I was wondering what the major diff is between the two eg) easier to follow corrected info, better charts, etc?

I have the 2nd ed and I have not used it so I was wondering if I should buy the 3rd ed

😳

thanks guys

I took a look at the 3rd edition, and i actually like it less than the 2nd. For one, the text is smaller, and everything seems very scrunched together - like, there's less space between headings, etc. Also, the margins are tiny - there's no room for notes at all! Their occasional charts are better (nicer formatting - but same info), but for me, this doesn't make up for the space and font issues. I'm sticking with the second ed.

quidem,
I noticed that you made the same post in the thread discussing BRS Pathology 2nd vs. 3rd edition. Do you feel this way about Physiology 2nd vs. 3rd or is one of those posts an error? Just trying to clarify for everyone's benefit.
 
Oops!! Sorry, i thought this thread said "pathology" not physiology!! Sorry, my mistake. I have the 3rd edition physio, and i have no idea about the 2nd edition. Sorry about the confusion!
