Bestes Physiologie-Buch, 15. Juni 2007

Ein faszinierendes Buch mit anglo-amerikanischer Didaktik. Es liest sich einfach in einem Fluss und alle Fragen die aufkommen werden sofort beantwortet. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie die Amerikaner solche ausgefeilten Bücher schreiben. Es muss eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit Studenten bestehen. Deutsche Lehrbücher sind allzu oft langweilig, unverständlich und akademisch. Wer Physiologie nicht nur für die Prüfung lernen möchte sollte sich dieses Buch kaufen.

       This is a good book of Physiology, 8. März 2000

Physiology was one of my required subjects when I was in my third grade in the medical school. At that time,I bought a very famous Physiology textbook,but then I found it hard to read. I felt so frustrated that I almost give up reading it. Fortunately, when I saw Guyton's textbook, I felt it not only easy to read but also have good basic concepts we must know. I am happy to read this book.

      Why do supervisors ecommend this book, 30. Oktober 1999

I have heard Guyton described as a "fine work of English prose". I must say I disagree. I have found that it is difficult to use, that it fails to go into enough depth as a reference yet goes into too much depth as a revision work. The diagrams are poor, the pages flimsy (and in my edition in the wrong order!), and it is just far too heavy to carry around. The physiology focuses more on obscure subjects and hardly at all on the essentials. I have hardly used this in my first year as a medical student and am unlikely to start soon.

       The BEST Physiology book, 28. Juli 1999

If you are an undergraduate preclinical medical student you must look at Guyton. The text makes this often tricky subject easy to grasp. If I had one complaint it is the diagrams - more color please!! But overall, no other text covers the subject so completely with such stylish explanations.

      5 stars if Guyton would just illustrate better...., 31. Mai 1999

I am a Nurse Anesthesia Student who took a lot of physiology as an undergraduate psychology/biology major. Guyton does a marvelous job of explaining human physiology, once you become acustom to his prose. The best possible combination is Guyton's detailed and unterstandable explainations with Elaine Marieb's diagrams from "Human Anatomy and Physiology". Marieb's book is aimed at the undergraduate and is the A+P book I had in my RN program, so the information is, naturally, not as detailed but the diagrams are great. I know it would make an even more expensive book, but bigger diagrams that use more than just red and black for colors would greatly enhance Guyton's already excellent work.
