* An innovative art program of generously sized illustrations - each including a key concept statement and review question -- provides a consistent learning environment enabling students to make the connection between text and visual elements.
* A concise narrative, praised by students for its straightforward and easily comprehensible writing style, emphasizes scientific content over extraneous detail.
* Exhibits -specially designed self-contained lessons -- provide students with the extra help needed to learn the numerous structures that constitute certain body systems - most notably skeletal muscles, articulations, blood vessels and nerves.
* The duel themes of homeostasis and disruptions to homeostasis are effectively presented through the relevant use of in-chapter applications, end-of-chapter disorder boxes, and end-of-chapter lists of medical terminology.
* Continued coverage of scientific research and breakthroughs in understanding the human body keep the book on the cutting edge.
* Carefully integrated learning aids, such as pronunciations, word roots, summary tables, and cross-references complement the readable narrative.
* An extensive supplements package with aids to facilitate the variety of teaching and learning styles.
