Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life, 2e builds on the success of its first edition in providing solutions to recurring issues in A&P education - how to better motivate students and help them make the connection to what is important going forward; how to get students to see the forest for the trees; how to help students who lack study and critical thinking skills when they enter the course to succeed and develop these skills; how to make sure that adjuncts cover the key concepts throughout the course. Within this framework, the authors provide students with the knowledge and detail that is needed to move forward in allied health careers, but take the emphasis off of memorization and learning many disjointed facts. 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, 2e 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.
