"Not well written at all" according to andy19. This book takes some relatively complicated concepts & makes them near impossible to understand by using convoluted language & terrible organization. On numerous occasions, I had to take several minutes to parse out an overly-lengthy & complex sentence in this book, only to discover that the point being conveyed was either simple or not important. I also thought the organization of this book was lacking in that the chapters were often too long, and the discussion of various concepts was oft. Good, simple overview If you are ordering this as a medical student, know that it is not nearly as thorough as you probably need. This is a tiny little book that gives a good overview of renal phys in a very easy, step by step manner. If you have a physiology review text, or another physiology book, stick with that. I liked the book, but for the money, and given the time constraints we are all under, suggest skipping it.. Thorough Simplicity I wish all textbooks could be like this one. Very readable; very well organized, and it is no longer than it needs to be. Beginning with functional anatomy, it moves onto cover big-picture functions of the kidney, and then with that context moves in for a more indepth look at each portion, separating function into the fates and control of various ions and other molecules. Why and how the kidney does what it does, where it does it, when it does it makes sense. Then all of a sudden, I found m
