Customer Reviews

a bit hard to read so review basic physics and chem first

This book was required for my anesthesia class (nurse anesthesia school) so I had to buy it. At first, I literally was falling asleep trying to read it--very scientific, technical and has black & white illustrations only. However, it became more tolerable to read and the book actually does give very specific examples of concepts (anesthesia stuff), and I'm realizing the to-the-point style that it is written (that's why I'd recommend reviewing college physics first). Another great thing about the book is its size. Much smaller than your average college textbook so can be carried in medium sized purses!

Excellent Information

This textbook is very deatiled in the explanations of the topics presented and uses many images and figures to help give a visual representation of the material.

Anesthesia Specific Physics

This book is like many physics book, hard to read. However, what makes it an excellent book is that the principals of physics are applied directly to anesthesia with examples. There is no other book out there which does a better job.
