Answer 1

Anatomy-- Gray's, Last, Snell.
Physiology-- Samson Wright, Guyton, Ganong. Indian author Chatterjee is good, too.
Biochem.-- Thorpe.
Read standard books to form the concept, understand the matter and for reference. Short books are better for remembering, cramming just before a test or exam.

Answer 2

An author doesn't even have to be good to be 'your favorite.' it's a personal opinion that's being stated, and perhaps this one work or whatever appeals specifically to this one person more than any others. Even if it's only one genre, universe, world, series, or even one BOOK. I think the wording of the question impedes the answeres you wish to receive. Not everyone out there can infer the qualities you are suggesting. I know about Meyer. I love the Twilight books to literal peices, and I don't even think she's even particularly GREAT as a writer. the writing is not spectacular, nor is the plot. The characterization IS though, and that's what counts. If ONE aspect can grab ahold of people and strike some sort of chord that feels nice, it can be enough to save the whole work. Meyer's books are an emotional work; she can't rely on anything but emotional tension to drive the characters and indeed the whole story. And that's okay. It doesn't stop me writing fanfiction or cosplaying or illustrating or making my avatar in my favorite little psychic freak-of-nature's image. It's a work that people can GET INTO. THAT in itself is a thing that may define "greatness." Yes, it is by an entirely different standard. The substance isn't being judged, it's the following. If you say an author is great because many, many people follow the works, then Rowling is certainly one. Here is where I strongly disagree. In my opinion Ms Rowling has had her time--more than her share--and need to back out gracefully. But by this standard, many authors can be said to be great, simply because they have a huge fanbase...many of them mindless and happy to be in the mainstream. Happy to have found something that isn't entirely beyond their ken, and they can look cool and educated, too.... On the other hand of this standard; an author can be--and many people say should--be judged by the SUBSTANCE of their writing, which I think is what you're getting at. They don't nessisarily need a large fanbase, because they can stand unaided. Rowling--and Meyer also to some degree, I believe, though it pains me slightly to say it--would be nothing, absolutely nothing without their fans. But when author's works are so great, they cannot appeal to everyone universally. Rowling is a herdbeast. she pleases the throng. Sometimes there are shining stars--that shine brightly, make no mistake--but their brilliance is visible only in the openminded spectrum of a few very. Thus, an author can be TRULY great, the platinum to the shadow's gold, when BOTH standards fall true... When an author's SUBSTANCE of writing draws that huge fanbase--authors such as Jane Austen, CS Lewis, Shakespeare, JRR TOLKIEN. when the two seperate traits of definitive greatness are married in one manifestation, then an author can be said to be TRUELY great, by anyone's standards.
