This set of DVDs and book is in very good condition. The 8 DVDs look in very good condition, with only slight marks on their playing surfaces and some discolouration on disc 8 (which has been tested for playing). The DVDs are housed in a sturdy DVD case, which is also in very good condition, apart from slight scuffing. The Course Guidebook is in excellent condition, almost as new, apart from slight cover scuffing. These 32 lectures are your owner's manual to a remarkably complex, resilient, and endlessly fascinating structure: the human body. Your guide is Dr. Anthony A. Goodmansurgeon, professor, and writerwho takes you step by step through the major systems of the body, explaining exactly how things work and why they sometimes don't. Using detailed colour illustrations, life-sized models, and, in one lecture, a video shot during surgery, Dr. Goodman gives clear descriptions of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) aimed at the level of the interested layperson.
