Reviews

[Maria Elizabeth]

It was just an easy read of the human body. If you are taking a basic biology class or are simply interested in getting to know the human body a bit more in depth this book will be perfect for you. It isn’t hard to understand and things are explained really well. Not much else to say, it’s just an informative book about the human body.

4,5/5. The title says it all! A very nice little atlas of the human body. The good explication and the simple organization made it easy to consult and browse through, I read it cover to cover, but you can easily just search through it for specific information. The graphic and picture, all color, also help greatly to understand and visualize the concept presented. I do think that some part could have go deeper and that author did get very deep into the subject, so that would be the little minus I give it, the different levels of depth from some categories to others. But it did gave me a nice introduction to anatomy and now I want to find more book and continue to study this subject. Nice book for beginners I would say!

Concise and beautifully illustrated book which covers the basics of the different systems in the human body. I read with the purpose of refreshing on the fundamentals since I finished my biomedical science degree and it certainly helped in keeping my knowledge in check!

[C.A. Gray]

This was a good review of anatomy primarily, with a little bit of physiology and pathology thrown in. It would definitely have been better in physical book format, as it's a textbook, but I read it as an e-book. I've been out of med school for 14 years now, and it's been 17 since I was in anatomy, so good refresher for some of the nuances I don't deal with on a regular basis. If I'd never studied it before, though, this would definitely not be the way I'd have done it.

Detailed review of the body

I read this a few pages at a time each evening to absorb one area of the body at a time. It presented things about growth and function that helped me understand things, like puberty and aging (for example wrinkled skin) that I never really thought about. Learned a bunch of little things!

5/5 helped me big deal pass my anatomy classes.

[Robert]

very easy to read and a great general reference. Recommend to anyone interested in the human body

[Adam]

Great Book

Informative in all formats for all ages definitely got me back on the level quickly
Definitely should give this book a try

[Grace Cho]

Very clear and the illustrations are nice.

The diagrams in this book are excellent. Very clear and visually engaging. It's great for any high-school student or just a neat reference book for the common person to have around.

My favorite part about this book is the part about diseases, especially the part of diseases about reproduction and birth. I learn that the disgusting, brown things in the uterus are called fibroids. Sometimes the embryo settles and develops on the fallopian tube. When the embryo gets bit, the fallopian tube explodes and kills the mother and baby. Sometime the father's sperm and the mother's antibodies go together to meet the egg, but the antibodies attack the sperm, so that would be a low sperm count. As a result, it would be hard to fertilize the egg. I also learn that at first the head is huge for the embryo. But then the embryo grows more like an adult.

The illustrations were amazing. The human body is so complicated. Its amazing. This book me though every part of the body. There is so much to remember. I wonder if anyone person can remember everything about the body. I know I have not been able to. Maybe I should read Rememeber it over again.
Biology is hard for me. I want to learn it. So I hope to learn more books about the human body. If I read enough books about it I am bound to remember. I am glad I read the concise human body book. I only wish I remember more of what I read. They is so much to remember about the human body as I said above.

Great for visual learners, this book is an invaluable "atlas" of the human body and the on-going processes.
