Human Anatomy and Physiology with Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite, 8th Edition Review
There is so much in the book, with great illustrations and almost too many "key terms" to handle. I enjoyed the flow and thought the way everything was laid out made sense. With all that said, a lot of "key terms" where so jammed together that they weren't thoroughly explained. Main concepts had half/full page detailed flow charts and diagrams, but not enough on the little stuff.
Human Anatomy and Physiology with Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite, 8th Edition Overview
With the Eighth Edition of the top-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology book, trusted authors Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn have produced the most accessible, comprehensive, up-to-date, and visually stunning anatomy & physiology book on the market.

Not much difference between editions - Alchymical Mason - Cosmos
I used the previous (7th) edition and got an "A" in my online Anatomy and Physiology class. From what I could tell, there was no difference between the cheaper 7th edition and the ridiculously priced 8th edition except for the picture on the cover!
I gave the book three stars because it was unclear and lacked details in so many areas that it left me confused. I had to clarify a lot of issues by looking them up online.
I resold my book after I was finished with it for the same amount of money I paid for it so all it cost me was the initial shipping fee.
FYI - I quit buying books at my campus bookstore after the first semester and have saved over 00.00 so far, just by buying used, previous editions.
The latest ploy these unscrupulous bookstores use is to package up a bunch of useless items with the necessary textbook and sell the "bundle" at an outrageous price. It is criminal.
I always ask the instructors before hand what other materials are required and if I can use the previous edition. 99 percent of the time they tell me the ONLY thing I need is the textbook and the previous edition is OK. Occasionally a professor will insist on the current edition and I still save a ton of money buying it used on Amazon.com. When I am finished, I re-sell them and usually get all my money back!
We need to get the word out about the college bookstore textbook scams! It is an OUTRAGE!

This is very good book, very easy to read and has great questions throughout text that quiz you on the sections you have just read. I definitely recommend it for anyone studying this subject.
