 Highly detailed A&P approach. December 14, 2008
I bought it while taking medical courses for pre-medical/pre-nursing program. I took both A&P courses at my college, as well as Tutored A&P 1. This book is a classic in its genre and I was happy to have a course that used it.
A&P is the calculus of the introductory medical courses. It requires a lot of studying time to pass, and a comprehensive learning approach in order to exceed. A&P 1 usually covers organs, while A&P covers systems of the human body. This book usually goes for both A&P courses.
Chances are the book you buy will be dictated by book requirements for the course, so I think book selection is not the main focus for A&P book buyers. Using the book optimally, is.
This book by Marieb is very comprehensive. Even the summaries at the end of the chapter that span 2-3 pages of three column bullets. It is very in depth, and I recommend a simpler book to go along with this volume, as it jumps into convoluted details rather quick.
A few lessons I learned for success in A&P seies:
1)A&P is usually a transferable course. So consider taking it at a local community college at a significant discount.
2)The editions of these books are essentially the same. Consider buying an older edition at a significant discount and using that. My book cost me $10 including shipping, and was 2 editions earlier than what other students used in the class.
3)Buy another book with simple descriptions and overviews. For me "Anatomy Coloring Book" was it. It took a paragraph or two to explain how an organ or a system functions. I can then organize information better from Marieb's book.
4)Meet your teacher before class begins. This will give you an idea of how the class will be structured.
5)Join a study group. A regular, focused study group will give you support and provide a new method of learning, which will improve memory connections.
6)See the tutoring support you college offers for this course. The earlier students came to me, the more beneficial it was for them.
Try to get excited about A&P. It should take a lot of study time and can be a fun experience.
 Best of the best when it comes to A&P September 29, 2008
My first copy of Marieb's Anatomy and Physiology (4th Edition - 1997) was a gift. Even though I was too young to get into the nitty gritty of physiology at that time, I wore out the chapters on skeletal and muscular anatomy. Since then, this book has been one of my most prized reference texts. I refuse to part with my 4th edition which has served me well for so many years but I finally decided to update and get the 7th edition.
This is a fantastic text. The chapters have been updated to reflect the latest findings (ie: genetics) and the artwork is top-notch. Most importantly, the organization of the information is outstanding, making it very readable and a very reliable quick reference. There is an appropriate level of detail for undergraduate students as well as graduate/professional students. The text would not be overwhelming for a high-school age student if they are very interested in the subject. I have given other A&P texts a thorough review and none stand close to this work. You can expect future editions to continue improving, as Dr. Marieb has shown a real commitment to keeping this the top book on the market.
Met my needs...... September 23, 2008
When the professor tells you to buy a book, you do it. What else can I say? It met my needs. I just wish that these books were a little less expensive.
Human Anatomy and Physiology 7th edition September 16, 2008
I would recommend ordering this book. Why pay nearly as much for a used book when you get if for new for a little bit more. It was a lot cheaper than half.com by e-bay and definately cheaper than purchasing it from the bookstore. It's just what I needed for my freshman course.

I bought this book for the semester. So far from what I have managed to read for class had been very helpful. It came with an atlas, internt connect, and cd-rom. I thought I was only getting the text. So this would be a great purchase. I enjoy the book so far.
