Brief Contents

Frederic (Ric) H. Martini, Ph.D.

Author

Dr. Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. In addition to professional publications that include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles, he is the lead author of ten undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy. Dr. Martini is currently affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa and has a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. He has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for over 24 years and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is now a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2005–2007. Dr. Martini is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.

• NEW! A new emphasis on using art more effectively informs multiple changes to layout and figure organization, as well as a new system of integrated figure prompts and questions, helping ensure that students view and navigate the art more efficiently and effectively to enhance learning.
• NEW! Modules 1.1 – 1.5 introduce students to the importance of studying the art in the book and then guides them through how to study the figures in the text.
• NEW! Integrated Figure Questions encourage students to answer thought-provoking questions as part of viewing the figure and increases the likelihood that students will spend time viewing the art.
• NEW! Everyday Physiology features are sprinkled throughout the text to help students see connections to real-life applications.

A hallmark approach, organization, and presentation 

• The Visual Approach breaks out of the narrative-first model of other two-semester A&P books. Instead of long columns of text that refer to visuals, this book integrates visuals with the text. Students can't read without seeing the corresponding visual, and they can't look at a visual without reading. This book has true text-art integration, which encourages reading and enhances understanding.
• The Modular Organization presents each chapter in self-contained, two-page spreads. The top left page begins with the module number and module title, the bottom right page ends with the learning outcome for each module, and the text-art presentation with integrated self-check questions constitutes the rest of the spread. These two-page spreads give students a predictable learning path and an efficient organization method for managing their time. Everything they need is contained within these spreads, which means no page flipping to find relevant figures. Within each chapter, related modules are orga
