Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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. Moving beyond the listing of mere facts, it stressed the causal chains of events that constitute 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. . .

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. The eleventh edition features a streamlined, clinically oriented focus to the study of human body systems. It has also responded to reviewer requests for more clinical applications. Chapter 19 is new and contains three complete case studies. Physiology Inquiries have also been added to many figures throughout the chapters. These critical-thinking questions are just one more opportunity to add to the student�s learning experience..

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Detailed but Approachable
I haven't had any exposure to biology-related topics for quite some time, but Vander's Physiology brings it back with enough depth and breadth to understand without getting lost in the details. This is not the most recent edition but still very useful for those of us not going much further in our study of physiology.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - fantastic
great shipping speed, book was exactly how they said as far as condition no problems would order again from them and would also recommend them to others.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Book
I ordered this for my niece. The book arrived on time on the condition as stated by the seller.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Vander's Review
It is a good source for any physiology class, even if the book is not required. It is an easy ready and helps you to understand the subject.
