Good Introductory Text for General Education.......2002-02-15
Q> How do you get non-majors interested in biology?
A> Talk about something that's interesting and relevant to them.
This is why we decided to start a Human Health and Disease course for non-biology / non-health science majors. Our philosophy was to lay down the minimum foundation that enabled students to understand most diseases. The problem is finding a text book to support such a course. That's why I'm really grateful to have this text book. I reviewed a dozen others before this and was looking at having to develop my own.
However, it's not perfect. It could be more balanced. For example, why does a student at this level need to know the bones of the skull? I'd also like to have a lab book to go with it, preferrably one that taught some of the concepts in that setting to make lecture less intense for non-majors. Still, developing a lab text for to go with this product is a lot less than I was looking at before, so - Thanks!
Book Description
The new edition of this best-selling text upholds its excellent reputation. As an introduction to basic anatomy and physiology, the organization of the body is traced from the single cell to the coordinated whole. Coverage includes normal and abnormal anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology; basic microbiology, chemistry, and physics. Focus is placed on the interaction of all body systems for the maintenance of a stable internal state, or homeostasis, and explanation is given for conditions that can upset this balance to produce disease. Key features include: student objectives, key terms and study questions in each chapter; a summary outline at the end of each chapter; abundant illustrations to clarify text; a glossary with pronunciations; and a medical terminology section. New and exciting in the 8th edition: 50% of all illustrations are new; 70 new four-color illustrations; many new photographs and micrographs; expanded information on physiology; special interest boxes in each chapter, one on normal function, one presents clinical focus. Also new is an appendix on laboratory values covering urine, blood cells, and blood chemistry.

Memmler's The Human Body in Health and Disease.......2002-09-05
There is some misinformation and lots of typos in this book. I would not rely on this study guide to pass an exam.
The Human Body in Health & Disease, Eigth Edition.......2000-05-04
As a first year nursing student, I found this textbook to be a very useful tool. It contains many charts and photos to help you to understand and "see" the wonders of the human body.
Book Description
This best-selling text teaches massage therapy students and practitioners the essentials of body mechanics they need to know in order to care for themselves while practicing massage therapy. The text is written in a practical, playful, and friendly manner and integrates kinesthetic, cognitive, and environmental elements. Each chapter starts with a brief narrative explanation of a movement, followed by hands-on exercises, self-observation exercises, self-care and injury prevention tips, and client education tips. Appendices discuss successful body mechanics for spa therapy, transferring clients, and floor work, and present troubleshooting and preventive strategies for common repetitive stress injuries.

A new approach.......2005-09-09
I just heard this author speak at a teacher's conference. The material presented was excellent, and reflected the fresh and new approach of this book. I am so pleased that finally there is a book that treats the subject of body mechanics in a functional and practical way. This book is exactly what our profession has been waiting for. Buy it and enjoy!
The Best.......2005-08-25
If you are a massage student, therapist, or teacher of massage therapy, you should buy this book. It's the best book written on body mechanics. It provides all the information needed to sustain a healthy massage career. The burn-out rate for massage therapists is too short; this book will help to eliminate it.
A Gem.......2005-05-20
I've been teaching massage for over 15 years, and in all that time I've never come across such a wonderful book on body mechanics. This book is a gem. As a teacher I find its content up-to-date and concise. The photos are clear, the exercises are brilliant, and the tips for students are an extra bonus. My students have learned an incredible amount from this book, and I see it in their work with each other. I wouldn't be without this book in the classroom, and my students will be so thankful for it after they graduate.
The Best.......2004-11-26
I was recently at a massage convention. This book was by far the best one there on the subject of body mechanics. Its functional approach, illustrations, layout, and overall format not only make it easy to use, but a pleasure as well. All others fail to brighten up an otherwise historically dry subject. It will relight your fire and renew your, perhaps neglected, promise of self-care!
Save Your Body Now!.......2004-09-15
If you are a therapist, of any kind, you must buy this book. I use mine almost everyday to help keep myself injury free - and so far, so good. I also use the "client education tips" regularly to education my clients. The book also has helpful "practice tips" which help me to remember good body mechanics when at the table. I love this book - so will you!
Book Description
Offering a student-friendly writing style, this text presents a body systems approach with a strong emphasis on vocabulary and basic anatomy and physiology concepts, as well as the basic mechanisms of disease and pathologic conditions associated with each body system. This comprehensive text is dominated by two unifying themes: the complementarity of structure and function and homeostasis. The integrating principle of homeostasis is used to show how "normal" structure and function is achieved and maintained. Failures of homeostasis are shown as basic mechanisms of disease. The reader is drawn into the subject by superior illustrations, including cadaver dissections, and other student-friendly features.
Customer Reviews:
massage school book.......2007-03-13
This book is a must have for the massage student. The information is put together in an easy to read format and the study aid is excellent for review and testing.
Not the best.......2006-11-23
I had to buy this book as a text for a class I'm taking for my degree in Medical Transcription. I came into this class with zero background in Anatomy and physiology. There are some things I like about this book and some I don't.
First, this book is jammed full of interesting information. I love the way it breaks down the different body systems and explains them. I also thought the diagrams were very well done and very easy to understand.
Now for the negative. My biggest complaint is that it wasn't always easy to determine what to write down. I wish they would have bolded or italicized key terms. At times, I thought the writing got a little technical and confusing sometimes. Especially the chapter on the nervous system.
Also, I think this text tends to be very wordy. They take a whole paragraph to say something that could easily be said in a couple sentences.
But overall, I think this is a good book for someone who has little or no experience in anatomy and physiology.
A good summer read........2006-05-27
First, let me explain myself a little so that you may know where I am coming from. I am a pre-med biology major who will be a senior for the fall '06 term. I have never had any A&P class whatsoever because the biology department's requirements...well, that is another story. I bought this book because it is not too detailed to lose sight of the big picture but just detailed enough to explain pretty much all the A&P that will be on the MCAT. Of course, this book has tons of stuff that is NOT tested on the MCAT, but I have the examkracker books and I use this book for the (very) few times examkrackers does a poor job explaining things. It's also always good to read the same thing from various sources because the information is much easier to retain that way. I like the pathology that is intermixed throughout the entire book, and the outline pages at the end of each chapter are nice as well as the "case studies" that you are presented with. All in all, this book would be 5 stars for its high yield, one semester A&P (and some pathology) content, but I had to take off one star for the abysmal section on nutrition and metabolism. Glycolysis, CAC, and ETC are barely mentioned. The one or two figures are childish (the others are really good). I may be biased though because I just got out of biochemistry and metabolism was beaten into my brain. Still, I can recommend this to those who want a cheap, basic A&P book to supplement their MCAT Biology studying. The pathology stuff is just bonus and fun to read as sort of a segway into my senior year and my pathology class.
The Human Body in Health and Disease.......2006-03-23
The book uses in depth, even microscopic scientific detail to explain human anatomy and human body functions, and does so in an ultra clear manner, regularly repeating in different words what is most important to understand. Repetition has and always will be the best way to learn. I had to wonder how the text might compare to textbooks used on college and university campuses, since I am using the book simply for an online certification, but for now the new knowledge is a head full for me, and probably will be for some time to come. It is very fun to know so much now about all the parts of the brain and the body, and about how all of our bodies function, subjects I had not previously studied in spite of much higher education.
A good intro to anatomy and physiology.......2001-09-24
This book is designed to be an introduction to A & P and it does that very well. I didn't give the book a perfect 5 star rating for a couple of reasons. First, I have a background in anatomy and found some of their explanations of a few body systems to be confusing even though I already knew the information. This was particularly true of their explanation of the Autonomic Nervous System. In general, most things are explained well and have a lot of really helpful accompanying figures and tables.
The only other thing that I don't particularly like is the way the pathology is integrated. I feel like it was a little to heavy on the disease end of things. This is really sort of a personal preference, I am not really a pathologist so I didn't feel the need to have that information. It just depends on your focus of study.
The thing I really like about the book is the review section at the end. First, there is an extremely helpful outline summary, which is really handy if you didn't understand something in the chapter. Second, there is a chapter test that can help you review and test what you learned.
The only shortcoming of the review section at the end is that it doesn't have all the key terms (in bold type throughout the chapter) listed. In my studying, I generally went back through the chapter page by page after reading it and wrote down each key term and its definition instead of using the list in the review section. Also, all the key terms that are in bold print are not in the glossary, which I think they should be if they are going to go out of their way to make them bold.
All in all, a good introduction. Definitely pick up the student study guide that is designed to go with this text, as it will definitely help you study.

Customer Reviews:
A MUST read for Everyone!.......2006-06-21
Everyone who is alive should read this book NOW, before you get sick, especially with an incurable sickness like cancer, etc. In the first half of the book, Mr Cousins explores the mind-body relationship by example, not theory. Even if you already have a positive outlook, this will only (and very strongly) deepen the strength of that positiveness (new word?).
The second half talks about relationships among doctors. If you have more than one doc diving you medications, chances are they are NOT talking to each other to compare the sysmptoms of mixing the drugs, which may be the cause of a seemingly worse problem.
It is a very easy read. READ it now. You will not regret it. It is more than just laughing.
Healing Advice.......2003-11-25
Cousins connects personal experience with scientific research to make a compelling case for the healing power of positive emotions. Norman Cousins was a journalist who was healed through changing his behavior and thoughts. As a followup to his experience he was brought to the UCLA Medical School to do further inquiry into the topic. He interviewed physicians, patients, and family members in his study.
He discusses how his findings were misinterpreted and made to appear shallow by critics. But he felt that he had a valid contribution to make to our understanding of ourselves.
Philosophically he makes some cogent points throughout this book. Personally I love what he writes about Southern California. Consider also his comments on life well lived:
"The clock provides only a technical measurement of how long we live. Far more real than the ticking of time is the way we open up the minutes and invest them with meaning. Death is not the ultimate tragedy in life."
Buy this book! Read it! You'll be thankful you did.
humor is good medicine.......2000-06-15
This book shows how remarkable and awesome the human spirit truely is. Cousins gives examples of how humor affected the body in a profound healing manor. After facing cancer and the gloom around the therapies, Cousins turned to humor to help fight the battle and overcame many obstacles in his way. Even those whose lives are not touched by cancer in some way can appreciate the benefits of a little humor therapy. Great book!

"There are two aspects to the human side of cancer: what cancer does psychologically to people and their families, and how emotions and behaviors may influence the risk of getting cancer and its outcome," writes Jimmie C. Holland, M.D., founder of the field of psycho-oncology (the psychological issues of cancer) and chairman of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "The human side of cancer is all encompassing; it's about you, your surroundings, and your experience of the illness."
Doctors often don't have the time or the skills to deal with psychological issues. The Human Side of Cancer tackles the emotional issues of cancer head-on. Holland knows there's no "one size fits all" coping style and is sensitive to each reader's uniqueness and belief system. "We do have overwhelming proof, however, that how you cope with your illness can improve your overall quality of life," she asserts. The theory that cancer patients with a "fighting spirit" have a better chance of survival than those who are passive is not, it turns out, supported by research. But whether or not your personality is spunky and confrontational or laid-back and accepting, you can use your own methods of coping to make sure you live a healthy lifestyle and hang in there with your cancer treatment--which does improve your chances of survival. The authors explain how you can choose a doctor who demonstrates the "Three C's" (competence, compassion, and caring) and gives you practical instructions for making the most of each doctor's appointment. The book also covers coping strategies, the psychological effects of different treatments, psychosocial issues related to specific forms of cancer, and the "emotional baggage" of surviving.
The Human Side of Cancer combines sensitive advice and explanations with quotes and anecdotes of cancer patients, research summaries, self-help tips, and checklists. The book is for both the cancer survivor and family members. Anyone dealing with cancer will benefit from Holland's wisdom and experience. --Joan Price
Book Description
For more than twenty years, Dr. Holland has pioneered the study of psychological problems of cancer patients and their families -- whom she calls "the real experts." In The Human Side of Cancer, she shares what she has learned from all of them about facing this life-threatening illness and what truly helps along the cancer journey. This book is the next best thing to sitting in Dr. Holland's office and talking with her about the uncertainty and anxiety elicited by this disease. And it is a book that inspires hope -- through stories of the simple courage of ordinary people confronting cancer.
Customer Reviews:
an excellent resource..........2005-09-05
This book comes highly recommended. It seeks to instill a feeling of acceptance and comfort for distressed cancer patients. The author discusses how to cope with difficult emotions in all stages of cancer, from initial diagnosis and onwards. As a doc working with cancer patients myself, I cannot overstate the importance of Dr Holland's message. For example, one of her points that really stood out for me was the idea that negative emotions cannot cause the cancer. Some people do worry that they must always remain positive, even if they have to fake it. Not true...being real and honest is far more important...having occasional negative thoughts and feelings is normal and does not make the cancer worse. Dr. Holland presents these ideas in one of the most non-judgmental ways you will ever read.
The reason I only give it four stars is due to my personal bias toward a holistic perspective. The author presents a conventional approach to cancer. She does not give adequate merit to the effectiveness of natural ways to control swaying emotions, instead guiding readers directly to pharmaceuticals. In addition, her use of the food pyramid as a way to guide readers to proper nutrition is outdated. For this type of information, readers should choose other books.
Overall an excellent read for anybody dealing with cancer, directly or indirectly. I recommend it to my own clients. Genuine compassion in the medical system is in short-supply these days...Dr Holland gives us a healthy dose.
Overall very helpful.......2002-04-19
This is one of the few books I can imagine my mother reading. She was recently diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer and I ordered this book (and a couple others) to help my understanding of the emotional aspects of the disease and treatments. My mother generally escews "self-help" type books and outside help such as counseling. But this book is matter-of-fact and is presented in a way that respects individual differences and styles. It's not full of "touchy feely" (Mom's phrase) jargon but does address psychological issues effectively. Mom might actually find this one helpful, as I have. One weakness I found was the short section on ovarian cancer -- it addresses mostly fertility and sexuality issues -- the first doesn't apply to the older woman and the latter may or may not -- the writer seems to miss the boat on this type of cancer in the older woman. Overall, though, a helpful book.
The Human Side of Cancer.......2002-02-09
I just liked reading about other peoples feelings and how they dealt with their various types of cancer. I am currently in remission of ovarian cancer and plan to stay there.
thanks.......2002-01-17
Since my diagnosis I've received tons of books. This one is by far the most helpful in understanding what is going on with me & everyone else. It is the only book that talks about when & how to tell others, what the side effects are of all the testing, etc. I liked it so much I bought a copy for my therapist for her to use with other patients like me.
Just another persons opinion.......2000-12-04
If you are looking for information this book (As the title says) does not provide information on the medical side of Cancer. It is about people involved in the day to day struggle of living with and hopefully recovering from this disease. I don't think this is a bad book and some people may love the human qualitites it brings to the disease it just was not in my opinion the correct book for me at the time I read it.

The Best Excercise and Eating Plan for Health and Weight Loss.......2006-10-18
I've been working at a national cooking magazine for 13 years and I thought I knew what kinds of food was good for my health. This book has been an eye opener! I'd been suffering from lots of food cravings and was eating all the time, even when I wasn't hungry. Needless to say, I was packing on the pounds. After reading the book, I switched to whole grain pasta and bread and consciously ate more whole foods like vegetables, potatoes, legumes, and lean meats. I don't worry about portion control because whole foods fill you up more quickly and takes longer to digest, so you don't get hungry as quickly. I sourced out local, organic vegetables and pasture-raised, natural meats and switched to organic milk. Combined with the easy-to-do, low-impact excercise plan (40 minutes, two or three times a week. All you need is a step up bench and five-pound hand weights), I've lost 14 pounds in a few months and went from a size 12 to size 6 (I also started doing yoga, which I love). I don't have any of the diseases mentioned in the book, but I think this lifestyle change is really helping to keep me healthy.
The Gold Coast Cure REALLY Works!.......2006-08-02
Four of my friends and I ordered The Gold Coast Cure on the recommendation of a fifth friend. We couldn't put it down. We call ourselves the Gold Coast Girls! The book explains everything so simply and I have never found an eating/exercise plan so easy to follow. What I noticed first was that the water weight I carry in my hand and feet disappeared. I feel lighter and so much healthier. I retooled my pantry and my entire family jumped on board with me. The changes in our diet were really easy to make because they did not seem drastic. The kids love the soy nuggets. I can't believe such simple changes in my diet made such a difference in how I feel every day. I have so much more energy. It feels good to feel good!
This book is a must if you want to improve your life!.......2006-03-24
This book explains how your body uses food - both good and bad food. It makes it easy and clear why weight loss diets you have tried in the past have not worked. It replaces weight loss diets with healthy eating habits that will last the rest of your life and make the rest of your life better. It teaches you how to read product labels and understand what they mean and what they don't mean. Following this way of eating helps you with chronic medical conditions you have and others that you may be in line for developing in the future. I have more energy, I have less pain, and even though I didn't really do this to lose weight, I have lost 10 pounds. My food cravings are gone - I don't snack all the time anymore - I feel better about myself and I feel great! Thank you Dr. & Mrs Larson for a book that has changed my life.
Makes a lotta sense!.......2006-03-18
I was impressed by the the credentials of these authors as well as their research into diet and physical fitness. I will try the eating plan simply to lose weight and become healthy.
The Gold Coast Cure.......2006-03-15

Great Educational tool.......2007-09-08
I purchased this book for a Disease Process class and it covers just about everything. It's really giving me great insight on diseases and treatment options available. Great reference tool for future use.
Great overview of pathophysiology.......2007-01-30
Got this book for a basic pathophysiology course at college. The book covers all of the basics and gets into just enough detail to understand the topics without getting too confusing. Will keep the book in my personal library as a go-to guide and to refresh my memory about different topics. Great price too compared to many of my health-related textbooks.
Decent book, cheaper than the bookstore.......2006-08-09
I bought this book for college through Amazon because it was cheaper than buying it at the college bookstore. It's a pretty good book, however, I personally feel that they could have added a little more information to each topic.
