5.0 out of 5 stars This book was awesome. I rented it instead of purchasing it
Verified PurchaseThis book was awesome. I rented it instead of purchasing it. I saved over $180 by renting it instead of buying it on campus and even Amazon, as always, sold it cheaper. The book is so detailed and has great pictures to study from. The material is very thorough. I love that the key points at the end of each section where informative but to the point. The book also comes with Esliever(I think thats the name) for study tips and practice questions which is free. You just have to sign up with the site and free study material. Great book for a great rental price and the online study at no additional charge. Every student can use that :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Anschaulichstes Pathophysiologie Buch am Markt
Verified PurchaseDie Grafiken sind die besten, die ich bisher in dem Bereich gesehen habe. Der Style ist sehr modern, und alle Zeichnungen etc. sind mit zeitgemäßen Computerprogrammen erstellt - es gibt nicht viele (wenn überhaupt) "Überbleibsel" aus alten Lehrbüchern oder Vorauflagen.
Aufgrund der modernen Grafiken macht das Lesen Freude und gerade wer visuell lernt, kommt hier auf seine Kosten. Die texte sind ausführlich genug, um Grundlagen zu erklären. Mir haben besonders die Kapitel zum Herz-Kreislauf System gefallen.
Bei den Texten hakt es manchmal an der Grammatik, zumindest empfinde ich das so. Die Schrift ist sehr klein aber gerade noch akzeptabel.
Inhaltlich wird alles ausreichend abgedeckt und ist den Referenzen nach auf dem aktuellsten Stand bei Veröffentlichung der vorliegenden Auflage.
Kritikpunkte gibt es wenige: Der Satzbau ist manchmal nicht ganz optimal und bei einigen Abbildungen/Zeichnungen wünscht man sich weitere Strukturen benannt (wenn auch die wichtigsten Sachen in den Zeichnungen benannt werden, gibt es doch manchmal Dinge, die nicht gekennzeichnet sind).
Es gibt auch Alternativen, die ausführlicheren Text bieten aber dann eben nicht mit den Abbildungen mithalten können:
Porth's Pathophysiology (Sheila Grossman, Carol Mattson Porth), 9. Auflage
Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children (Kathryn L. McCance, Sue E. Huether) 7. Auflage

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Textbook
Verified PurchaseThis book is probably one of the best textbooks I've purchased in a while. It is perfect for anyone who's in medical school or in any aspect of the medical/health field. Personally I felt like this book truly tied in all of the relevant information from embryology, anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology etc to it's applicable organ system. Great book overall especially when wanting a thorough review of med school basic sciences. 😊

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought I was going to just rent this but I decided to purchase this because I really liked this book
Verified PurchaseI purchased a kindle version. I thought I was going to just rent this but I decided to purchase this because I really liked this book. Probably it is a huge book to carry. I put it on my iPad and I read this book everywhere. I loved it. I will probably read this book over and over until my board or clinicals. It is easy to understand. Well, some parts are confusing and misleading to be honest. But overall, it was great.
