Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology

By Edwin F. Bartholomew, Frederic H. Martini, Edwin Bartholomew

Book Overview

For one-semester courses in anatomy & physiology. Guiding readers through challenging A&P concepts Celebrated for its precise illustrations, time-saving navigation and study tools, and engaging clinical content, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology is crafted especially for readers with no prior knowledge of anatomy & physiology and little science background. The Seventh Edition eases readers through tough A&P topics, answering the need to help A&P readers learn and retain challenging content. New book features, all supported by interactive MasteringA&P media, include new Build Your Knowledge activities, new Spotlight Figures Coaching activities, new Bone and Organ Dissection Videos, and new Dynamic Study Modules that help readers study on the go.

Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering A&P Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class -- motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. MasteringA&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics(TM). Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.

Customer Reviews

Great timing!

I ordered my book on Friday morning and recieved it Saturday the next day! Great timing and still in the wrapping with a tutorial cd!

Awesome book

The book gives a clear, concise, and engaging account of the human body and its systems. It displays information to the reader in a number of different ways, oftentimes breaking down a difficult concept by explaining it in paragraph form, a table, and several drawings. I find this method to be a successful learning tool because different learning styles are accommodated and the reader also has several examples to learn from instead of only one. Also, the illustrations are gorgeous and very helpful. This is a great textbook for an intro-to-medium level college class in A & P, or an advanced text for non-doctors as the material is clearly presented but is also quite detailed.

Why I like this book.

My daughter who is taking a course in nursing likes this book.I find this book neat and the illustrations done by Dr WilliamOber clear and easy to the eyes. If you are not anybody who isinvolved in the health or medical studies, and wish to knowmore about the human body (anatomy and physiology), then I highlyrecommend this concise "essentials" book. Take a look at page132, Figure 6-6, you actually get to see the whole of humanskeletal system which appears as photograph, not a drawing. Ican use this page to show my children what the human skeletonlooks like and name the parts, which are clearly labelled. Thereason I have given 4 stars because I cannot say this book is100% perfect. The authors will later improve it in their futureeditions, still this is a good buy ...you won't regret.
