Basic Science Books

I just finished reading this book cover to cover. The only time I set it down was to wipe away the tears from side-splitting laughter. The chapter on "sneak attack" poos and the "hanging chad" poos made me burst into laughter so hard that...

I had heard this book was amusing and informative, but I found it lacking in both. I can't recommend this book for anything. Don't waste your money.

I think it was a good idea. I expected more information about health and got a little disappointed. Anyway, it is a good bathroom reading.

I have bought more than 15 copies of this book as Christmas gifts and get well gifts. The simple illustrations are easy for children to understand, yet accurate so that they are not mislead by the simplicity.

I loathe the ACB assignments. The amazon feature of looking into the book only shows the first few pages, which happen to be the clearest and largest coloring pages. The rest of the book is torturously time consuming. I really think there are...

Pretty good diagrams...not as good as most of the med school texts, but easier to find what you want. Personally, I'd rather have it pre-colored!

As a support doc for a massage class it is pretty good...maybe should be 4 stars...

Why I hate the Book:
1. The text is often painful to read. I remember I once spent half an hour on just 1 page full of text because it was so boring. Some of it is still "too much" for a med student to know casually, but you'll probably...

The Balance Within reviews the science connecting health with emotions: it differs from competitors in its focus on the history of how mind-body connections were developed, and what it means for the future. From firsthand accounts of breakthrough...

I am the mother of a first year medical student. My daughter was at a loss in her first month at school - struggling with her Gross Anatomy Course. Our family doctor (he is actually a Neuro-Surgeon) suggested that I purchase Netter's "Atlas of...

First thoughts upon opening Netter's -- "wow, this book is gorgeous." But after the first week of anatomy I was cursing it left and right and ended up relying on Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy and Gray's Anatomy for studying.

Netter's is...

This entire book consists of color illustrations of human anatomy. No explanation - just pictures. That was what I was looking for. I got this to study from to improve my drawing. I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. The quality of the...

This is a great book if you already have had teaching and review in neuroscience (usually 1st year of medical school). Use this book only for review and ongoing learning. If you don't have a basis in neuroscience, this text is a little thin on...

I found the actual photos to be great however the presenation of the tracts left a lot to be desired

This atlas served its purpose during our neuro block in medical school. The pics were good, but the illustrations of the different tracks could be better. The design of the atlas made it easy to use; however, the comparisons of the hand drawn...

I have read only part of the book, about 100 pages but I found it to be well written and have seen no mistakes yet. Could the person who wrote the first review give a few examples of the many mistakes they refer to in thier review?

The information in this book is great, but the organization and editing is horrid. I would be reading along and the text would wander off onto other subjects and eventually drift back to where it started.

If you have to have this book, try...

This book was very informative. I do agree, however, that the organization is a bit different from what I am used to. It is educational and I did learn a lot from the book. It was required at my BSN school. If it isn't required and you're...

This book is well written in laymen terms to inform the person who has a threat of cancer of the simple treatment which has a sure cure. It is sad that the medical society has withheld this type natural healing process from the populace. Ms....

The people who say "it makes so much sense" probably have forgotten any science they learned in school. The book is so rife with errors I'll just mention a couple.

One of the biggest pieces of nonsense is the promotion of "electron-rich foods."...

I heard about the simple cancer remedy of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil of Budwig so when I got the chance to read what she herself wrote, I immediately got to read this book.

First thing that struck me was, why this title? Is it...

This book was lots of fun with lots of pictures. These pictures made learning micro interesting and easy. It definitely helped me ace the Boards

This book may be the greatest micro review book in the world. I wouldn't really know. I couldn't get through more than 5 pages without feeling nauseous due to Ridiculously Simple's sense of "humor". I purchased the book because an upperclassman...

The book is great overall.
But it's full of spelling mistakes; they really need to look at that for their next edition.
And I also I dislike this about this book as well ;which is that When they tell you to look at a certain page...
