Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Succeed in your biology course with ANIMAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION! With coverage of animal tissues, homeostasis, anatomy and physiology of all major organ systems, and many human applications, this animal physiology text provides you with the tools you need to succeed. The discussion of current biological topics shows you how what you are learning applies to your own life. Study aids such as a built-in cross-referencing system for key topics make exam preparation easy.

About the Author
For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."

Ralph Taggart, Former Chair of Biological Sciences at Michigan State University, Ralph Taggert is now the chair of Geological Sciences. Professor Taggart, known for his outstanding research in Paleobotany, has taught the general biology course for over 20 years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Animal Structure and Function, December 12, 2001
By Naima A. Carter (Sacamento, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
I ordered a used copy. The book arrived quickly and looked new. This text is highly condensed but easy to follow with great diagrams and pictures. I especially like the examples of how the body systems work in tandem. Not only is the language understandable but one can write a synopsis without too much hassle.
