The book is designed so that it can be read casually, with highly technical details separated into concise sections that can be skipped if not needed。 For people informed about the subject then it can act as a refresher and easy reference。 This practical approach makes the book a sure hit。 They deliver on what they promise exactly。 Just by reading the introduction you will know if this book is for you or not。

Good for recaps!

I am an engineer, so I really do not know much about Anatomy, and as the title suggest a dummy :-) The book is not a simple read and it did take me a while to go through it, but it did worth it。 The concepts are complicated, and a lot of sections walked me through what is still an active area of research。 Now, I understand why I need to be super careful with my body and all the complications that chemicals and medications would cause and how they heal。 The book also explains some differences bet I am an engineer, so I really do not know much about Anatomy, and as the title suggest a dummy :-) The book is not a simple read and it did take me a while to go through it, but it did worth it。 The concepts are complicated, and a lot of sections walked me through what is still an active area of research。 Now, I understand why I need to be super careful with my body and all the complications that chemicals and medications would cause and how they heal。 The book also explains some differences between humans and animals which was also very helpful for me。 Great read in my opinion。 。。。more

The content is too superficial for learners。

I read this book without any formal physiology background (indeed I was a perfect dummy in Anatomy and Physiology) and this book definitely lived up to its name。

A good over view and supplemental text to go with what ever your professor uses。

Kristina Johnston

The market is not very kind to layman interested in learning new subjects。 Very Short Introductions series attempt to render them both academic and accessible but their authors usually mistake very short for concise; concise for condensed; condensed for indigestible。 The Dummies series takes the other end of the spectrum, condescendingly viewing readers as dummies。 Reading about anatomy and physiology is interesting insofar as it explains how and why our body succeed to function with such The market is not very kind to layman interested in learning new subjects。 Very Short Introductions series attempt to render them both academic and accessible but their authors usually mistake very short for concise; concise for condensed; condensed for indigestible。 The Dummies series takes the other end of the spectrum, condescendingly viewing readers as dummies。 Reading about anatomy and physiology is interesting insofar as it explains how and why our body succeed to function with such amazing mechanisms。 Sometimes I wonder that we ask the wrong question。 Instead focusing on why we get sick and die, we should focus on why we can live and survive so long。 Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies is a serviceable overview of this complex subject。 Materials are obviously diluted but generally more accessible than the Very Short Introductions series。 One flaw is the simplistic diagrams which lack labelings and names of the body parts the main body refers to。 I need another atlas of body to supplement them。 。。。more

This book was okay。 Some of the information didn't seem to fit with the basic idea of the book。 This book was okay。 Some of the information didn't seem to fit with the basic idea of the book。 。。。more

Took a while but then also finished it due to I took an Anatomy and Physiology class just last semester and went over all this stuff and more but all and all great read if you want a basic over view of the human body and how it works。

A great introduction to your body。 I learned more than expected。

Good supplementary reading or refresher for basic anatomy and physiology studies。

I read most of this, but kinda skimmed through, and would just look up certain things。I didn't sit and read the whole thing。 I read most of this, but kinda skimmed through, and would just look up certain things。I didn't sit and read the whole thing。 。。。more
