Just because A&P is complicated, doesn't mean learning it has
to be. Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology, 21st Edition
uses reader-friendly writing, visually engaging content, and a wide
range of teaching and learning support to ensure classroom success.
Focusing on the unifying themes of structure and function and
homeostasis, author Kevin Patton uses a very conversational and
easy-to-follow narrative to guide you through difficult A&P
material. The new edition of this two-semester text has been
updated to ensure you have a better understanding of how the entire
body works together. In addition, you can connect with the textbook
through a number of free electronic resources, including , an
electronic coloring book, 3D animations, and more! Conversational
writing style at a 11.7 reading level (the lowest available for
2-semester A&P books) makes text engaging and easy to
understand. Updated Genetics chapter includes important
advancements in that field. Updated content on osmosis revised to
make it more simple and accurate. More than 1,400 full-color
photographs and drawings illustrate the most current scientific
knowledge and bring difficult concepts to life. Includes a unique
color key to show color scheme that is used consistently throughout
the book (for example, bones are off white, enzymes are lime green,
nucleus is purple). UNIQUE! Consistent unifying themes, such as the
Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections in each chapter, help you
comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure
and function of these change in relation to age and development.
Numerous feature boxes including: Language of Science and Language
of Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic
Study, FYI, Sport and Fitness, and Career Choices provide
interesting and important sidebars to the main content. Quick Check
Questions reinforce learning by prompting you to review what you've

This is by far the most exhaustive biography on Niels Stensen,
anatomist, geologist and bishop, better known as "Nicolaus Steno".
We learn about the scientist's family and background in Lutheran
Denmark, of his teachers at home and abroad, of his studies and
travels in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Bohemia and Germany, of his many pioneering achievements
