Summary

This abridged version of Memmler's The Human Body in Health and Disease includes information on normal anatomy and physiology. New to this edition is a beautifully revised design and art program that will engage students and better help them learn anatomy. New content includes "Word Derivations" sections that promote recognition of scientific terms, "Health Professions" boxes that provide information on the various health careers for which students may be training, and new types of end-of chapter questions. A back-of-book CD-ROM for students with an image atlas and audio pronunciation glossary is included. Online courses for use with WebCT and Blackboard are also available. LiveAdvise online student tutoring and faculty support come as a bonus with every text. Please visit http: //connection.lww.com/liveadvise for more information.
