"Aimed specifically at students and those returning to nursing, this book should dispel any fears. It informs the reader of the key facts, but the authors are mindful not to overwhelm their readers nor to over-burden with detail...It is an ideal book to have close by for anyone studying nursing...Recommended."Karen Smyth, Nursing Student, University of Ulster, THES, Feb 2010 "At last a good text adapted for the UK market. Having listened to the pronunciation guide I am happy now to recommend this text. Good points: case studies linked to UK practice, I like the combination approach, the study skills advice, the targeting of learning theory to learning A&P, including adrenaline with epinephrine in brackets, interspersing calculations as exercises, good test activities, good reading for intro to A&P (ch. 2), good references (eg ch3), good reference to child/infant for burn extimation, good clinical application (eg assessing peripheral perfusion activity -pinching nail), good to see photographs."Penny Goacher, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of East Anglia "This fabulous book presents anatomy and physiology in a visually stimulating way, taking readers on a journey through what many view as a complex maze of systems. It embraces a variety of approaches to learning, with chapters on the body systems, sections on learning the language of anatomy, reading the body map, biochemistry, and study skills.The information is presented in a way that makes this book invaluable" Valerie McGurk, practice development facilitator, paediatrics, Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust (reviewed in Nursing Standard magazine, July 7-13 2010 edition) Preface Adapters Preface Acknowledgements Chapter 1 The Study Success Companion: The Key your successful journey Chapter 2 Anatomy & Physiology: Learning the Language Chapter 3 The Human Body: Reading the Map Chapter 4 Greetings from Biochemistry Chapter 5 The Cells: The Raw Materials and Building Blocks Chapter 6 Tissues and Cells: The Inside Story Chapter 7 The Skeletal System: The Framework Chapter 8 The Muscular System: Movement for the Journey Chapter 9 The Integumentary System: The Protective Covering Chapter 10 The Nervous System: The Body"s Control Center, Part One Chapter 11 The Nervous System: The Body"s Control Center, Part Two Chapter 12 The Endocrine System: The Body"s Other Control Center Chapter 13 The Special Senses: The Sights and Sounds Chapter 14 The Cardiovalcular System: Transport and Supply Chapter 15 The The Respiratory System: It"s a Gas Chapter 16 The Lymphatic and Immune Systems: Your Defernce Systems Chapter 17 The Gastrointestinal System: Fuel for the Trip Chapter 18 The Urinary System: Filtration and Fluid Balance Chapter 19 The Reproductive System: Replacement and Repair Chapter 20 The Journey"s End: Now What?
