Selling your textbook
I hope I didnt catch you too late! Its time for my annual warning to NOT sell your textbook. This is the time of year when many A&P students think about selling their textbook back to the bookstore or textbook co-op. Some sell them directly to other students on campus or through an online platform. DONT DO IT!
Why not? Because you still need it!
Just because your A&P course is over, your use of your A&P textbook is far from over. Here are just a few of the many reasons you should keep your A&P materials, including the textbook:
- Youll need to review your A&P at the start of nearly every topic in your professional / clinical courses. Many nursing, medical, and allied health textbooks include a brief review of A&P . . . but youll do better with a quick skim of your fully illustrated A&P textbook.
- Your A&P textbook will get you out of a jam. There will be occasional moments when you "blank out" on some essential bit of A&P . . . something you need to "get it" in a later course. Your trusty A&P textbook will come to your rescue by providing refreshing your understanding of that tricky concept . . . in a way that is already familiar and comfortable for you.
- You need to start a professional library. So many health professionals begin their careers regretting that they sold off many of the essential reference tools they need to get started in a successful professional career. Your A&P textbook is the core around which you should begin building your professional library of resources.
- When youre out there in the "real world" youll need some tools to help you cope with new situations. Its a great comfort to have your A&P book there to help you review basic concepts that you havent run across in a while. When youre pulled to a different department, start a job in a new specialty, or struggle through a professional continuing education course, youll find your old A&P book is a great place to dig out all those things you know you know . . . but with which you need some brushing up.
I just smile and reply, "you sold off yours after our course ended, didnt you?"
The sheepish reply then comes, "yeah, I know you told us to hold on to it but I didnt think Id really need it. Now I REALLY need it to help me in my nursing course!"
[FYI, we A&P professors really do NOT have a pile of old A&P books laying around to give away.]
Considering that you rarely get much of a return on selling a used textbook, it really isnt much of a hardship to keep your A&P textbook. Youll be really glad that you did!

I admit it: I was suspicious of this diet. Before examining this book, I thought the diet sounded very "fad-like" (and I remain wholly unconvinced by the personality-trait correspondences which are NOT essential to the scientific basis of the diet, just a curiosity). I read negative reviews and their justifications. What I noticed was that most of these reviews sounded a lot like the criticisms leveled at the Atkins diet, a diet that does work for a lot of people (though not all--this book makes clear why) that have since been disproven by double-blind studies. A number noted that dAdamos theories werent backed up by scientific research. Fair enough; this book cites double-blind studies and peer-reviewed research extensively, far more so than the Eat Right and Cook Right books. It also fine-tunes some of the earlier findings. This is ongoing research, something you just dont see in proponents of "fad" diets. DAdamo has clearly been listing to his critics, and makes every attempt to clarify, fine-tune, and explain how all of this works.
I picked this book--and the diet--up when I browsed it in the store and noted that the medical problems in my family charted almost exactly with the risk factors for blood type. (Blood type correlations with disease have actually been established in peer-reviewed medical journals for a long time, although they arent much talked about.) I tried the diet. Im about three weeks in. Ive lost 10 pounds, my digestive problems are much improved, I feel more energetic, I dont crave sweets, and -- the most convincing thing for me, because I wasnt looking for it and therefore cant attribute it to the placebo effect -- the morning stiffness Ive had for 30 years is gone.
