Reader' Reviews

Good Resource / / 2009-12-30
Great book and resource. This will be one of the few texts that don't get sold back to the bookstore!

This is not good book / / 2009-12-29
I am not recommending this book for students and for instructors. There is no much information in the CD and the instructor Resources are not accessible (you have to buy more than 10 books to get instructor resources).

Good Value / / 2009-10-18
It happens to be the recommended text for one of my courses at school, and even though the campus bookstore had it in stock, it was beyond my budget. I got it from amazon.com for about half of what I would have spent if I'd purchased same from the bookstore. Thanks amazon.com!

Get Another Book, Even if Your School Requires This One!! / / 2009-10-02
This book is pretty, I will admit. But the book gives too much information for a basic Pathophysiology book. The book is more like a reference manual. If you are using it for a class, which is likely, you will end up spending much time reading about medical conditions and unnecessary details not needed for success in the course. The index section of the book is of poor quality and you will spend much of your time searching the huge book for topics related to your lecture notes. I highly recommend waiting to speak with your professor to find out if this specific book is necessary, or if he/she recommends another book. Remember, pathophysiology does not differ from book to book. However, much of the information in this book is blatantly inaccurate and the information presented is not orderly or presented in a fashion suitable for student use.

Well written pathophys book / / 2009-09-11
This was the text for my pathophys class in the Nurse Practitioner program I am in. There are only a few select textbooks that I keep and honestly continue to reference: this is one of them. Odds are, if you are looking at this book, you need it for school regardless of what any reviews say; nonetheless, it is actually a good book. Get a copy in good shape in case you decide to keep it like I did.
