"Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function tells a story composed of many layers, including core science, clinical applications, the history of medicine, and the evolution of the human body. Saladin combines these perspectives on anatomy and physiology with vibrant photos and art to convey the beauty and excitement of the subject to beginning students. To help students manage the tremendous amount of information in this introductory course, the narrative is broken into short segments, each framed by expected learning outcomes and self-testing review questions. This presentation strategy works as a whole to create a more efficient and effective way for students to learn A&P. Saladin writes in a relaxed, slightly colloquial style to engage student interest and author-reader rapport; many have emailed him with appreciation for this, saying things like "It feels like youre in the room talking to me personally." Word choice and paragraph structure are aimed at an appropriate reading level for all students"-- Provided by publisher.
