Which version/edition? HELP!!

[oopymoss]

Hey, guys!I have four months left before my school starts. So I thought may be I'd buy one or two books, just to, you know, get myself familiarized with what all these medical terms and get some basic knowledge of what I'll be studying for the next three coming years.

But the problem is, when I search, just say, Anatomy and Physiology textbooks in the searchbar of Amazon, there are lots of editions and versions, some books with funny covers. I get all confused and can't decide what to buy.

What if I buy a book that I think is right and later I find out that it's not the right version or edition?

Please tell me which version or edition of books should I buy, not only for Anatomy and Physiology but also Medical/Surgical books.

Thanks for your inputs in advance!!

I apologize if this has been discussed before, if so, would you be kind enough to provide me a link to that?

Thanks.

If you want to review before you start school, just get something simple and cheap.

In fact, if you look in the pre-nursing student forum there are a ton of links at the top to all kinds of websites.

You could also go into a used book store and find a basic anatomy/physiology text, if you're just going to review it the edition won't matter. You'll probably find a medical terminology book there too.
