Product Description
The eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology marks a new milestone in the publication of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors.

 I very good text December 27, 2008
I thought this was a very good text, has a great online resource also. Be sure to take the sample tests online, to see where you need to study a little bit more.
Always a pleasure ordering from your site September 30, 2008
You site has quality items at reasonable prices, much reasonable than the college bookstore. The items usually come in an adequate amount of time and always in great shape. thanks
A College Textbook Worth Keeping! August 16, 2008
This Anatomy and Physiology textbook is AMAZING! It is filled with vast amounts of information that are tremendously useful for a future in medicine. It is one text that you should NOT sell back! The information covered in this text will be used guaranteed everyday in the medical field. Especially wonderful are the clinical application sections. My professor was a cardiologist and he would often mention that his neurologist friends said our neuro-text was extremely detailed, more so than they had in medical school! Also, the chemistry is VERY detailed. I would suggest having a chem. course prior to this material, it will make your understanding in the chem. sections far greater as to how they pertain to the makeup of our being.
Better deal than the college bookstore August 12, 2008
My daughter is taking Anatomy & Physiology I in Tennessee. The college bookstore wanted $225 for new and $185 for used. I was able to get this from Amazon before the price went up.... for $121.00 It was delivered by UPS to her house in less than a week.
Even though I live in Canada, the ease of using Amazon has never failed me when I order merchandise for myself, my children or grandchildren in the States. Amazon has never ever let me down. I have dealt with their customer service once....when UPS was delivering it to my daughter's apartment and was letting anybody sign for it and she never got the merchandise. Amazon was more than helpful in rectifying the problem when it was not even their responsibility or their fault.
I encourage all college students and/or parents, to check Amazon before purchasing books through the campus book store. On this particular book, I saved $100.
Superb text April 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After going about six years without reading a traditional anatomy and physiology text, I was surprised at the advanced level that this book has reached, as compared to the texts I read during the first few years of this decade. This book offers numerous resources, from special pathological sections to online excercises. In addition, every chapter offers highly detailed diagrams and little tidbit sections to help students better understand the material. Thus, no matter what type of learner you are, this book will offer a way to learn the text that totally fits your style. For those who learn better by seeing and listening, the online material will be helpful and the diagrams in the book are quite comprehensive. For those who learn better by simply reading the text, this book provides the material in regular paragraphs, charts, and advanced diagrams. Finally, for those who are already familiar with the material, and just need a quick review, the end of each chapter has a comprehensive, but terse summary of the material.
