#1 selling text with great explanations and just enough anatomy!

Clear explanations and a solid learning framework have been market tested and refined. Fox helps students master the fundamentals by providing appropriate anatomical detail.

Human Physiology, Thirteenth Edition, is intended for the one-semester Human Physiology course often taken by allied health and biology students. The beginning chapters introduce basic chemical and biological concepts to provide students with the framework they need to comprehend physiological principles. The chapters that follow promote conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization of facts. Health applications are included throughout the book to heighten interest, deepen understanding of physiological concepts, and help students relate the material to their individual career goals. Every effort has been made to help students integrate related concepts and understand the relationships between anatomical structures and their functions.

Users who purchase Connect receive access to the full online eBook version of the textbook.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in Brooklyn NY and moved to East LA when I was 3. Realizing that a cosmic mistake had been made, I spent the years between then and now rectifying the error, eventually moving home to the Eastern Sierras. In the meantime I earned a doctorate, taught college, and published several college textbooks in biology, anatomy and physiology, and human physiology. My lab manual and textbook in human physiology have been the leaders since they were first published and are now in their sixteenth editions (McGraw-Hill).

I always loved "what if" stories and have now written three, which comprise the Green People Chronicles. The first novel is Becoming Green. What if a new human species were engineered? This will probably happen, and that time may be sooner than we'd like. This is a hybrid work; part science fiction, part medical mystery, part thriller, part romance, and partly a homage to the mountains I love.

Becoming Green is a prequel to Exile at Dawn, where the Greens have been moved to an internment camp located in Aurora, Nevada, where Mark Twain panned for gold. Teenagers Tom and Gloria discover romantic love as they grow into Green leaders, and Tom's sister Lilly must deal with being a mom to the first Green child, the death of the child's father, and a love interest that threatens to bring genocide of the Greens.

Bootstrapped can be read as the third book in the Green People Chronicles, or it can be read first. Or it can be read independent of the other two novels. Immortality and murder; Pleistocene Eden and genetically altered future; Romance and responsibility are its themes. I've always been fascinated with the idea of going back in time to Pleistocene California, before humans arrived. On the one hand, scary megafauna. like lions, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, and others would be all around. On the other hand, they'd never have seen a human and may not identify one as prey. Prey species wouldn't identify humans as predators either, so it could be a potential Eden for the first people to arrive. These are Zack and Helen, our time traveling Adam and Eve. Eden can't last, however, and those two must take actions that can determine the future of all humans.

In pre-med during the 80s I studied from an earlier version of the book in human physiology for pre-med. In the new edition, I'm happy to see updates and keeping of physiological systems equations as in 80s version. Both are important. A go to book.
