Read it – Ken Saladin explains human anatomy in an engaging, yet efficient way. He puts a premium on the words, and uses student–relevant analogies to motivate the reader. See it – Saladin's collection of illustrations and photos are carefully chosen to support the text discussion. Vibrant and realistic presentations engage students. Master it – With Connect Anatomy and Physiology, Learn Smart and Anatomy and Physiology Revealed, students can practice and improve their understanding of concepts.
From the most pedagogically sound organisation to the exceptional art, to the integration of text with technology, Saladin has formed a teaching system that will both motivate and enable students to understand and appreciate the wonders of human anatomy. This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other anatomy texts with an approach borne out of more than 30 years of teaching, unparalleled art, and a writing style that has been acclaimed by reviewers. Designed for a one–semester college anatomy course, Saladin requires no prior knowledge of chemistry or cell biology.
Users who purchase Connect receive access to the full online ebook version of the textbook as well as Anatomy and Physiology Revealed 3.0 and adaptive learning system – Learn Smart.
Key Features
A Storytelling Writing Style: Students and instructors alike cite Saladin's prose style as the number one attraction of this book. Students doing blind comparisons of Ken Saladin's chapters and those of other anatomy books routinely choose Saladin hands down, finding Saladin clearly written, easy to understand, and a stimulating, interesting read.
Fresh Analogies: Saladin's analogy-rich writing enables students to easily visualize abstract concepts in terms of everyday experience.
Instructive Artwork for Visual Learners: Saladin's stunning illustrations and photos entice students who regard themselves as “visual learners.”
Process Figures relate numbered steps in the art with corresponding numbered text descriptions.
Orientation Tools, like a compass on the anatomical art, clarify the perspective from which a structure is viewed.
Figure Legend Questions posed in many of the figure legends prompt the student to interpret the art and apply it to the reading.
Deeper Insight essays cover the clinical application of basic science. Some Deeper Insight boxes highlight medical history and evolutionary interpretations of human structure and function.
New illustrative concepts for: mesenteries (1.16), endocrine v. exocrine gland architecture (3.29), modes of exocrine secretion (3.31), cranial nerve pathways (15.24).
Learn Smart – the only truly adaptive learning system that intelligently identifies course content students have not yet mastered and maps out personalised study plans for their success. Unlike static flashcards or rote memorisation, LearnSmart ensures your students have mastered course concepts before taking the exam, thereby saving you time and increasing student success.
