About this product
Product Information
The many elements of anatomy, physiology and biology are hard to grasp, but this book makes it easier by putting all the systems in the context of daily activities, which we all do without thinking about. The major organs and systems are introduced in an approachable manner, and are explained so that they can be applied to practice.

'[Using] Activities of Daily Living as a framework for the layout of the textbook and delivery of the information makes it immediately accessible and familiar to the learner….The clear layout of tables and figures allow the reader to make easy reference and comparisons of the information provided…[and]…the use of plain language removes any barriers to learning' - Shannon, Newly Qualified Nurse 'Dr Cedar has the ability to explain very difficult concepts in very simple, easy to understand ways and this is reflected in her book.' Anna, Child Nursing Student 'Module content for anatomy and physiology is amply covered. The writing style is a key strength and very welcome. The fact that detail is not avoided is the key advantage to this large volume. There is more depth than initially needed but this simply means that students can return to it. Other introductory A&P books students grow out of very quickly that won't happen here and I would recommend the spend to students on this basis. Text books are expensive, students really need to invest well.' - Kevin Barrett, Course Leader for BSc (Hons) Paramedic Practice and Senior Lecturer for Pre-Registration Nursing Anatomy and Physiology modules, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Brighton, UK 'I love the concept of presenting bioscience within an ADL framework. This approach sits very well within the philosophy of holistic health care and nursing curricula in particular. As a teacher of pre-registration nursing students I love this book. It provides an important alternative approach to reductionist models that use body systems or regions to present information. I would certainly encourage my students to buy it as it lacks the overwhelming density of most anatomy and physiology texts…it makes complex concepts more accessible.' - Dr Melanie Birks, Associate Professor and Deputy Dean of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Central Queensland University, Australia 'I found the book very readable and I like the format and structure. The identification of activities of daily living is an interesting ploy that simultaneously gives a topic focus whilst retaining an overall conceptual framework. The reader is not faced with acres of dense text at any point, and the Health Connection panels continually reinforce the relevance. The structure lends itself to a topic focussed approach and the book is also easy to dip into for general interest. It does provide an excellent foundation. The book is clear and wide ranging and should prove a valuable addition to the student's bookshelf. Get it into e-reader form and insist they carry it with them at all times!' - Jim Clough, Senior Lecturer in Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, University of Gloucestershire, UK, 'Module content for anatomy and physiology is amply covered.

It provides a thorough, broad grounding in human biology. ...I was able to understand cellular biology, and the fundamentals of chemistry more clearly than ever before. The shape and nature of the periodic table is no longer a mystery to me. The genetic code is now crystal clear in my mind. Her explanations assumed no prior knowledge, and communicated ideas with great claritye.. This read more like a story than a text book, with her writing always seeking to explain matters in terms of homoeostasis, and how that affects the overall health of a human, my learning was deep and I was fully engaged. ee..It is an excellent reference on human biology." Neil Moffatt, Healthmatters.org.uk
