From reviews of the previous edition:
‘A brilliant physiology textbook! A very good read for beginners and a must for medical students. Well-structured and illustrated, I use it even now in my penultimate year of med school. Definitely recommended.’
‘This is like the bible of 1st and 2nd year medical students everywhere. It gives you MASSES of information at a basic to intermediate level of detail on a MASSIVE range of topics. I would use this as a core text in the early years of study and just as a reference text later on. Would definitely recommend.’
‘I love this book. Perfect for the basic sciences of medicine. If you're in the first or second year of medicine, this book will come in handy. Explanations are simple and understandable. Definitely recommended it to medical students in their preclinical years.’
‘Brilliant book to reference for medical physiology and some anatomy.
Explanations and diagrams are all very clear and have really helped me.’
‘Great for an overview of everything. Use this book as a pre-read before starting a new topic at university for a general understanding.’
‘Excellent introduction to topics in medical school - gives a thorough overview for revision purposes but also enough detail for the pre-clinical years.’
‘Brilliant book - just enough detail for medical school curriculum.’
‘The book is top drawer. Really clear and build concepts neatly. It’s my go to reference book when trying to get some context on medical conditions.’
‘Great referencing book for anyone doing a medical science or bioscience type degree.’
‘If there is one book any type of Medical undergraduate (clinical or science) should purchase then this is it. Written in clear, concise and understandable English it details all aspects of Medical Science that encourage you to read further into specific or general areas without getting clogged up in complicated medical terms and syntax. The book would be suitable even for 2nd year A level science students providing them with a foundation for basic medical science studies as well as those areas of cell science, biochemistry and more specific subjects of human physiological systems. A great credit to the authors for the written content and the invaluable graphs, tables and diagrams which set this book so much farther apart from other Medical Science books. StudentConsult access is an invaluable bonus for those wanting a lighter back pack whilst on the move. Treat yourself this summer or better still find someone to treat you with this inspirational offering.’
‘… This is the textbook I would keep with me for reference and study, it also has in-depth discussion about clinical issues, in particular some of the discussion about diabetes is truly refreshing to see in a primarily physiology textbook. For me, there is no alternative.’
‘… best investment ever! It gives a good grounding in all medical sciences bridging the gap perfectly from A-level to medical school. Once the basic sciences are done there's all the clinical stuff to follow organised by system. It covers complex topics like immunology and acid/base balance in a logical manner. Absolutely essential for the first years of medical school. For all aspiring medical students-this should be the book you buy ready for med school as you WILL use it. Love it!’
‘I am no longer quite so overwhelmed at how to learn background science for medicine and very glad I found this - badly need my own copy so I can scribble all over it and keep it forever now! I'm looking forward to using the StudentConsult access when I do purchase the book so I can access it as an e-book and carry it (and probably many, many other texts) around on my iPad in the future.
Thoroughly recommend it!’
