More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This text approaches anatomy and physiology through a three-dimensional art programme, the aim being that the illustrations reinforce the students' understanding of the concepts portrayed. The text contains a photographic "mini-atlas of human anatomy", as well as sections on clinical applications, historical and humanistic topics, and evolutionary notes.
From the Author
A uniquely engaging textbook of human anatomy & physiology.
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: THE UNITY OF FORM AND FUNCTION is a college textbook written primarily for nursing and allied health majors. Unlike others in this field, it takes a more humanistic approach to the subject by including poignant biographical and historical vignettes that bring life to the science. While other anatomy and physiology texts pay little regard to the evolutionary origins of human form and function, this book includes evolutionary interpretations of topics ranging from bipedalism to the sweet tooth, from hypertension to menopause. Illustrated by a team of medical illustrators at the Observatory Group of Cincinnati, this book sets a new standard for medical illustration at the undergraduate level. Even in its first three weeks on the market, this book had several colleges and universities dropping other leading textbooks in midcourse and ordering this in their place. Check it out for yourself and see why.

Format:Hardcover
The things i like best about this book are that it is clearly written and laid out and therefore a lot easier to keep from getting quickly confused. It also has great pictures and diagrams to help you relate to what you are studying. It's possibly not comprehensive on all aspects of anatomy and physiology but nevertheless a really good book.

Format:Hardcover
This text is a must for anyone planning to pursue a career in medicine or the allied health sciences. Clearly written, with the best illustrations I have seen anywhere. Med schools should have their students read this book in place of the many turgid and incomprehensible basic science texts.
Format:Paperback
Great textbook. Very good detail with good diagrams and graphical reference.
Quite a weighty one so would probably be more suitable for use in referencing, studying and revision rather than general reading around the topic.
