Great book!“This is THE best Anatomy & Physiology book I've ever used. Clear and easy to understand. Some of the areas of physiology I've had problems with in the past were made clear this term with this book! I had to have it for class of course, but I'd also read it for fun. (I plan to keep the book instead of sell it)”—A. Francis

- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023Using this now for my 11th grade homeschooled highschool son.
He's smart when it comes to science so this has been ok for him to use and challenges him and teaches him new things he didn't know. I supplement this book with other worksheets (like pictures with the book) and hands on activities that correspond. Highly recommended.
