Required by professor

Book arrived in time. Is in excellent condition.

As a professor who chose this textbook for my students let me contradict the low review(s) given by students. The "jargon" that is used in the book could also be called vocabulary. And speaking clearly, concisely, and using proper terminology is a skill expected of every professional. The 'jargon' is in fact the proper terminology used in the proper way. When it comes to the organization of the book, it feel it is a good as any other textbook on the subject. The reality is that this course could not be taught properly without a pre-requisite study of A&P or ExPhys. It is true that many concepts are related and linked in this content area. I don't see that that could be resolved by re-ordering the textbook. The book contains lots of graphs, tables, and other pop-outs. That is critical in my view. I wish it had more, but it is one of the best on the market for visual representation of concepts and information.

I realize that no one gets to choose which textbooks they use for classes, just wanted to forewarn that this is an AWFUL textbook for learning. Disorganized, unclear, and riddled with jargon and statistics and numbers sprinkled throughout the text.

This e-textbook does NOT include access to the online video! And no description mentions this. Ane when I realized this, the return time already expired.
