Fast delivery, great condition! I received my book in less than 3 days! Highly recommended!
Rating: 5 / 5
If you are a graduate student in the sciences or in medical school then this book is not for you at all. Poorly organized sections and questionable sources of info throughout the book. For the number of contributors that were listed I would have expected a more stream-lined text. This book also lacks detail that is necessary to truly understand difficult concepts such as the renal, neuro, cardio, and GI system. I have also found many statements that just aren’t true!
If this book is required for your course I would suggest selling it immediately after it is over. There are many more reputable books available especially from the Lange Series that are a MUCH better resource than this book.

After studying this monster, I feel it is no different than its previous edition. There are very few things that break the subject down to the core where it needs to be. This thing, like the other editions, jumps all over the place. There is no doubt someone who loves this subject needs to write one of these texts as this one leaves a lot to be desired.
