Well if you're certain of coming to Keele - which you may not be at this stage - I'd recommend buying Martini's Anatomy and Physiology: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fundamentals...4448714&sr=8-1 It's like your first year bible, so it'll come in useful when you get here (hence why I only suggest this if you're dead certain of coming). Otherwise, the A-level Biology books by Bradfield, Dodds, Dodds and Taylor are a good idea - generally delves into a touch more detail than necessary for A-level.
