Book Overview

Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life, 3rd edition builds on the success of its prior editions by providing solutions to recurring issues. The 3rd edition better motivates students and helps them make the connection to what is important going forward and helps students who lack study and critical thinking skills. The entire text is focused on aiding critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and relevant application of knowledge when studying Anatomy and Physiology. From Science to Life, 3e effectively blends print and media to bring the content to life for students. The conceptual focus allows for fewer pages in the printed text, making the text less intimidating to the uninitiated student. Accompanying media allows for a richer investigation of the content presented in the printed text, provides useful background knowledge, and ensures the students a solid reference resource when the course is complete.

Customer Reviews

Excellent drawings of body structures

Book is very good at keeping "fluff" material to a minimum. The drawings are wonderful (better than the actual anatomy dummies). It is hard material so I would get text early and pre-read as much as you can before class starts to leave more time for studying later.

Excellent textbook!

I recently finished an introductory course in anatomy/physiology, and this was the textbook we used. It is an excellent way to introduce yourself to the various systems that compose our bodies. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a basic understanding of the body without having to go to medical school.

great text

This A & P book explains everything easily- the photos and graphics help to visualzie how things work in the body. A must have in any student library!

Anatomy Review

This text book is very informative and easy to understand. We bought this and the Intro to the Human Body Study Guide. It comes with an interactive CD which enhances the curriculum.
