The new edition of Bruce Wingerd's The Human Body: Concepts of Anatomy and Physiology helps encourage learning through concept building, and is truly written with the student in mind. Learning Concepts divide each chapter into easily absorbed subunits of information, making learning more achievable. Since students in a one-semester course may have little experience with biological and chemical concepts, giving them tools such as "concept statements," "concept check" questions, and a "concept block study sheet" at the end of each chapter help them relate complex ideas to simple everyday events. The book also has a companion Student Notebook and Study Guide (available separately) that reinvents the traditional study guide by giving students a tool to help grasp information in class and then reinforce learning outside of class. With additional, powerful options like PrepU and the ADAM Interactive Anatomy Online Student Lab Activity Guide, students have access to learning activities to help them study, understand, and retain critical course information.

Bruce Wingerd, M.S., is Professor of Biology at Edison State College in Florida. He received his M.S. in Biology from San Diego State University, and has 30+ years experience administering and teaching college course in Anatomy/Physiology, Advanced Anatomy, and Medical Terminology. Mr. Wingerd is the author of more than 20 books in Anatomy/Physiology, Medical Terminology, and Vertebrate Morphology.

This text is developed specifically for the one-term market and offers the essentials of anatomy and physiology in a direct, concise format.Students benefit from striking and precise full-color art that enhances the author's straightforward, clear writing style. The author's vastteaching experience enables him to accurately present the appropriate vocabulary and detail that an allied health/physical education major needs.

For the mid- to upper-level two-semester student, this text provides the most thorough coverage at a manageable length. Concepts of Human Anatomy and Physiology is the most up-to-date textbook available that combines cutting-edge information with accurate, detailed, and reader-friendly scientific information. It expertly entwines the concepts of form and function, providing students with an excellent grasp of how the body works as the result of its many inter-related parts.

Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the Human Body provides an informal, analogy-driven introduction to anatomy and physiology for nonscience students, especially those preparing for careers in the allied health sciences. This accessible text is designed with an uncluttered format, an encouraging tone, and excellent preview and review tools to help your students succeed. The text provides enough detail to satisfy well-prepared students, while the personal and friendly presentation will keep even the least-motivated students reading and learning.

This Student Notebook and Study Guide, the ideal companion to Bruce Wingerd's The Human Body, reinvents the traditional study guide by giving students a tool to help grasp information in class and reinforce learning outside of class. Too often, students struggle to both learn the concepts presented and simultaneously record crucial information. The Student Notebook and Study Guide provides a structure for recording in-class material that parallels the text’s concept presentation, and includes supplemental questions and activities for assignment outside of the classroom. A complete answer guide for both the in-class and out-of-class materials is available online.

This book offers physiology teachers a new approach to teaching their subject that will lead to increased student understanding and retention of the most important ideas. By integrating the core concepts of physiology into individual courses and across the entire curriculum, it provides students with tools that will help them learn more easily and fully understand the physiology content they are asked to learn. The authors present examples of how the core concepts can be used to teach individual topics, design learning resources, assess student understanding, and structure a physiology curriculum.
