DESCRIPTION:
His postdoctoral training was in endocrinology and physiology at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, and The Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA. He is currently Professor of Biology at Boston University. . Widmaier received his Ph.D. About the Author Eric P. in 1984 in Endocrinology from the University of California at San Francisco
Five Stars Perfect.. A well written introduction to human physiology The best aspect of this text is the quality of the writing. The writers have a clear excitement about the subject, and for the most part, this makes reading the text pleasant rather than dry.The book opens with an introduction to homeostasis and provides a theoretical backbone for the study of human physiology. The second chapter is the obligatory introduction to fundamental chemistry (atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, etc.) that seems to be in almost every basic science book. Chapters three, four, and five are typical of almost all texts abo. Great!! CassandraW This was exactly what I needed for physiology! Almost identical to the next version, but a lot cheaper! Go for this version if at all possible!!
Chapter 19 is new and contains three complete case studies. Eric Widmaier (Boston University), Hershel Raff (Medical College of Wisconsin), and Kevin Strang (University of Wisconsin) have taken on the challenge of maintaining the strengths and reputation of Vander’s Human Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function. The fundamental purpose of this textbook is to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates regardless of academic background or field of study. These critical-thinking questions are just one more opportunity to add to the student’s learning experience.. It has also responded to reviewer requests for more clinical applications. Moving beyond the listing of mere facts, it stressed the causal chains of events that constitute the mechanisms of body function. Vander’s Human Physiology, eleventh edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today’s instructors and students. Physiology Inquiries have also been added to many figures throughout the chapters. The eleventh edition features a streamlined, clinically oriented focus to the study of human body systems
