For courses in Human Physiology. Move beyond memorization: Prepare students for tomorrow's challenges Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach is the #1 best-selling 1-semester human physiology text world-wide. The 8th Edition engages students in developing a deeper understanding of human physiology by guiding them to think critically and equipping them to solve real-world problems. Updates, such as new Try It activities and detailed teaching suggestions in the new Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, help students learn and apply mapping skills, graphing skills, and data interpretation skills. The text reflects Dr. Silverthorn's active learning style of instruction, and builds upon the thorough integration of "big picture" themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics that have always been the foundation of her approach. Mastering A&P features new Interactive Physiology 2.0 tutorials, new Try It! Coaching Activities, and Phys in Action! Video Tutors, complementing Human Physiology and providing a cohesive learning experience for today's learners. Also available packaged with Mastering A&P or as an easy-to-use, standalone Pearson eText Mastering (TM) is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and improves results for each student. Features in the text are supported by Mastering A&P assignments, including new Interactive Physiology 2.0 tutorials, Dynamic Study Modules, Learning Catalytics, 3D animations, lab study tools, Get Ready for A&P, plus a variety of Art Labeling Questions, Clinical problem-solving activities, and more. Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class-motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.
