Physiology for Health Care and Nursing
No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. Find me on LibraryThing:
I read a good deal of this book for PY203 Human Growth and Development at Montgomery College, as a prerequisite for Nursing school.
The content of the book is geniunely interesting because it involves all of us. It is how we live and why we are the way we are at various chronological and developmental times. The content contained a ridiculous amount of in-paragraph sources, plenty of relevant anecdotes to ensure you could relate to the text, and well organized information.
The edition of the book that I had, however, was an enormous paperback book. 9 inches wide. 11 inches tall. An inch and a half thick, and perhaps 5 pounds. And not just five pounds of book, but five pounds of squirmy, bendy, annoying book. The book would wriggle its way into a roll at the bottom of my bookbag, making it uncomfortable to walk with. Also, because it was floppy and unsturdy, I had to have 18+ inches of space wherever I wanted to read it. Forget reading it while walking or on the crowded Metro on the way to class. For that matter, it was difficult to read on my desk. Why on earth would you make this a softcover book? It wasn't even cheap, but it sure did feel cheap.
