With all the benefits of the general Atlas of Anatomy by Thieme, with a clear focus on the head and neuroanatomy. There's much more to the captions included in this text. While we didn't learn physiology with our anatomy, for those that want to give the anatomy some relevance, this is a unique and helpful anatomy atlas.

BRS tends to be a hit-or-miss series as the text is presented in outline format without an exposition. What makes this book a gem, then? The questions! After each section, there's many many questions designed to test your understanding. This is an excellent way to study, and given the sheer number of questions, you are unlikely to run out before you master these concepts.

For many in our class, this book was our only textbook for biochemistry. It's colorful, the exposition is informal and clear, and there's no junk here padding the information.

Another gimmicky book that should be wonderful for review time. This book separates the drugs into classes. One one half of every page, the book asks a short question: "What is hypertension?" Opposite this question is a short answer. Following this format will keep you engaged if you intend to read the book and aids in self-testing if that's your approach.

I used both this and the Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple text for my class. I crave color and this provides it, as well as clear categories and another format.

Purves is generally clear. This is a complete text and clarified every topic covered in our neuroscience module. Be aware that this should be your neuroscience text. It is not a complete neuroscience atlas.

I found this book to be painfully boring, but if you master the information you understand the way the electricity and plumbing work in the heart. That was the goal, right? It's short and the second read-through is nothing like primary learning.

EKG seems like a magical art until you read a clear text with great pictures that distills that magic into logical sense. Whlie I gained an initial understanding from Lilly, this book's simple approach to EKG added enormously to my fund of knowledge. With its design, it's impossible to stay stuck on the same page reading it over and over. The pages turn themselves.

Skeletal review book. Color in, highlight, add notes. This is a great review book with relevant facts that you can use while studying for exam time. When you start seriously preparing for boards, you'll be grateful for your annotations, color, and familiarity with this ubiquitous text.
