Comments: This copy is in better than acceptable condition. I listed same as acceptable, because of the flaws. There are highlights and underlining in parts of the copy. No tears. Tight spine. Some pages to the bottom of copy have smooth-out dog-ears. Side fore-edge has 2 small brown stains which partly seeps on to a few pages to back. No Dust Jacket. Soft Cover has moderate/lots of shelf/edge wear. Apart from flaws, one can get a lot out of this copy at an affordable price. (L3-67)

Lacking enough detail in spots

I feel like this was a much bigger A&P textbook that was cut down into an "Essentials" version. Every now and then you'll be faced with a term in passing as if you already understand it, when it hasn't been presented at all. It's almost like a paragraph is missing every few pages. This feeling gets worse when you try to use the online or CD quizzes which will ask questions you can not possibly answer with this text book. If you're taking a very generic class where the teach doesn't expect you to know more than the bare basics (and is willing to let you skip the parts not adequately explained in this book!) then it's passable. Otherwise, you might need an additional text to muddle through.

I think my instructor had a lot to do with it, as well as some changes in study habits since I went to college the first time (2.68). But this book definitely helped. I had a 96 average in class. It's not an easy read, nor is something to try to do without some class notes, but I thought it was clear and informative.

This book was purchased for a high-school course.
Class hasn't started yet so can't rate the book
properly. I presume that it is good because the
school chose it.
