I am a medical student and purchased this for a quick reference for both information and illustrations. The information is not anywhere near enough for what I need to know but gives a good fairly detailed overview of essentials of major pathologies, and also excellent illustrations. I could look every single thing up either on line or in my textbooks, but this gives me the essentials instantly. While learning it gives me a structure to pin additional information on, and in reviewing it serves as a reminder.For the lay person it would definitely serve as an excellent resource. The information is reliable, easy to understand, all in one place, and provides excellent illustrations.For a student in college this would be an excellent companion to your text--it is a bit of an illustrated "cliff" notes for pathology.For a teacher this would be a useful spring-point for teaching and lectures.All of the pages are decent card-stock and one sided so they could easily be used as posters, and could be useful in patient education.
This is a gorgeous book. It's like a coffee-table art book of medical information. Oversized with heavy glossy pages that are really small posters. Chock-full of really great information about each topic. Some pages might be a big wordy and people might need to put their reading glasses on to see it all. I love how each poster is different, mixing up the styles to keep it fresh and almost entertaining. I keep this in one of my exam rooms and find patients reading it all the time. I wish I had this as a medical student - it would be a perfect gift for one!
This is a sister book to System and Structures. This book has 72 pages which are a glossy cardboard type page showing the particular disease or disorder of the human body. Each page is highly detailed with includes the information on the condition and is vividly colored showing Cross section of the organs and diseases. As was noted in one of reviews, the printing is extremely small requiring either good glasses of a nice magnifying glass which is the best way to view them. If the pages were full size posters the printing would not be as hard to read but with these 2 books, I now have probably every chart on ananomy/Phisiology all in an organized spiral bound book. I wish that I would have researched closer when I was ordering anatomy chart in full size. These 2 books which have a total of about 115 charts will cost about $54.00. By me buying the 6 or 7 large individual posters I spent to $100.00 and need a huge wall or office to display them . These books are perfect coffee table size other to be on a counter in the doctors office. I am taking Anatomy/Phisiology classes online and along with my large human torso model have pretty much all my study material in front of me. Highly recommend these 2 books vs the combined ones on sale as they don't have nearly as many charts as these books do.
Used this to study for a pathophysiology class for nursing school...really great summaries of each disease and disorder with pictures (drawings) to help further understanding. Definitely a resource I will keep as a reference during my career as an RN
I searched for this book after seeing a similar one in my Dr's office. I teach a high school Medical Terminology course, which also discusses diseases and disorders.What I especially like about this book are the pictures; they are very thorough and detailed, but in a manner where my students are still able to understand and grasp the concept. Next to each picture is a written explanation, which can be somewhat advanced at times. As a result, my students do not seem to read the book, as the pictures seem suffice. In some cases, the book also shows pictures of the progression or sequence of a disease or disorder.I am also working on my masters in Biological Sciences. The explanations of the diseases and disorders help me in some of my classes.Overall, I have gotten much use out of this book and recommend it, even it you are only wanting to use it as a reference book.
Great book for those interested in anatomy and pathology, but I only gave it 3 stars because the text (words) are TINY! Get a good magnifying glass to go with this book. It looks like these may be wall charts that were reduced to book-size. I purchased this for my 13 year-old who is interested in medicine and he really liked it, dragged it to school to read and finished it in a few weeks, but even with his sharp eyes, it was difficult to read the text.
Excellent resource for educating patients. Good information, and excellent selection of diseases represented. Would be too much information for a consumer to purchase on their own, but perfect for doctor's office resource.
I'm a nursing student that was looking for a study aid to go along with my required textbooks. I love this book! It's perfect for those who like to incorporate visual aids with their readings. However, I would not use this as a resource alone in place of textbooks unless you already know a great deal about the subjects at hand.
