I was a computer engineering major with a great desire to work in the BioMedical world but I did not know much about Human Physiology.
I was advised by my professors to read this book and I can say that is one of the easiest to read Human Physiology books out there. Even though I didn't know much about human physiology, I found it easy to understand basic concepts and this book helps a lot with illustrations, simple exercises to perform at the end of each chapter, and an understandable language throughout the book.
I am sure it is not an upper level Human Physiology book, but if you are new to the Human Physiology, this is the book you are looking for to get started.
This book states clearly in the preface it is NOT meant to be an advanced molecular physiology text. I am neither a doctor nor a scientist, just an interested mature student of biology, and this book is exactly what I was looking for. Physiology texts seem to be either sophmoric, very basic overviews or dense comprehensive surveys used as reference by researchers / professionals. This book, to me, is unique in providing depth and detail missing from basic texts, without being overwhelmed by minutia only selectively interesting. Highly recommended for the curious who feel their intelligence is being insulted by most introductory physiology texts.
"Guyton is a frustration to serious medical students"
Dr. Arthur Guyton and Dr. John Hall fail in offering a comprehensive molecular understanding of physiology. Although the general presentation of subjects is decent, it does not offer a thorough understanding of molecular events that occur to create what is observed macroscopically. The diagrams are weak utilizing ancient graphs that do not serve to clarify difficult points, and the book is in desparate need of some schematics and flow charts. Tip to Guyton and Hall: today's medical students need more than just a cursory glance at the molecular basis of physiology. And I would suggest to those reading to check out Berne and Levy and Ganong, the latter of which offers up much more detail than Guyton despite being a review text.

As a general practitioner, I don't recommend this book for professionals who want to improve in advanced knowledge in physiology. It is a STARTER book on the theme, for medical students only, not for practicising doctors. I've got frustrated.
"Readable and well-illustrated basic text on human physiology"
1999-06-14
- Reviewed By Anonymous
I'm an medical doctor with the task of teaching physiology to bright, non-medical students in a way that will be both approchable and yet complete. I find this Guyton text weaves the same magic as does his classic larger text on medical physiology that medical students have used for years. It's not only very readable, but also exceptionally well-illustrated. It would be sufficient for most medical students, but is particularly applicable for chiropractors, nurses, accupuncturists and others who need a thorough yet user friendly approach to physiology. After reviewing other texts for this purpose, I give this one an enthusiastic thumbs up.
