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.

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", and that phrase has been dropped from the third edition. I think the phrasing was probably reasonable at the time the second edition was in preparation.

I would never go so far as to say any text is error-free. However, when I think I've found mistakes in here it's more likely to turn out that the folks at Terminologica Anatomica have changed something underneath me - like moving the macula densa from the distal convoluted tubule to the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

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 I have it, but I still had to fork out $100+ for the actual textbook!
