Guyton and Hall, Textbook of Medical Physiology. 13th Edition

The first edition of the Textbook of Medical Physiologywas
written by Arthur C. Guyton almost 60 years ago. Unlike
most major medical textbooks, which often have 20 or
more authors, the first eight editions of the Textbook of
Medical Physiologywere written entirely by Dr. Guyton,
with each new edition arriving on schedule for nearly
40 years. Dr. Guyton had a gift for communicating
complex ideas in a clear and interesting manner that
made studying physiology fun. He wrote the book to help
students learn physiology, not to impress his professional
colleagues.
