good book

I learned alot from this book. The only thing i didnt like was the cd it came with. The cd said random terms so i couldnt read the terms as tehy say it to learn. And because it didnt go in order of the book i couldnt listen to words i wanted and didnt know how to say because there was no way of finding it on the cd. But the book was organized very well and easy to read.

Great study tool

This was the recommended book to prepare for a medical vocabulary clep test for my physician associate program. Each section is divided by body system and not only contains the roots, prefixes, and suffixes pertinent to that system but also has basic clinical information as well. A great study tool for anyone going into healthcare.

Great book, very thorough

I bought this book for a class, ended up dropping it (before it started), and decided to study the book anyway. This book is very thorough; it has a ton of information in it and is good about explaining the prefixes and suffixes and roots of the terms. They really break down each word to make sure you understand it. They also have actual photos of several different skin disorders and things of that nature, which I found to be useful too.

Great

Great book for beginners. It provides detail summary of the systems of the body and fun way of learning the terminologies.
