Human Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function - 8th Edition Authors: Arthur Vander and James Sherman and Dorothy Luciano Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education

Human Physiology is a text designed to teach the functions of the human body from a mechanistic approach, stressing homeostasis and control systems. The fundamental purpose of this book has remained undeniably the same: to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates regardless of academic background or field of study. Human Physiology, eighth edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today's instructors and students.

Mechanistic approach. Physiology is explained as a dynamic process of clearly defined chains of causal links. This approach prevents students from viewing physiology as a memorizing exercise -- students must understand causal links and processes within the context of homeostasis. This mirrors the experience they will have in the clinical setting.

Chapter Sections. Most text chapters are broken down into sections which contain their own pedagogy: key words, summaries, review questions, thought questions. Gives more pedagogical support to individual topics within chapters. Breaks information into smaller functional "chunks" which are better grasped by students.

Reviewer: *****

A very clear and concise text book with plenty of information without being too difficult to get your head around. Quality colour pictures along with easy to read text make it a very user friendly study assistant.

Reviewer: **

I'm a medical student and I was recommended this book by the lecturers. However, once I bought it I realised that it was bit of a mistake as it is not detailed enough for the course, and there are other books which I prefer to use which cover the same subjects in much more detail. It is too basic for a Medical course, but I think that it would be better for A-level or higher human biology courses at school.

Reviewer: ****

I have used this several times as an aid to my 1st year physiology module at university. I bought Pocock and Richards first but wished I had got this instead. Both are good but I found this much more logical. Its the only book I could find which properly explained the action potential mechanism for me!!! This explains things clearly and concisely. It has good chapter and subsection summaries as well.I did a lot of revision from this ( 66% in my exam). I don't know if its suitable for higher levels because I did not continue the physiology into my 2nd year but I would recommend any one to look at this if you need a decent text.
