i bought this product thinking that it is the 6th edition since that is what i searched through amazon advanced search. once i recieved this product i realized it was the 4th edition. I mean the picture on the hardcover didn't even match. That is false advertisement according to ralph nader, and the BBB. I then returned the product to the seller, who took the product back, but had the nerve to say that 4th edition was clearly written on the delivery slip as well as the online product info., which was obviously not true. I didn't react because i just wanted my money back. Then I got charged for binding damage on the book, which had it before I even touched it. I then realized that I would never buy from amazon, but from Barnes and nobles, and bargains from ebay, and I did. I bought the 6th edition from barnes and nobles. It cames faster than amazon, and was brand new, and perfect. Caveat emptor!!!!!!!( buyer beware)
 costanzo vs. berne and levy December 13, 2008

while some referred to this book as "burn it and leave it," they were the one's who'd like to sworn in by contanzo in court. our physio dept required this book, but most people stuck with constanzo and in the end they were the smart ones. berne and levy gives great descriptions, but should be used as a reference book, you cant read through this book like you might be able to do with constanzo. in the end, i'd stick with costanzo if i were you.
 Good...but not the best. November 3, 2008

This Physiology text is a great book for those studying mid and upper level human physiology. It has a very organized way of introducing the material and covers the topics well. Additionally, it makes good use of many clear cartoon illustrations of hard to memorize pathways and difficult to understand concepts.
That being said, the book lacks the detail that a medical or research physiologist would want to have. I have taken several physiology courses as both an undergraduate and graduate student and have found this text to be lacking when compared to that of Boron and Boulpaep. It doesn't cover the receptors in nearly as much detail, and many pathways are simply mentioned and never explained. If you really want to know what is going on, you would have to supplement this text (or to a degree any text) with a review of current journal materials.
Error: Above reviews are for a different book October 28, 2008

Above reviews are associated with the WRONG book, an endocrinology text, not the physiology text sold at the top of the page.
