What anatomy book are you using for Spring 2007?

[marlonspoon]

Hello,

For all the people who are taking anatomy in spring 2007, what book are you using? I just bought "Primary Anatomy" by John V. Basmajian. It's almost 400 pages!! I'll try to devote most of my vacation time to prepare for this class!

Anyone planning on doing the same?

Btw, I just found out about this forum!!

Thanks for being helpful!!

I don't want to even remember what I paid for these books. They came "bundled" with the web access key, coloring book and study guide....ouch!!

You got a coloring book with yours? I had to buy my lab book and text seperate so that may explain it. I did get a CD ROM. Does the coloring book have an ISBN number on it? If so, would you PM me the number so I can buy one. Thanks.

My A&P course is also using the newest Saladin book. I have not purchased it yet, it's $266 and I have been unable to find it elsewhere. I got an excellent deal on my chemistry books and the two "optional" books for A&P through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but I cannot find another source for the big book. I even went to the publishers website (McGraw Hill) and still could not find it! Would you mind posting the ISBN from the back of the book? Good luck this semester!

HI Snoozie64,

Did your Saladin 4th Ed. come with the 4 disk cd/dvd, too? I purchased mine from school used for $143, but new was appx. $175.00 NOT including the lab manual or the other "optional" books, (coloring book/Photo book). Is your school charging you that much just for the book alone? anything included? Lab manual, etc...? Check out abe books.com-I see that the internaltional soft cover sells for $68.00...

Good Luck on your search!

We are using principles of anatomy & physiology by Tortora & Derrickson. It is HUGE! I am not sure my backpack is designed for this. I might have to breakdown and buy one of those book carriers with wheels.

We use the same one. I usually end up putting everything else in my bag and carrying the darn thing. I think it weighs a good 20 lbs or close to it. Thankfully, I don't normally have to bring all of my other books with me. I bought a rolling bookbag last semester so I could bring my laptop too, but it ended up being a huge hassle to either lug it up the stairs or try to find a wheelchair ramp or elevator that wasn't way out of the way. I would try to pare down to the bare minimum of stuff and then see if you really need the rolling bag. I realized that I don't normally use my laptop to take notes in class (many profs seem to think that you're just surfing the internet), so I don't bring it unless I know I will need it (very rare). I also realized that I don't really need the huge binder I was carrying around or the other random things that would find their way into my bag. It really lightened my load, literally. ;-)

Thanks nursing-gyyyrl,

I am going to the college bookstore today to see what the book actually looks like. Seems to me for $266 it should come with a tutor - My classes don't start until after the Martin Luther King Holiday, but I know many have already started so good luck to us all this semester!
