Saladin's third edition is the most market responsive text ever published for this course.
This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other anatomy and physiology texts with a unique approach, unparalleled art, and a writing style that has been acclaimed by both users and reviewers. Designed for a two-semester A&P college course, Saladin requires no prior knowledge of college chemistry or cell biology.

This is by far my favorite text on Anatomy and Physiology. Since I was introduced to it in College I have used it time and again in grad school. Saladin has introduced the complexities of A&P in a manner that seems at least, intuitive and memorable. This text brings Anatomy and Physiology together in a way that unifies the body rather than continuously breaking it apart and compartmentalizing. My many thanks to Ken Saladin!

I have used this for my anatomy/physiology classes and found it to be very descriptive & helpful.I have compared the 3rd & 4th edition, there is no difference what so ever; Saladin is a great author as well as a excellent teacher. The 4th edition is only about 30 pages shorter, content taking out...

This book is a very descriptive book on anatomy and the author covers the human body in great detail and provides many examples and good illustrations. Here's why I only gave it 2 stars. This book is NOT an easy read by any means. It is truly college level reading material. I am a student majoring in Nursing and I have to tell you that the author does not do an adequate job of simplifying the material, which gets VERY complex in later chapters. Frequently throughout the text when describing something, say an organ, he will give you every last ounce of info on that organ but truly fail to tell you the BASIC FUNCTION that it performs. He uses a page of text when a paragraph will do. I frequenlty had to have a dictionary by my side reading this. Many of my classmates shared the same opinion. He does not "Dumb it down" so to speak for an average person who is reading this. Frederick Martini's version of Anatomy is much better. He really simplifies the complex concepts and his way of writing is much more decipherable and READER FRIENDLY than Saladin's. Many college students I know have struggled mightily reading through Saladin's technical writing and wish they had a simpler book to read. I probably would have done much better in my anatomy classes had they issued us a better textbook than this complex, indecipherable encyclopedia.

I am beginning medical sch in the fall and needed a solid summer review book. This text is great. The very first ~5 chapters are mostly review concerning organization of the body and various physiologic functions that covers most of the highlights from undergrad. The subsequent section is a great introduction to histology, followed by the body systems, pointing out all bones, joints, muscles, blood vessels, etc. that will be covered again in Gross Anatomy, all while presenting a coherent and easy-to-read accompanying text. In addition the illustrations are WONDERFUL. No sacrifice of details ocurred here.
One of the major contributions of this text is the online study materials. Saladin has provided a plethora of study guides, review questions and exams, all with answers, relevant weblinks (the LUMEN histology slides and practicals are a must), crossword puzzles, and perhaps most helpful, labeling exercises, to help get a firm grasp of the material. Gross is a hard hard hard class, and unless some review is done prior, it's almost impossible to learn and retain all of the material required. This is an excellent summer review tool!
