Student Workbook for Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach

by Dee Unglaub Silverthorn

Co-written by author Dee Silverthorn, this student study guide is adapted from materials the author developed for her own class. Each chapter features a "guided note-taking" series of questions that allow students to learn the basics as they read. Assigning these questions as pre-class homework helps instructors free up class time for interactive learning activities. Other helpful study aids include try-it-yourself activities, quantitative and application-level review questions, chapter summaries, lab exercises, and reading lists.

wcale nie przeczytałam całej ale shhhh, najlepsza science book ever

[Sadia]

excellent book, although i read it as a course material i learnt greatly from the book. The author has done a wonderful job making the book easy to understand yet grasp all the details and terms required for a physiology class. Highly Recommend the book - the CD is great as well!

Wonderful textbook!

Polecam, bardzo śmieszkowa, można nawet się zaśmiać ucząc się o 3 nad ranem do egzaminu, zdarzyło się, że parsknęłam śmiechem. Potrafi dobrze wprowadzić i wytłumaczyć temat, jednak raczej zalecałabym jeszcze coś dodatkowego. Egzamin zdany, więc to co wyciągnęłam z tej książki chyba się prowadzącemu podobało. <3

Every once in a while a chemist ought to read some biology. For me, reviewing physiological processes at the level of systems and organs gave a higher level view than my typical molecular - receptor perspective. I give this textbook 5 stars!

I take out this textbook out so often!!!! And i actually use this one lol. Good for biochem & so great for molecular bio and physiology

This book is so good at laying things out clearly for a subject that is highly complex and dynamic. Although the book lacks a bit of the integration that is required for a discipline like Physiology, it gives the basic outline of how Physiology should be approached, mastered, and reviewed for better understanding (and grades haha). It also has VERY helpful images and diagrams that help to think through the material when the text isn't making sense. I would recommend this book to anyone taking an introductory Physiology course, with the disclaimer that they will probably learn other more interesting things (practical applications and real life scenarios) in lectures.

[Humayra Sullivan]

A very good book with interesting case studies spread throughout each chapter. The language was easy, the explanations were thorough and overall it was readable. My only complaint is that it had a LOT of detail, but maybe it was written for a course that covered things in more depth than mine did. A lot of the time I skimmed over sections because there was just so much that I didn't need. Overall a good book.

Not my favorite class ever but that's what happens when you take something hard senior year. Also, I did not have and still do not have a desire to study any sort of medicine and this was directed towards future doctors.

[Iida]

Actually read 3rd edition, partly.

[James]

Good book for Integrative Physiology background, one of the better classes I've taken.

[Zachary Lawson]

One of the better texts out there. The writing is clear and concise. There are a plethora of diagrams and charts that really illuminate the concepts.

[Sherry]

A very nice human physiology check book.

[Ali Azawi]

A book to learn many facts about human body, not sure how help it is with our school system. :)

[Chen]

McGill, ANSC 323 - Mammalian physiology. Not a good textbook: general, vague and not-so-informative.

[Jared Johnson]

poor content, poor writing, disorganized, etc., etc.
worst text book ever
