About the Author

Dr. Frederic (Ric) Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. His publications include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles. He is the lead author of six other undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy, and has a feature column, “Back to Basics,” in Physician License and Practice Today, a quarterly publication for medical students and residents. He is currently affiliated faculty of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and remains connected with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Martini has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for 15 years, and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is now a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2004—2007. He is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.

 

Dr. Judi L. Nath is a professor of Biology and Health Sciences at Lourdes College in Sylvania, Ohio, where she teaches anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. After receiving her bachelor’s degrees in biology and German from Bowling Green State University, she continued on at Bowling Green to earn her master’s degree and her Ph.D. from the University of Toledo. Dr. Nath is devoted to her students and strives to convey the intricacies of science in a captivating way that students find meaningful, interactive, and exciting. She won Lourdes’ “Faculty Excellence” award, granted by the college to recognize her effective teaching, scholarship, and community service. Dr. Nath has also served as biology department chair. Being a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) is one of her passions, and she has been elected to office twice and has served on several committees, including the Curriculum and Instruction Committee, which was charged with developing outcomes that match the prescribed curriculum standards established by HAPS. She also holds professional memberships in the American Association of Anatomists (AAA), the Society for College Science Teaching (SCST), and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). She is the sole author of Using Medical Terminology: A Practical Approach (published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins), the first book to use a “foreign language/total immersion” approach to teaching medical terminology within the context of applied anatomy and physiology. Dr. Nath has also written ancillary materials, including lecture outlines and test items, for several Martini A&P textbooks. In her spare time Judi takes pleasure in bicycling, playing piano, and enjoying life with her husband, Mike, and their dogs.

I am writing a review to help clarify what is shipped with the book. Some reviewers expressed discontent that Amazon does not include the Atlas. I received my order yesterday and it included the textbook, the Atlas, and the My A&P CD. This is the complete package and is the same as the package sold at the campus bookstore.

This review is from: Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology with IP 10-System suite (8th Edition) (Hardcover)

Hi. I received my order today. However, the customer photo contains more items than I received in my package. I got the hard cover edition plus 3 bonus items which are: CD-ROM-INTERACTIVE PHYSIOLOGY 10-SYSTEM SUITE which has interactive tutorials and quizzes, ATLAS OF HUMAN BODY, AND A 'MY A&P ACCESS CODE CARD'. So will have to purchase the Lab Manual separately. Would have been cool if it had been included, maybe person who posted pics bought it seperately but just included in the pic.??

5.0 out of 5 stars Great textbook for a good price., February 3, 2009

Dragonkal8000 "Dragonkal8000" (NewYork, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology with IP 10-System suite (8th Edition) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent textbook. All of the diagrams and examples are well organized and the diction is such that you will never get lost while reading. The price of this book though was what made this a good deal. The textbook CD, online key as well as a detailed body atlas are packaged along with the textbook for a better studying experience. I did need a lab manual however but it made sense that it would not be packaged with the textbook considering the price that the textbook was sold. Overall I was very pleased with this.
