"In many ways this is like a grown ups version of the many anatomy and physiology combined books out there. While they are great for 1st year Boron has the detail required of later years and is more of a one stop shop. Pick a topic and it will give you anatomy, histology, physiology and biochemistry all in the space of a easily accessible chapter. Medical Physiology's trump card has to be the unparalleled detailed and colourful annotated illustrations and tables which are both accurate and up to date. They are indispensable in conceptualising complex pathways; you can spend hours reading but it just takes a clear diagram for it to click. Boron cuts the clutter and gets straight down to the serious business where it more than delivers in detail across a comprehensive array of "-ologies” in an easy to understand way. Molecules to cells, organs to systems - Boron's got it." - Medical Student, University of Glasgow, UK"Clearly links the molecular and cellular biological foundations of physiology to organ-system physiology, as well as its aberrations that become disease. Designed to show 'expertise of a multi-author book with the consistency of a single pen' the editors sought Yale professors of physiology and then recast their manuscripts into uniform style to become a reliable resource for medical students. The excellent color illustrations can reduce the need for additional hand-outs.”-Comprehensive Therapy, review of previous edition
