I would just like to say that this sender wasted no time and I received the book promplty within the week that i ordered it. Also, the book was just as they promised it would be. Thank you very much. I have asked and paid extra for items to be expedited before and they still took forever.

For those who are wondering if the BRS Physiology book is worth it: IT DEFINITELY IS!!! I am very happy that I purchased it and know that I will be using it for decades... yes I said decades.

This book is awesome, but I can still criticize it. I read it along with the little Guyton book, and used it as a main source a couple of days before the NBME, which we took at the end of our physiology class in medical school. I read the entire book in two days, and understood it all! It is a fast dirty way to study physiology that hits all the necessary points. However, it has its down points. The book is in bullet point format all the time. It became a little degrading to see point after point, which is why I used the pocket Guyton book. Guytons pocket book is another source that I highly recommend because it explains rather than bullet points, and if the bullet points in this book become too much for you, try pocket Guyton. Also, the sections of this book may not follow your class lecture. It can be unpleasant to search for what your studying. If the book had sections smaller than 30 pages it would help. Another word of warning, this book is build for medical school. This book is not intended as a source for PhD work, etc. However, if you are in med school, this is a necessary evil!

The book had a lot of concepts that really helped with my learning of physio throughout the course and later with prepping for the physio shelf exam. My only beef with the content was with the impertinent discussions of molecular similarities between some hormones, but overall, I was pretty satisfied with the book.

This book is an amazing tool for my Medical School Physiology class, it will be a vital piece of my USMLE study regimen.

I think this is the best BRS there is. I used this book for course exam prep as well as board review. It is a great tool to highlight important concepts, and it explains things in a simple and effective way with the right amount of information.

This book is an excellent resource to supplement boards study. I have been very pleased.

I decided to purchase this book as a supplement to the textbook we use in class. You know, you read the complicated textbook and then the supplement next. Not so any longer. This guide gets right to the point. Reading it before class has facilitated my understanding of lectures and comprehension of the required readings.
You don't have to be a medical student to derive value out of this book. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

I ordered this book the first week that classes started and received it the following week. The book was like new as promised and I had no problems with the seller throughout my buying process. I would highly recommend this seller! Thanks~

The book was in perfect condition--brand new, no markings in the text, in tact cover...plus free shipping!

i really like the author's clear explanations and organization of the book. this is basically an outline of her physiology textbook, which is also great. i only wish that brs physiology had more color charts/diagrams/images. for the cost of the book, i think it's a reasonable request.

This book was very helpful when studying for medical physiology. I haven't taken the boards yet.

This is a great review book. It outlines the important concepts in neurophysiology, cardiology, respiratory and renal physiology. The outline goes straight to the point, the tables are nicely organized to pick up the simmilarities and/or differences, and the diagrams are excellent to understand concepts.

This book has been a great resource in studying for board review. The organization is helpful by topic & is a nice addition to preparations.

Consistently good book, easy to read, useful information in logical order. Pretty much all you have to know on Physio for Step 1.

This book is fabulous!!! It's one of the best physiology books I've read. I highly encourage purchasing it. Plus, it's a great FNP board review book with great questions at the end of the chapters!

Hands down the best resource for physiology. Respiratory and Acid-Base chapters were a bit weak, but overall, the book was excellent.

Great to use during 1st and 2nd year in supplement to your medschool classes. My boards will be this summer, but this book is widely regarded as the gold standard for physiology preparation for the USMLE/COMLEX step 1..This book is also a condensed version of the bigger physiology boook by costanzo (same author) so if you dont understand anything in the BRS, you should refer to the bigger Costanzo book. I highly recommend at least the BRS for boards.

Good review of physiology. Used it for my shelf exam and USMLE Step 1 and it covered most of the important things

This is a great book for review- however, my prof went into way more detail than what this book covers. I think it will be helpful for boards, but I still needed a physio text for med school.

BRS books have a reputation of being of high quality and worth every cent. This physiology edition is no different.

Dr. Costanzo is definitely a great teacher. This book has really helped me out a lot, I've even recommended to all my friends who are planning to go to medical school. The online feature is a great companion, and for the price, nothing beats it! If you are a first time physiology student, I recommend this as a supplement text.

I used this book as an MS1 and it saved my ut in physio. Now in combination with Rapid Review Pathology is the prefect way to get the material together that you need for the Boards!
You cannot go into the Boards without ever using this book- it's just that good!

I love the BRS because it concisely covers every topic, is very reader friendly, and does not take too much time.

I am giving it four stars because I wish I had discovered Costanzo's other physiology book much earlier. BRS is too condensed for the information to go to your long term memory. Costanzo's other book has much more information and I wish I had gotten that along with BRS.

very easy to read and follow, exellent summary of the essential facts and good practice questions good for preparing of any postgraduate exams in physiology highly recommended

This book is seriously getting me through physiology. Not a replacement for a textbook (some of the concepts aren't explained, just listed), but a great review before the test. Reading through the chapter makes everything seem so much clearer! And the questions at the end of the chapter are a great way to study. I haven't taken the boards yet, but I'm sure this book will be helpful for them!

I've so far just been using this to review the basics of physiology in preparation for tests. It's great for helping to establish a skeleton for learning. You may need to look up some finer details, but the vast majority of what you need is right here.

BRS Physiology is a must have for everyone who is or ever has been in medical school. It lays down a firm foundation for your fund of knowledge. It is not comprehensive but it is concise and easy to read. The questions are useful for self-assessment.

Really helps you pick out the things you MUST KNOW. Great tables.

Doesn't have enough substance or diagrams for renal physio. It also doesn't cover clotting/coagulation (please correct me if i'm wrong), so make sure you get that info elsewhere...

I bought this one for two months now. It's pretty precise and clear.

Medical School professors often get lost in the details when they try to teach basic physiology. This book is essentail to for surviving and finding the important details. the questions in the back of each chapter are very good.

This is one of the best medical physiology review books that I've seen. Others people on Amazon have extensively reviewed this book, so I'll use the following format for review:

Clarity: 5/5- It was easy to read and understand.
Brevity: 5/5- Used few words without sacrificing clarity.
Depth: 3/5- If you need more depth read her other book published by Saunders.
Breadth: 4/5- Not as comprehensive as could be, but good for a review.
Illustration quality: 4/5- I would have preferred a little more illustrations, however, again, can't ask too much from a review book.

Great book to review physiology once you've taken the course and read a physiology textbook. Not enough detail to rely on for passing a medical school physiology course (so don't skip the textbook and just buy the BRS!!).
