Informative and interesting. Don't like that it's beginning is based in evolution but other things interesting. Lots of reading, like an encyclopedia.
 Great book, but with some errors October 26, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is so fantastic! But it has some errors. We Korean say, "dirt on diamond'. First of all, in p68, there are wrong photomicrographs about muscle types. 2nd one is of skeletal muscle, not cardiac muscle as typed in this book. And third one is of cardiac muscle, not visceral or smooth muscle. But still I really love this book as a professor of anatomy.
