For courses in one-semester human anatomy.   A fresh voice strengthens a visually compelling, classic human anatomy text Revered for its groundbreaking, atlas-style format, detailed illustrations, and exceptionally clear photographs, Human Anatomy has long been known for its quality and sophistication, as well as its scope and level of coverage. Accomplished author and award-winning educator Judi Nath joins the writing team, bringing a fresh voice, enhanced accuracy, and a clear, engaging writing style to the 9th Edition.   The new edition builds upon the legacy of previous editions and includes expanded clinical content to help students focus on the types of diseases and injuries they are likely to encounter in their future careers; visually stunning Spotlight Figures in every chapter to guide students through complex topics; and new features that focus students on the key point in each section and use simple analogies and memory devices to help students remember facts and concepts.   Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering A&P   Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class – motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.   Mastering™ A&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to engage students and improve results. Instructors ensure that students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics™. Students can further master concepts after class through assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.

I bought this text book for $9, online, because I couldn't afford the $180 textbook assigned for the class and now all of my classmates look at my book instead of their own. This offers a great visual for learning the body and clear definitions along with helpful guiding instructions makes this a winner.

Although the book was very informative on basic anatomy and had great diagrams, it still makes me cringe. This book did not help me at all. The class was more of a combination of Anatomy and Physiology and this book was strictly Anatomy.

Yes, I now can identify bones, muscles, nerves, organs, etc. However, the book did not help me figure out the interactions between structures.

Maybe not the book's fault? Probably. But I am still angry.

A great Anatomy text for a college level student. Detailed enough to interest, but not so much as to be distracting.

This book was easy to comprehend but complicated enough to keep one thinking for a first year medical student prerequisite.
