February 22, 2008: the info covered in this book is very very very easy to understand. however, the book doesn't go to in dept on topics. it just covers them very broad. ex heart failure is only a bit over one page in length. anyway, another interesting thing I've found is that there are many typos (spelling errors)which is very strange coming from lippincott william & wilkens. they usually have higher standards. also, FYI....this book contains mainly illustrations rather then real photos, in case that was what you were seeking. overall i enjoy the book since i know its limitations. i don't think necessarily it was worth the full price, but with a good coupon and the members discount it was worth it i guess. lastly, see it in person before buying it.. if your professor demands a lot from you like mine, you may be better off spending your money on a more comprehensive book.
