For those taking the one-semester Human Anatomy course
Praised for its atlas-style format, appropriately detailed anatomical illustrations, and exceptionally clear photographs of tissues and cadavers, Human Anatomy is now more visual and interactive. The Eighth Edition includes new one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics. New QR codes let you use a smart phones to link directly from figures in the book to figures in the Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™) virtual anatomy program, giving you additional views for learning bones and muscles. The end-of-chapter Study Outlines now have memory-triggering visuals to help you remember chapter content.
I bought this text book for $9, online, because I couldn't afford the $180 textbook assigned for the class and now all of my classmates look at my book instead of their own. This offers a great visual for learning the body and clear definitions along with helpful guiding instructions makes this a winner.
Although the book was very informative on basic anatomy and had great diagrams, it still makes me cringe. This book did not help me at all. The class was more of a combination of Anatomy and Physiology and this book was strictly Anatomy.
Yes, I now can identify bones, muscles, nerves, organs, etc. However, the book did not help me figure out the interactions between structures.
Maybe not the book's fault? Probably. But I am still angry.
