Product Description

Product Description
Eric Widmaier (Boston University), Hershel Raff (Medical College of Wisconsin), and Kevin Strang (University of Wisconsin) have taken on the challenge of maintaining the strengths and reputation of Vander’s Human Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function. Moving beyond the listing of mere facts, it stressed the causal chains of events that constitute the mechanisms of body function. The fundamental purpose of this textbook is to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates regardless of academic background or field of study. `

Vander’s Human Physiology, eleventh edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today’s instructors and students. The eleventh edition features a streamlined, clinically oriented focus to the study of human body systems. It has also responded to reviewer requests for more clinical applications. Chapter 19 is new and contains three complete case studies. Physiology Inquiries have also been added to many figures throughout the chapters. These critical-thinking questions are just one more opportunity to add to the student’s learning experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book, 16 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Vander's Human Physiology - The Mechanisms of body Function (Paperback)
This book was recommened to me by a friend of mine, and it is the best physiology book around, by far.
It explains the systems of the body in clear and consise text, and introduces the topic from the very basics. It reinforces ideas by referring back to sections of the text well, and includes flow diagrams after a detailed chunk of text, to break the information down.
It also includes colourful diagrams to aid ones revision.
I purchased many other physiology books prior to this one, but have never gone back to them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very visual Physiology Textbook, 1 April 2008
By C. MacRae (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vander's Human Physiology - The Mechanisms of body Function (Paperback)
At nearly £50, Vander's might seem a bit pricey for a physiology textbook, especially one which is such a flimsy paperback as this (with a distinctly uninspiring front cover). However, it would be wise not to judge this book by its cover.

The book is well organised with a wealth of information. Speaking from the perspective of a medical student, this book covers everthing under the topic of physiology you will need for the course.

The greatest strength of this book is the diagrams, they are always helpful illustrations and a large number of flow diagrams - very useful indeed for understanding complex body systems and feedback loops. I find this most useful, being a very visual learner. The text is also well written.

At my med school there is about a 50/50 split of users of Vander's and Pocock & Richard's Physiology textbook. Having used them both, I found that I did not like the latter due to its lack of diagrams and style of writing. However, some people do seem to prefer it to Vander's, so my advice would be to get both of them out the library and see which one you prefer before you buy one.
