What text book do you use for A&PI, College Chemistry?

[rhp123]

I am going to take pre-requisites A&P I, CHM101 College Chemisty I next semester in a community college. A little bit worried about taking two science classes at the same time, plus a full-time job.

I want to first study by myself and make myself familiar with the terms, class contents in the Summer, to offload the study in Fall semester. But I don't know what text books should I buy since I don't know what the instructors will use at this time. I am going to buy used ones to save money.

Currently I have Human Anatomy and Physiology (4th edition, 1987, John Hole). Is this a good one to look at? I have no clue at Chemisty book at all.

Can anyone tell me what textbooks you use in you A&P I and Chemistry class?

I appreciate it....

I didn't see any chemistry books listed, so I thought I would share mine...

Just got it today; class starts June 25th.

Chemistry--An introduction to General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry

Eighth Ed. Timberlake ISBN# 0805331328

I saw many older editions on ebay and half.com for low prices if you just want a reference. :) Best wishes

We used Silberberg for my college chem class. It was much better than a lot of the other ones I have flipped through. I'm taking A/P next semester so I cannot give you a reccommendation on that one yet.

After read all the replies, I just ordered one from Marieb on ebay.

Thanks Cindy and Nikonos for sharing Chemistry book information, I will look them on ebay too.

Thanks and good luck to all on your studies.

I would contact my school and find out which book they are going to use most A&P books run in the couple hundred dollar range, if you just want to do some prestudying then go to one of the used books sites and buy the cheapest you can and that could be an extra reference book. I had a friend whose husband was an MD and they gave me a 5 yo copy of Gray's Anatomy and I used it in corelation to my text. In my classes you had to open the book and use if cause some of the pictures you had to lable came straight out of the text and he also used charts straight out of the text that were on the test....
