"Human anatomy and physiology is a fascinating subject. However, students can be overwhelmed by the complexity, the interrelatedness of concepts from different chapters, and the massive amount of material in the course. Our goal was to create a textbook to guide students on a clearly written and expertly illustrated beginner's path through the human body. An Integrative Approach One of the most daunting challenges that students face in mastering concepts in an anatomy and physiology course is integrating related content from numerous chapters. Understanding a topic like blood pressure, for example, requires knowledge from the chapters on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and how these structures are regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. The usefulness of a human anatomy and physiology text is dependent in part on how successfully it helps students integrate these related concepts. Without this, students are only acquiring what seems like unrelated facts without seeing how they fit into the whole. To adequately explain such complex concepts to beginning students in our own classrooms, we as teachers present multiple topics over the course of many class periods, all the while balancing these detailed explanations with refreshers of content previously covered and intermittent glimpses of the big picture. Doing so ensures that students learn not only the individual pieces, but also how the pieces ultimately fit together. This book represents our best effort to replicate this teaching process. In fact, it is the effective integration of concepts throughout the text that makes this book truly unique from other undergraduate anatomy and physiology texts"--
"Eighth Edition is designed for students who are enrolled in a one-semester course in human anatomy and physiology. The scope, organization, writing style, depth of presentation, and pedagogical aspects of the text have been tailored to meet the needs of students preparing for a career in one of the allied health professions, or taking the course as a general education requirement. The eighth edition has been substantially enhanced and improved. Added a "Careers In" section at the start of every chapter to show students how the chapter content relates to careers in the real world. Approximately 20 figures and tables were revised or are completely new.Revised descriptive language to improve the overall readability of the text. Terminology and phrasing more commonly used by students outside the classroom have been added where appropriate. By making the text easier to read, students will have an easier time grasping more complex anatomical and physiological content. Added the course guide of the 8th edition back into the lecture text to facilitate easier student use and completion. Updated terminology to align with the Terminologia Anatomica, Terminologia Histologica, and Terminologia Embryologica"--
The early 20th century in Italy was a crucial period in its history. This book surveys the important issues and topics of the period including the origins and rise of fascism, Mussolini as prime minister and dictator, the totalitarian state, foreign policy and World War II. It also examines how Italian fascism compared to other inter-war dictatorships.
