition. Had stupid doodles on it. The seller owned this book as a little kid, and is now looking to make money off of it. Nice deception. You got paid for it. Way to go.

Summary: Lacking enough detail in spots
Comment: I feel like this was a much bigger A&P textbook that was cut down into an "Essentials" version. Every now and then you'll be faced with a term in passing as if you already understand it, when it hasn't been presented at all. It's almost like a paragraph is missing every few pages. This feeling gets worse when you try to use the online or CD quizzes which will ask questions you can not possibly answer with this text book. If you're taking a very generic class where the teach doesn't expect you to know more than the bare basics (and is willing to let you skip the parts not adequately explained in this book!) then it's passable. Otherwise, you might need an additional text to muddle through.

Summary: Good shopping experience
Comment: Item was in exact condition as quoted and received in a pretty reasonable time frame. Would buy from this seller again.

Summary: Made an A in A&P
Comment: I think my instructor had a lot to do with it, as well as some changes in study habits since I went to college the first time (2.68). But this book definitely helped. I had a 96 average in class. It's not an easy read, nor is something to try to do without some class notes, but I thought it was clear and informative.

Summary: Human Anatomy
Comment: This book was purchased for a high-school course.
Class hasn't started yet so can't rate the book
properly. I presume that it is good because the
school chose it.
