This is a great textbook for any health assessment nursing course or for anyone who just wants to know more about the human body and its functions. I like the way each chapter is broken up into subjective and objective data as well as providing age appropriate information for each topic. There are great pictures and a CD that help to better understand the subject matter.
I absolutely love this book. It is so much easier to read than any of the other 50 or so textbooks I have weighing down my bookshelves.
I don't know if it's the un-fussy writing style, or the abundance of pictures that make it more interesting than others like it, but I will say that for once, I do not dread my reading assignments.
Thanks for such an interesting book!
(When I start my career, I will upgrade to the next edition for sure)
