lol.. awesome awesome book! It is so easy to read & understand!! And because there are study sections, exercises, answers to the excersices, built-in review sheets, fill-in the blanks, and a glossary of medical word parts to english & vise versa, this book is THE BEST way to learn & memorize medical terminology!
Neeeded it for my class, but noticed that it's a great book for self teaching as well! Shoot, if i would have know of this book before i took the class, i could have save myself a couple hundrerd dollars!!!!
This book shed so much light of the medical field for me, just from understanding the TERMS!!! It is also a great book for FUTURE REFERENCES! if you're a student in the medical field, NEVER GIVE UP THIS BOOK! lol And for those wanting to touch up on the terms... AWESOME to use as a quiz book because of the more-than-plenty fill-in-the-blanks through out the book... =)
I DO plan on buying another & future editions that may come out while I am in school... can never go wrong when testing your knowledge!!! =)

Ordered textbook 8-29. Pd extra for 3-6 day delivery. Should have received 9-8. Sent email to inquire about delivery. Never received a response. Talked to BN. They tried to help, but seller said was lost in transit. They did not provide BN with a tracking number. They said I should receive it by 9-15 so BN instructed me to wait. (Was not happy about this since was a needed textbook, not something to be read at leisure.) Emailed BN on 9-19 to request refund and they are giving it. If I could leave zero stars, I would. Worst results ever with a third party seller. I just looked at the stars. I wish I would have read reviews because this has happened to several people.

I was going to take the class just for fun with this book, but after reading through it and working on the exercises, I saved myself lots of money. You learn lots on your own with this book, didn't even need the class. I highly recommend it!

I Also Recommend:
This book was a great asset as a precurser to anatomy & physiology. Along with the CD one is not only able to attain medical terminology but grasp the comprehension of where, what, & how this term effects the body.

This book is awesome, not only does it cover terminology, it covers pathology, anatomy and physiology of each body system, and other medical field such as pharmacology, oncology, radiology and psychiatry. This is a great book and it helped me a lot to memorize, learn and understand the medical terminology.

...I have reviewed many, many text books used for studying medical terminology and 'The Language of Medicine' is the best of the lot...it may have a few problems, but on average outweighs many others..its outline is clear, easy to understand, and effective...it is impossible to learn and retain all the necessary terms required to function in industry without understanding the background and the association of the terms to the body...therefore, the study of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology is a necessity.

Each chapter is divided into the different systems of the body which gives the reader an understanding of anatomy. Full color diagrams enable the learner to visualize what they are reading and enhance understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Each area of the chapter is designed to give the student the utmost learning experience. A review sheet at the end of each chapter helps students with self assessment.
