"Audience Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, third edition, is intended for students in associate degree, certification, and careertraining programs; students in high-school advanced placement classes; students who are seeking a general education science class; and those who may not have set foot in a college classroom for many years. The prose and vocabulary in Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology are appropriate to serve this broad spectrum of readers. Keeping in mind that many students are interested in exploring medical professions, a "Career Spotlight" feature has been included in every chapter, and references to further career information are found in appendix B. Theme The goal of this book is to help students succeed. Like climbing a mountain, learning essentials of anatomy and physiology takes place one step at a time, and, similar to the feeling of exhilaration when one has arrived at a mountain peak, there is a powerful sense of achievement upon mastering the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. The mountain-climbing theme is echoed in visual and pedagogical features of the book. A base camp on the first page of each chapter lists key information students need to understand in preparation for navigating the chapter. Throughout the chapter, there are milestones that mark progress, such as the Before You Go On checkpoints with an image of a climber steadily moving upward. The study guide at the end of each chapter features a victorious climber on the summit, a celebration that mirrors the student's mastery of the chapter information. What's New in the Third Edition?
