The vivid images provided in this book quickly transported me into complete immersion of human anatomy. The elysian artwork captures my interest and provides me invaluable information making it a truly unforgettable book. I am currently in nursing school and re-educating myself so as not to forget vital understanding of anatomy and physiology. Knowledge fades so I invested in this book to retain what I have, and it has far surpassed expectations. I have taken many classes relating to this field including anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pathophysiology, and will be taking advanced pathophysiology. Therefore I can say that this book has more than enough information for nurses, possibly physician assistants, and nurse practitioners relating to anatomy. This book is not a substitute for college classes however I would wager only a physician could recite most of the information provided in it from memory. It is truly a work of art and I doubt I will ever know the entirety of the information written in it. The negatives of this book include the small print and horizontal pages. Overall the price is very reasonable for what you receive.

Is a great book my daughter read it and learned a bunch of stuff from the book.

As a visual learner this book has the perfect layout with great pictures and diagrams

The pages are so beautiful I feel like I’m looking at a real life body . It’s gonna help me so much with my class .

This book is incredibly detailed and comprehensive, covering all bodily functions thoroughly. While some structures aren’t explored as deeply as I would prefer, overall, it’s an excellent resource.I am a little bummed out with the exterior looks of the book. Mine came with several marks/scuffs and it was not packaged properly at all. I ordered it new but I have a feeling it’s used because of the markings and crumbs in some of the pages.I would return it in hopes of getting one in pristine condition but looking at other reviews I think mine is decent.

Was quite surprised to see the quality of this book. Got this on sale for 25$, good information for those who are interested in the medical field and those are curious about the human body.

Such a great book for a student wanting to get a head start on medicine. Great detailed pictures
