Superb - By: Mr. S. Hollins, 12 Apr 2007 
As with all Dummies books, this one is excellent. Covers all areas of Anatomy & Physiology from A'Level & through to at least 2nd Year Degree level. Physiological Systems & Anatomy are explainedin a humorous way with many well thought out analigies to really give you a understanding of complex subjects. once again if you are doing A'Level or starting a degreein any human based science then this is a must have. Superb
Ain't the body great? - By: Paul Baldry, 21 Dec 2006 This book is really good at getting someone from basic biology to understanding how the body works. The book flows through from cells to organs & then onto how the organs work together, just so that you can still be alive to read this review!
It does try to make light of things, with jokes here & there (you may even giggle at some of them too) & also lots of examples to help things sink-in.
Great book that's really easy to understand. - By: , 22 Oct 2004 This is a great book which I highly recommend. It explains everythingin very simple terms making it easy to get your head round. I am a nursing student & used it to help me through my anatomy & physiology exam. It was fantastic for helping me to lay the foundations needed to get to grips with some of the more complicated aspects of a&p. That said it was not as detailed as I would have needed to completely get me through the exam. I found it worked well as a book to read before looking at the more detailed & technical text books which are a lot more daunting.
It uses lots of every day examples to make things easier to understand & remember. For example it likens the negative & positive feedback systems within the body to a thermostat like you might havein your home which will only make changes if the environmental temperature changes.
Makes anatomy & physiology very accessible.
