An Introduction to Genetic Analysis by Griffiths et al. I really enjoyed it in my Genetics class.

I LOVE Maitland Jones....his orgo book and as a professor. I had him this year in orgo and, though he could be a little condescending at times, he complimented his book really well and had a great personality.

The only grievance I have against him AND his book is that he tends to lead you down the wrong path to prove a point, but it really just gets confusing. My text is full of diagrams scribbled with "DOES NOT HAPPEN" all over them. I get the point, learn from your mistakes, but if your just glancing at a diagram its hard to catch.

Costanzo's Physiology, 3rd Ed. has been awesome in physiology so far. I'm absolutely in love with this book.

Lehninger's Principles of Biochemistry was a great book also. I hated Voet and Voet; yuck! 😛

Physiology of Behavior by Neil Carlson

It's an intro level neuroscience text. Structure and physiology of the neuron, organization of the brain, all five perceptual systems, then it looks at human behavior (ie: experience of stress, addiction, attraction, etc) and how those relate to the nervous system. Clinical references throughout and a pleasure to read.

I've got to agree with you on this one. Fantastic book. I enjoyed reading it.

Another great text that comes to mind is:

Anatomy and Physiology by Seeley, Stephens, & Tate. Awesome book! Highly recommend it over any other A&P book and I've read a few.

Costanzo's book was pretty good, but her BRS Physio book is lightyears better if you're not a "textbook" person. 👍

cambell's bio is pretty good.

unrelated to premed: the reader we used in monopolies (economics) and the text for industrial organization (also econ) were excellent. i dont have the author info though. actually i have the I/O book somewhere around here but u know how it goes...

he's kind of a downer as a professor from what i hear but I still think its the best science textbook you will ever use
