Concise Human Physiology
2. Edition October 2000
450 Pages, Softcover
Wiley & Sons Ltd
Concise Human Physiology is written for medical students and
presents the main facts in a concise, straightforward style. The
first edition received an encouraging reception from students,
especially those for whom English is a foreign language. The
presentation of major subjects in manageable chapter lengths makes
the book most attractive to students who find some books rather
lengthy due to detail and the inclusion of information not required
by the medical curriculum.
This second edition is more focused and has made use of valuable
feedback from students and teachers who have been using the book
over the last few years. All the chapters have been thoroughly
revised and new illustrations and summary diagrams have been
added.
