This person is scamming buyors. She advertised a "USA" book, then
contacted me and told me they "flew off the shelves" and all she has left
is an internation version, which she would be happy to send to me.

The international version sells for half the price of the US version,
for which I paid, and contrary to her claims is not exactly the same.




5 out of 5 stars Great undergraduate material, well organized   August 18, 2010

From a student's standpoint, this book provides thorough information without overburdening vocabulary or thick, poorly-written grammar. You can read it quickly, efficiently and absorb as much information as quickly as possible.

Its page-by-page layout is thoughtfully constructed to allow smooth reading. Diagrams and pictures are vibrant and informative. Side-bars help fill in gaps and answer questions you may have.

For a professor (I am not one, but I know some who chose to use this book), this book is great for a variety of reasons.

1) It is kept up to date quite regularly.
2) It has top-notch info
3) Its well-labeled and logically placed chapters allow you to customize your student's reading to specialize in biomedical engineering, biology, nursing, genetics and other majors.
