Product Description

Product Description
The eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology marks a new milestone in the publication of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co–author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry′s focus on anatomy. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re–development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors.

About the Author
Gerard J. Tortora is Professor of Biology and former Coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology.  He received his bachelor′s degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master′s degree in science education from Montclair State College.  He is a member of many professional organizations, such as the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB). 

Above all, Jerry is devoted to his students and their aspirations.  In recognition of this commitment, Jerry was the recipient of MACUB′s 1992 President′s Memorial Award.  In 1996, he received a National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) excellence award from the University of Texas and was selected to represent Bergen Community College in a campaign to increase awareness of the contributions of community colleges to higher education.  Jerry is also the author of several best–selling science textbooks and laboratory manuals, a calling that often requires an additional 40 hours per week beyond his teaching responsibilities.  

Bryan H. Derrickson is Professor of Biology at Valencia Community College.  He has also taught Biology at Spellman College and Alamance Community College.  Bryan received his bachelor′s degree in Biology from Morehouse College and his Ph.D in Cell Biology from Duke University.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is great, 19 Oct 2005
By Mr B Wilson (NAIRN, Scotland) - See all my reviews
The quality of the illustrations and diagrams within this book are excellent and greatly improve the understanding of how parts of the body are put together, then how they work.

The organisation of the text is equally helpful and a clear structure together with lists show how eg tissues are distributed around the body.

If you're coming at anatomy from scratch, this may not be basic enough to ensure you get it all. However, as a support to academic study to explain some of the concepts or structures in a different way, I'd highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tortora, 28 Nov 2006
By B. Nazari "The Man Of The House" (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wow great!
Contains NEARLY everything I need for my A&P module for sports studies degree. I got another free book with it too, showing a brief atlas of the skeleton, surface anatomy and medial images. Theres just some basics its missing but not much to be honest. Also it is a good workout for the arms when your reading it!
