This book was assigned to me to read in college. It was 28 chapters long, but my readings did not cover all the chapters; some of the chapters' units were not required. Therefore, I cannot pretend that I read the entire 1400 pages. rather I only read about 1200 pages or so.

Anyway, this book was amazing. it explained all the fine details of the human body structurally and functionally, in a simple and comprehensible way. The organization of the book, along with the explanations, definitions, review questions, notes, and summaries helped to simplify the information and supported my understanding of all the concepts.

Everything in this book allowed for better understanding, and it was all facilitated and clearly described, with graphs and images to make it even easier.

I loved this book and ,after I finished the term, I decided to keep it on my flash drive, so that I could come back to it whenever I needed a revision.

The effort put to execute this book was so clear, and the organization was of a very high level.

This was the first time for me to really enjoy reading a school book, because this was an encyclopedia, not just a normal textbook.

I haven't read every single page in this book, but I did read most of the chapters for my college assignments. The book's uniqueness lies in the fact that it contained links for external videos, websites for additional understanding, innovations in art, terminology, career orientation, practical applications, and multimedia-based learning. Therefore, the book is not only about the anatomy of the human body and the physiological function of every organ, but it also discussed many diseases, disorders, and their causes, and many other related things. Nonetheless, this book contained clear illustrations and images as well as quizzes at the end of each chapter. Indeed, it is a comprehensive book.

However, while studying, sometimes I felt the need for more illustrations, so I added more pictures inside my PDF copy, and sometimes I sought simpler explanations from outside sources. But overall, it is a great book in its field, and eventually, it is free!

I read this most of this year so I will mark it down as a reading! I am premed so I will be stuck with a lot of reading, ESP textbooks, for the next 8 years sigh.. But overall, this was alright I’m a bit peeved that I still had to fish out condensed explanations through google dot com; as well as cited sources that’s been peer reviewed, but it’s alright since knowledge from varied sources are always great. Ofc I didn’t read it all, I’m not a crazy person so kudos to whoever sits down and read the whole thing.

I had to read this book again today because it reminds me of my childhood it has so many spoilers for my future I cannot begin to comprehend when will I actually see results of a practical nature in my own body but hey that's life and c'est cool la vie avec toi would recommend this book to anyone who likes to be overprepared about the human body actually I'm afraid If I read again I will get yet another amazing idea to dream about many thanks from romania

I did not read all 1400 pages rather just the ones needed for my studies. Information is laid out nicely, lots of references for further understanding. Awesome for an open source textbook!

Pretty good

Nice book to go back and brush on somethings. Easy to understand. A little more graphic detail would’ve been preferred.

Insights

Excellent book introducing one to basic anatomy and physiology. The questions after the chapter probe our understanding of the subject well. Well written and recommended.

Very helpful when giving more insight on the topics.

[Rochelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great academic textbook. Very easy to follow which isn't too overwhelming. I'm reading out of personal interest in learning more about the body, so it's totally an accessible book even for beginners.

[Muhammad Alamzeb Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent and in depth knowledge can be obtained from this book. I would rate this book 5 star.

[Kim Phan · Rating 3 out of 5]

How am I supposed to rate a textbook? A review, a walk down the memory lane during my academic years. Can I count this as read 4 times since I did read each chapter 4 times AND to studied the materials? Don’t ask me why or for what…
