Book Reviews of Human Anatomy & Physiology (7th Edition)
Book Review: Highly detailed A&P approach.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought it while taking medical courses for pre-medical/pre-nursing program. I took both A&P courses at my college, as well as Tutored A&P 1. This book is a classic in its genre and I was happy to have a course that used it.
A&P is the calculus of the introductory medical courses. It requires a lot of studying time to pass, and a comprehensive learning approach in order to exceed. A&P 1 usually covers organs, while A&P covers systems of the human body. This book usually goes for both A&P courses.
Chances are the book you buy will be dictated by book requirements for the course, so I think book selection is not the main focus for A&P book buyers. Using the book optimally, is.
This book by Marieb is very comprehensive. Even the summaries at the end of the chapter that span 2-3 pages of three column bullets. It is very in depth, and I recommend a simpler book to go along with this volume, as it jumps into convoluted details rather quick.
A few lessons I learned for success in A&P seies:
1)A&P is usually a transferable course. So consider taking it at a local community college at a significant discount.
2)The editions of these books are essentially the same. Consider buying an older edition at a significant discount and using that. My book cost me $10 including shipping, and was 2 editions earlier than what other students used in the class.
3)Buy another book with simple descriptions and overviews. For me "Anatomy Coloring Book" was it. It took a paragraph or two to explain how an organ or a system functions. I can then organize information better from Marieb's book.
4)Meet your teacher before class begins. This will give you an idea of how the class will be structured.
5)Join a study group. A regular, focused study group will give you support and provide a new method of learning, which will improve memory connections.
6)See the tutoring support you college offers for this course. The earlier students came to me, the more beneficial it was for them.
Try to get excited about A&P. It should take a lot of study time and can be a fun experience.
