Reviews

An excellent book for providing a good introduction into the wonders of each system of the body..the website is an excellent bonus and I thoroughly enjoyed working through it (Year 2 Nursing Student, University of Salford) I really like this book...the clinical considerations are fabulous, and really grasp the vital need of helping the reader related their readings and teachings to real life care and practice...I really enjoy and respond to the wonderful range of colour used (Year 1 Nursing Student, City University London) Clear, concise and academic (Year 1 Nursing Student, Bucks New University) Contains everything necessary in the one book. I will definitely be using this book as an aid to my revision for my year 2 exam...I will be showing this copy to everyone (Year 2 Nursing Student, University of East Anglia) First and second year nursing students should definitely get a fun, educational book like this for their studies (Year 1 Nursing Student, Glasgow Caledonian University) A very useful book...covers all the topics necessary for a nursing student (Year 1 Nursing Student, University of Abertay Dundee) Initially I thought it seemed too simple BUT it actually contains all the necessary information in a simple manner...More than just a biology book, it actually relates to what a nurse needs to know in practice (Year 2 Student Nurse, Canterbury Christchurch University) Most useful for first year students as it explains everything simply and clearly, but would be a good reference tool for every year while studying, and when in your career... The tables are my favourite bit of the book, really clear to understand the information and summarises everything extremely well. Diagrams are really clear and like the proper pictures for the histology section. (Year 2 Nursing Student, Glasgow Caledonian University)
