I have to say, I've really enjoyed this textbook.  Its been really easy to read and follow along with compared to some of the science texts that I've used in other classes.  The fact that the text and picture are both color coordinated to show the three processes that the nephrons perform and where it occurs in the renal corpuscle and tubules was a geat starting place in understanding these objectives. Breaking the processes down like this makes them seem less overwhelming.
