ISE Mader’s Understanding Human Anatomy & Physiology (10th Edition)

Description

Mader’s Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology continues to be the perfect text for a one-semester course, because it was designed for this audience from the very first edition. The text is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a complete facelift, which I believe makes the content even more approachable, user friendly and exciting. Each chapter now begins with an infographic that details fascinating facts about the chapter’s subject.

Key Features

• New interior design layout refreshes the text with the goal of aligning figures/tables closer to in-text references
• New design for the Human Systems Work Together feature. The new line art and design provides clarity on how each body system works with the main system covered in the chapte
• Explore Everyday A&P. The goal is to make it a catch-all for the cool stuff previously covered in Focus on Forensics, Whats New and previous chapter opening stories (related to history); appealing to non-clinical A&P students.
• New chapter opener is a one page Infographic facts that highlights fun facts and myth busters as it applies to the context of the chapter. The author wanted to utilize the Infographic facts as a way to engage the students and pull them into the content for the chapter
• For Connect? users, the ReadAnywhere App is a free, downloadable app available on iOS and Android mobile devices. It gives students mobile freedom to access their eBook anywhere, even offline, on their smartphone or tablet. Once chapters are downloaded, students can use the same tools that are available in the eBook. Any notes or highlights they make in the eBook will sync across platforms.

• Content Check-Ups now after every major section of the text.
• Unsurpassed Clinical Coverage Clinical coverage is embedded throughout the text and is written to relate the latest research and developments in the applied aspects of anatomy and physiology to important concepts in the book.
• Easy to Understand Art Mader’s Understanding Anatomy & Physiology covers all of the important concepts, but leaves out unnecessary, and sometimes confusing, detail. The text features stepped-out art, which shows key stages of an illustration identified by numbered circles.
• Content Check-Ups–These small quizzes can be found after major sections of each chapter to help students assess their comprehension as they are reading. These quizzes also make excellent study tools for chapter tests!
• Accessible Writing Style One of the hallmark features of this text is its logical, accessible writing style (without being overly chatty) that includes lots of relevant examples, artwork and analogies.

Author Biography

After earning a baccalaureate degree in biology from St. Marys College (Notre Dame, Indiana) and a masters degree in physiology from the Ohio State University, Susannah Nelson Longenbaker began her teaching career at Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio. She continues to teach anatomy and physiology courses there, as she has for almost 30 years. During that time, she earned the colleges Distinguished Teaching Award and Ohio Magazines Excellence in Education award. She founded and serves as co-coordinator for Columbus State Community College Fantastic Fridays and consults for Fantastic Fridays Thinking Science. These community outreach programs (funded in part by grants from McGraw-Hill Corporation) introduce middle school and high school students to the fun and excitement of laboratory science. In 2006, Sue was offered a unique opportunity by Dr. Sylvia Mader: to become the primary author for Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology. Dr. Mader began her long career as a college biology professor, then left the classroom to become one of the most prolific authors of biology and human biology textbooks in the country. Her works are well known for their direct writing style and carefully crafted pedagogy. Dr. Maders many titles have been published and enjoyed by students worldwide for almost 40 years.
