About this deal

A strength of this book is the clarity and the style in which it is written. The language is not likely to intimidate first year anatomy and physiology students. Only selected chapters/sections were examined for the purposes of this review. Several issues were identified in the Cardiac Physiology section (6.4). For example, the authors write that during exercise, “as [heart rate] HR continues to increase, [stroke volume] SV gradually decreases due to decreased filling time.” This is incorrect. During incremental exercise, in relatively untrained adults stroke volume initially increases and then plateaus while heart rate continues to increase, but in endurance trained athletes, while the magnitude of increase in stroke volume is greatest in the early stages, stroke volume continues to increase throughout exercise (ref: Exp Physiol 2002 Sep;87(5):613-22 // J Appl Physiol 2008 Jan;104(1):276-8). Further, to estimate maximal heart rate, the authors refer to the 220-age equation. This equation is generally considered inferior to the Tanaka equation (208-(0.7 x age)) (ref: J Am Coll Cardiol 2001 Jan;37(1):153-6). The authors of this textbook seemed to take special care in sectioning content information within each chapter. The sectioning of this information makes it easier to read. The smaller chunks of information makes it easier for the reader to digest. The text does not appear to culturally insensitive or offensive. Many of the photographs used to support the learning objectives include people of a variety of races.

The overall organization is good. Since our anatomy and physiology sequence is divided into two semesters, we cover bones and muscles early in the sequence. This book covers them after cardiovascular, respiratory and lymphatic systems. Though you may approach a course in anatomy and physiology strictly as a requirement for your field of study, the knowledge you gain in this course will serve you well in many aspects of your life. An understanding of anatomy and physiology is not only fundamental to any career in the health professions, but it can also benefit your own health. Familiarity with the human body can help you make healthful choices and prompt you to take appropriate action when signs of illness arise. Your knowledge in this field will help you understand news about nutrition, medications, medical devices, and procedures and help you understand genetic or infectious diseases. At some point, everyone will have a problem with some aspect of their body and your knowledge can help you to be a better parent, spouse, partner, friend, colleague, or caregiver. I did not find any real grammatical issues. I did find some spelling issues (not really errors), but I am an American reviewing this Australian textbook. The information provided in the book is relevant and can withstand the test of time. This book will not become obsolete within a short span of time. It would be easy to update this textbook with new images and examples.This latest edition has been thoroughly updated by a team of international contributors to reflect the current Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards for Education, with enhanced online learning resources including an image bank, a searchable online glossary, flashcards, interactive multiple-choice questions, and more. Offering a user-friendly introduction to anatomy and physiology, this textbook:

The textbook is straight forward and to the point. It is a fairly easy read, and the images assist with clarifying the content. I did have a problem with the clarity of some images used. Some of the pictures are blurry, but this should be an easy fix. I liked the interactive glossary. Each section from each chapter had a separate glossary. All subject areas are covered appropriately, and effectively, but I believe that the Joints (Articulations) need a separate chapter. Broken down into typical systems-based chapters, a style used in many textbooks. This makes it easy for students to follow. In the context of anatomy and physiology, the term “sex” is conventionally preferred over the use of “gender”, however throughout the book the authors refer to gender-differences.
