 adequate but lacking December 21, 2007
This text provides a very good background for understanding the biology behind tissue healing as it relates to physical therapy practice. However, the text lacks specific information on some essential properties of human tissue. Specifically,(for example) any discussion of the arcs of Benninghoff is absent, specific discussions of bone healing are not in depth, appropriate discussions of hormonal balance and bone physiology is also lacking, and a complete discussion of collagen and the properties and biology of collagens is missing as well as an in depth understanding of the mechanical properties of articular cartilage. Also absent is an in depth discussion of the mechanical properties of human tissue in general.
Overall the text suffices for introductory understanding of tissue properties however as a classroom text it must be supplemented with relevant articles to `plug the holes'. The references provided via CD are awkward for the learner to use and in my study of those references there are too many 'books' being used as the main citation for important concepts. Also many of the figures have been "borrowed" from other texts. It seems that these authors have simply repackaged , in an incomplete manner the works of previous authors without giving due consideration to the updated evidence. The more i read the more 'incomplete' this text becomes. It is better to use Gray's Anatomy (British Edition) and supplement with relevant and current literature.
 Complete and fantastic! October 1, 2007

In my opinion, this is a very complete book with the best information.
No doubt, it is impossible to imagine a good physiotherapist without the knowledge that is inside this book.
