Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology (Guyton Physiology) 14th Edition

This is one of the best written and easily understood technical books I have ever read over my wide field of Electronics and Engineering. I only have a High School Level understanding of Science and biology. If you are willing to take your own notes and make an intellectual effort you can learn what is going on in your body.I purchased Guytons to understand what was going on with my body so I could discuss things with my Doctor. Unfortunately my Doctors do not have time for questions..... :- (I mentioned to a nurse that I bought this book to so I could understand my condition better. He replied that it was a very hard book to understand. That nurse frightened me because I thought it was an easy book to learn from. But I will grant that the nurse had 6 other subjects to learn at the same time and was under lots of stress.I shelled out the big bucks for the hardback with online content. The online content for what I needed was garbage quality. Osculation was such a poor recording. There are much better YouTube videos. If you need an electronic version just get the Kindle version rather than the poorly executed and proprietary e-content.

Came in great quality, the information is presented clearly, and the main text is printed in two columns per page with clear graphs. More dense than other textbooks and goes into specifics I would have not known about otherwise while still allowing for refresh on the basics. Has further reading sections for those curious and wanting more. Highly recommend!

This book is very insightful and it is full of diagrams which is what I used to study. From molecules to systems this author makes the read very relevant and easy to understand. It also comes with a code to download the book to my iPad. I also appreciate the customer support included with the purchase of this book.

This is an amazing book for new medical students to understand the physiology. It connects all the topics and makes it like a story.

Dr. Guyton wrote: "What other subject matter is more fascinating, more exciting, more beautiful than the subject of life". Guyton and Hall's master 1000 page text proves his point.They teach rather than preach in language anyone fascinated by medicine would understand.You feel they are talking to the reader in a personal way.What is most important to me is the way of thinking about the mechanism of life and the logic of explanation that comes through this work; it is not a book written for fellow physiologists, but fora reader who wants to know how to think and understand the human creation.This book does for physiology what Frank Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy does for anatomy; they are both masterworks of teaching.Don't spend the 100.00 on a fancy dinner; eat at home and buy this masterwork. I promise you will not regret it.Thomas Weisman MD

An excellent book. However they sent me a used one.

Lo compré para mi nieta, le han recomendado mucho esta edición.

I think there was a slight indentation in the cover, otherwise the book looked perfect near perfect! Best part, the CODE WORKED!! I travel A LOT and I need the code from the inside of the cover to get online access. So this was a blessing!
