This text answers the demand for a leaner version of Marieb's Human Anatomy & Physiology, one that assumes less need for in-depth coverage of chemistry, the special senses, pregnancy, heredity, and the developmental aspects of various body systems; while keeping basic themes such as homeostatic imbalances strategically in place. Marieb's instinct for providing colorful, dynamic explication of body system anatomy and physiology creates a focused presentation of basic principles. Accompanied by a supplements package that faithfully reflects the content of this new text, instructors and students alike are provided with a convenient, integrated learning system.

• Focus on homeostasis and concise clinical examples to meet the needs of students enrolled in allied health programs. These clearly identified discussions are an integral part of each chapter, thus helping students understand that disease is a result of homeostatic imbalance.

• A dynamic, unsurpassed full-color art program that illustrates anatomical structures and physiological processes in fine detail complements the text.

• A succinct review of chemistry basics: matter and energy defined, composition of matter, atoms and elements, molecules and mixtures, chemical bonds, chemical reactions, and inorganic and organic compounds.

• Discussions on sensory and motor integration, and the special senses, are rewritten and incorporated into chapters on the central peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems to provide a coherent, but concise description of neural processes.

• Clearly identified, traditional pedagogical features include chapter outlines with student objectives, figure questions that help reinforce illustrated concepts, and review questions at the end of each chapter. Chapter summaries for each chapter can be found on the book's password protected web site (www.anatomyandphysiology.com), easily downloaded, and printed out when needed for studying.

• Illustrated tables provide one-stop study tools for easy comprehension.

For Elaine N. Marieb, forging a relationship between her students and the anatomy and physiology concepts that will form the basis of their careers has always been a priority. Having gone back to school to get her R.N. degree and an M.S. in gerontological nursing when she was already a college teacher, she is uniquely able to understand the needs of both instructors and students. Elaine is Professor Emeritus of biology at Holyoke Community College, Holyoke, Massachusetts, where she taught anatomy and physiology for 25 years. She has also relocated to Naples, Florida, where she is now Visiting Professor at Edison Community College in nearby Fort Myers, Florida. She keeps in touch with many of her former students, whose experiences in allied health careers provide insights into the changing needs of A&P students.
