"Well organized!"
The author and read surely has a talent for not only human anatomy but teaching as well. A must listen for anyone who is lucky enough to be in possession of one of these remarkable machines known as the human body!
"Fascinating from head to toe."
A superb read covering the basics of our body in an easy to follow format. Worth listening to twice to fully grasp some of the concepts. Professor Young is an engaging speaker.
"Fantastic and informative"
This book ended too soon. I loved learning the basic about how the body works. It was well organized by body part and made sense to a history major such as myself. There is a 73 page coursebook that comes as a PDF.
The author is funny in a dorky way and he had funny little jokes that he he enjoyed immensely.)
I would buy Part 2, 3, 4, etc or anything by this author.
"Basic Human Anatomy review"
A good primer of human anatomy and some physiology with concommitant implications for medicine. Very accessible to the layperson.
"A good general overview"
Excellent material, nicely researched. The lecture style seemed to be a bit edgy, or was it just me?
