Title overview

For courses in Human Physiology

This pack contains 1 copy of Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach and 1 access card to Mastering A&P with eText.

Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach is the #1 best-selling 1-semester human physiology text world-wide. The 8th Edition engages students in developing a deeper understanding of human physiology by guiding them to think critically and equipping them to solve real-world problems. Updates, such as new Try It activities and detailed teaching suggestions in the new Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, help students learn and apply mapping skills, graphing skills, and data interpretation skills.

The text reflects Dr. Silverthorn's active learning style of instruction and builds upon the thorough integration of 'big picture' themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics that have always been the foundation of her approach.
