Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults & Children review:1 stars (Not happy with book) - While I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this book, I must admit is very difficult to follow. The material itself is complex enough. However, the text forever will state something that talks about another disease process or physiological system discussed 20 chapters ahead (literally). I found myself using an excellent A&P book to get my A in this class at this point; nothing to do with this book. The diagrams of the brain etc. are amateurish. The book fails to explain terms: the index, honestly, is useless..most of what I look for is not even in there. Personally, I am disappointed in this book. yes..it has a ton of information for reference; for actual learning..I'd have looked elsewhere.5 stars (Saved my life!) - The text that accompanies this study guide is very detailed and difficult to get through. The study guide helped me to focus on the important aspects within each chaper. I credit the study guide for helping me to achieve an "A" in my Pathophysiology class.5 stars (Pathophysiology Made Clear) - This is an outstanding textbook of the subject of pathophysiology. This can be, and is, a difficult subject to grasp the concepts of but this book makes it easier to learn. Gone are the days of boring pictures that don't really help the learning process. There is a good combination of artwork and photographs to illustrate what the text is saying. I am a self-taught student in this field and this book has helped me gain a good understanding of the topic.The chapters all begin relatively basic but move into the areas of in depth knowledge. There are a number of charts and graphs that basically sum up what a portion of a chapter is talking about. It is interesting how this book can be used as a resource text and as an initial learning tool. Whether this book is being used for self study or for a course it is important for the student to have a foundation in anatomy and physiology so they can understand the content better.I really like how this book is very applicable to those who provide emergency medical care. I highly recommend this book to those who are new to the subject of pathophysiology because if its ease to use, its quality and quantity of content. I have benefitted a great deal from this book.
