This best-selling text introduces students to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and also discusses the relationship of humans to other living things. Human Biology remains user friendly; relevancy and pedagogy are among its strengths. In this edition, as in previous editions, each chapter presents the topic clearly and distinctly so that students will feel capable of achieving an adult level of understanding. Detailed, high-level scientific data and terminology are not included because Dr. Mader believes that true knowledge consists of working concepts rather than technical facility. There is a prominent emphasis on homeostasis and the contributions of the various systems to keeping the internal environment relatively constant.
