Human Anatomy and Physiology with Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite

Autor Elaine Nicpon Marieb, Katja Hoehn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2008
With the Eighth Edition of the top-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology text, trusted authors Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn have produced the most accessible, comprehensive, up-to-date, and visually stunning anatomy & physiology textbook on the market. Marieb draws on her career as an A&P professor and her experience as a part-time nursing student, while Hoehn relies on her medical education and classroom experience to explain concepts and processes in a meaningful and memorable way.
 
The most significant revision to date, the Eighth Edition makes it easier for students to learn key concepts in A&P. The new edition features a whole new art program that is not only more visually dynamic and vibrant than in previous editions but is also much more pedagogically effective for today’s students, including new Focus figures, which guide students through the toughest concepts in A&P. The text has been edited to make it easier than ever to study from and navigate, with integrated objectives, new concept check questions, and a new design program. The new, easy-to-use Instructor Resource DVD includes brand-new A&P Flix animations and all the tools instructors need to prepare their lecture presentations. The robust media package provides students with indispensable practice tools, tutorials, and self-assessments to help them succeed in their A&P lecture and lab course.

Notă biografică

 
For Elaine N. Marieb, taking the student's perspective into account has always been an integral part of her teaching style. Dr. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught anatomy and physiology to physical education majors. She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College after receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience, along with stories from the field–including those of former students, now in health careers–that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her texts and laboratory manuals are known.
In her ongoing commitment to students and her realization of the challenges they face, Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide opportunities for students to further their education. She contributes to the New Directions, New Careers Program at Holyoke Community College by providing several full-tuition scholarships each year for women returning to college after a hiatus or who are attending college for the first time and would otherwise be unable to continue with their studies without financial support. She funds the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and generously contributed to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where she provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory that bears her name.
In 1994, Dr. Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to Holyoke Community College. In May 2000, the science building at Holyoke Community College was named in her honor.
Additionally, while actively engaged as an author, Dr. Marieb serves as a consultant for the Benjamin Cummings Interactive Physiology¨ CD-ROM series, and is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Sigma Xi. Anatomy & Physiology, Second Edition is the latest expression of her commitment to student needs in their pursuit of the study of A&P.
 
Dr. Katja Hoehn is an instructor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Canada. Dr. Hoehn's first love is teaching. Her teaching excellence has been recognized by several awards during her 14 years at Mount Royal College. These include a PanCanadian Educational Technology Faculty Award (1999), a Teaching Excellence Award from the Student’s Association of Mount Royal College (2001), and the Mount Royal College Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award (2004).
 
Dr. Hoehn received her M.D. (with Distinction) from the University of Saskatchewan, and her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Dalhousie University. In 1991, the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation presented her with the Max Forman (Jr.) Prize for excellence in medical research. During her Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies, she also pursued her passion for teaching by presenting guest lectures to first- and second-year medical students at Dalhousie University and at the University of Calgary
 
Dr. Hoehn has been a contributor to several books and has written numerous research papers in Neuroscience and Pharmacology. She oversaw the recent revision of the Interactive Physiology modules, and co-authored the newest module, The Immune System.
 
Dr. Hoehn is also actively involved in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS). When not teaching, she likes to spend time outdoors with her husband and two boys, compete in triathlons, and play Irish flute.
 

Caracteristici

Caracteristici noi

  • A simply stunning art program uses more dynamic, three-dimensional, and realistic styles with dramatic views and perspectives and saturated and vibrant colors. The art includes key anatomy figures that are rendered superior to the competition, with detail, depth, and a clear focus on key anatomical structures. These figures are not only visually dynamic but they also do a superior job of teaching key concepts to today’s student.
  • Focus figures help students grasp key A&P concepts that they often have trouble visualizing and understanding, such as events at the neuromuscular junction, excitation-contraction coupling, the cross-bridge cycle, and action potential. These ten key figures convey these tough topics by walking students step-by-step through the processes with easy-to-follow illustrations and explanations.
  • Addition of author narration with blue text has been integrated into select figures to help guide students through complex, multi-step processes.
  • All new bone art features realistic color and attributes and creates a consistent style from figure to figure.
  • New photos include cadaver, photomicrograph, medical imaging, and clinical photos.
  • An easy-to-navigate text features newly tightened writing together with a clean presentation that is easier to study from and navigate.  
    • Student Objectives have been integrated from the chapter opener page to within the chapter. These give students a preview of what content is to come and what they are expected to learn.
    • Check Your Understanding concept check questions ask students to stop, think, and check their understanding of key concepts at the end of each major section.
  • A new design and larger trim size make the book easier to navigate through and study from, and a new font style makes the book easier to read.
  • Powerful, user-friendly media includes
    • For instructors:
      •  Instructor Resource DVD, with every level of customizable content needed for class presentations and course materials, allows instructors to easily and quickly pull together a lecture and to show animations from their PowerPoint® presentations.
      • NEW! 3D movie-quality A&P Flix animations cover key concepts in A&P and invigorate instructors’ classroom lectures.
      • New assessments for course management systems, such as WebCT, Blackboard, and CourseCompass™,make it easier for instructors to assess students by generating quizzes and tests from our media resources. Instructors now have access to assessments for Get Ready for A&P, Interactive Physiology®, Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™), and PhysioEx™.
    • For students: 
      • A more powerful myA&P™ Website for students now includes everything students need to practice, review, and self-assess for both A&P lecture and lab.
