Yes, but... 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is an outstanding achievement for a single author, and I have learned a great deal from it. I like the graphics, the layout, and the wealth of information. However, I do find many paragraphs and passages in this book difficult to follow, usually because crucial details are missing. See, for example the explanations of ossification (pages 181-183) and the countercurrent mechanism in the kidneys (pages 1022-1026). It took me less time to digest a whole book on the immune system than the corresponding chapter in this book (chapter 22).

There is a web site associated with the book, which gives the student an opportunity to ask questions. I submitted a couple of simple questions several weeks ago, but have yet to receive a reply.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any A & P book at this level that would be better.

Editorial Review:

An engaging writing style and meticulous attention to students' learning needs have continually set Human Anatomy and Physiology apart. Now the new Fourth Edition goes even further to engage students by incorporating many new features, such as a free Study Partner CD-ROM, a website, student study tips, and enhanced pedagogy and art program. Used by more than half a million students, this market-leading text is designed to meet the diverse and changing needs of today's students and instructors. Based on their input, the fourth edition integrates numerous new pedagogical features-student study tips, chapter introductions, technology links, a new digital art program, and an interactive Study Partner CD-ROM. At the same time, the fourth edition covers the latest scientific research, including information on the causes of obesity, the impact of two BRACA genes on invasive breast cancer, and the role of P. Aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis.

Very unhappy with purchase 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The book is supposed to come with the training software on CD. The CD did not include the training software, only some practice files to use with the book which I can't use because there is no software. The book clearly states that the software is on the CD and even gives instructions on installation. The item is misrepresented. I wasted money on this purchase. I have purchased similar training materials on this website and never had a problem before. The seller was no help to me. He wanted me to contact the publisher and to resolve the issues on my own. I will never make a purchase from this site again.

Editorial Review:

The 2^nd book in a new series of texts designed for Computerized Accounting courses that focus on Peachtree, QuickBooks, Microsoft Office Accounting, or Great Plains shows students what is actually happening behind the numbers. Each chapter features a manual accounting procedure that illustrates the transaction recording in a manual accounting system, before recording the same transaction in the software. Tracing the audit trail of a posted entry teaches students why they need to make an entry and how that entry will influence the accounting. With a better understanding of how data entries affect the accounting, students are better equipped to make corrections to existing entries and understand the results that will come from these corrections.

The only tool you need to organize your finances in Excel. 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

If you have Microsoft Excel and you are serious about getting your personal finances in order, then this book is a MUST for your financial library. It covers a large range of personal home finance topics. Each chapter provides an understanding of the topic, along with the appropriate Excel worksheets on the accompanying CD.

If the word Excel sends shivers up your spine, have no fear. The first three chapters are devoted to explaining Excel. If you are already familiar with Excel, just skip the first three chapters.

In addition to the worksheets, there are also many calculators provided on the CD such as: Net Worth Calculator, Mortgage Points Calculator, Rent versus Buy Calculator, Mutual Fund Comparator, and many more.

Editorial Review:

Accessibly written and easy to use, Applied Statistics Using SPSS is an all-in-one self-study guide to SPSS and do-it-yourself guide to statistics. What is unique about Eelko Huizingh’s approach is that this book is based around the needs of undergraduate students embarking on their own research project, and its self-help style is designed to boost the skills and confidence of those that will need to use SPSS in the course of their research project.

The book is pedagogically well developed and contains many screen dumps and exercises, glossary terms, and worked examples. Divided into three parts, Applied Statistics Using SPSS covers:

• A self-study guide for learning how to use SPSS
• A reference guide for selecting the appropriate statistical technique
• A stepwise do-it-your-self guide for analyzing data and interpreting the results

Geared explicitly for undergraduate needs, this is an easy to follow SPSS book that should provide a step-by-step guide to research design and data analysis using SPSS.
