Humans are, by nature, curious. This book aims to stimulate readers' inherent curiosity toward an appreciation for the intricacy of human life and our place in the ecosphere. With a conversational writing style, applications that will interest students personally, and discussions of critical issues facing society, the authors help students understand their everyday experiences with their bodies and with the world around them. Presents the important concepts of human anatomy, physiology, development, genetics, evolution, and ecology, then applies them in ways readers will find interesting and relevant. Places greater emphasis on the applied and everyday aspects of human health than other books. Includes Special Topic Chapters that expand "pure biology" to cover issues with an interest in personal health, and are more thoroughly developed than they could be in an essay. Includes a visually stunning art program directed by two medical illustrators for accuracy and pedagogical integrity. For anyone interested in learning more about human biology.
