I have always had good luck ordering here until now. I ordered this book on 8-21 and it hasn't even been shipped yet as of today 9-21. I really needed this book for my class. My classes are only 8 weeks long. Not sure if it's worth still getting this book for only 4 weeks of class. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was so excited and interested in this book, the subject matter "up my alley" being in the medical field. After about 50 pages I realized my boredom was real and the book seemed disjointed and repetitive. No real threads holding things together. I looked through the book at the 3/4 mark and read... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I work in this field (dementia - helping families find housing and services) and I think this information does not always reflect what I know is true.

Price: $61.15
Customer Review:
When I was looking at reviews to see If I should buy this book last year, it would have been helpful if someone told me that this book is not going to be used very much, even as a reference. Your schools ppt/notes of histology should be sufficient to grasp the material, this atlas is superfluous. | 4.0 / 5.0

My husband is not a book reader, but he read this book cover to cover. It scared him, but let him know what to expect. He was a wonderful caretaker. This book helped him get ready and know what to do, as well as what "Not" to say! We give it to other couples that have been diagnosed. | 5.0 / 5.0
