So it is not behind an electronic paywall as I mistakenly assumed before. But I want to correct about missing clinical significance and Q&A - they are actually in a separate study guide book which comes with 15th edition. Update: Now been through the first 120 pages and both are still identical.

Lectures are quite complex and dive into the full details including cutting edge findings. This is a website with hundreds of high quality university medical lecture videos - a really fantastic resource. Watch through before reading the book to give you some better footing. Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology on Youtube. I would also like to suggest to accompany your study: I'm keeping to a 5* rating - although the publisher is a mess (confusing versions, missing information, ignored my email asking whether this was actually follow-up to 14th edition EMEA version), the authors are great and I don't think there is a better text book out there.

I will update when I have further information and will be keeping 14th edition open as I go through 15th since I like the clinical significance boxes. So far the 14th version would be the better of the two books (due to having clinical significance and also Q&A for those that like to test themselves) - but then again initial chapters are more broad overviews so perhaps there might be more latest findings later in the book. Certainly there can't be much new content added given the reduction in pages. Possibly the 140 missing pages are all the clinical significance information and all the questions and answers. So 15th edition is significantly shorter. Description: 1 online resource: Contents: Intro Principles of anatomy and physiology Brief contents Contents Preface About the authors 1 An introduction to the human body 1.1 Anatomy and physiology defined 1.2 Levels of structural organisation and body systems 1.3 Characteristics of the living. Total pages for 14th edition before appendixes: 1127 So completely off limits for other people. In 15th edition all this content is removed and put behind an electronic paywall (for only university courses that have subscribed to their special academic program). In 14th edition there are 'clinical significance' boxes that relate theory to practical human problems and are quite insightful. These have been removed from 15th edition. Questions appear in 14th edition with answers at the end of each chapter. Aging is a very important topic, so perhaps there is more solid information on this topic compared to the previous edition, but I don't know at this stage. All content is identical, apart from 15th edition having one additional short paragraph about aging which mentions further coverage later in the book and one new diagram on DNA molecular formula (very similar to an existing diagram so it doesn't add anything useful). I have been through the first 85 pages of both books (14th edition and this 15th edition) to compare them page by page. This is an initial review because it may take me a long time to finish reading the book and leave a full review.įirstly - this is the follow-up to the very popular 14th edition:
