Easy to use learning tool

Not only does it load up fast and give you access to thousands of pages of information, it downloads that books fast and gives you the option to highlight all the important text. Then it lets you go back to those highlights much easier then flipping through pages. Great resource for anyone looking for this textbook for school.

Knowledge is power!

I am not a medical student and neither am I in pre-med however what I do enjoy is science with a particular love for anatomy. This is why this app is great for me, it boasts a wide variety of information on various subjects in relation to physical therapy. It's a great way for me to past the time while I'm on the subway. If you're a med or premed or even just a person who loves to learn then definitely give this app a try.

Perfect for my class

If you need to get this textbook I really recommend getting the app version. It's very convenient to have on your phone. You can search key words and it organizes all your highlights as well. I really like this form of textbook and would tell all my classmates to get it.
