Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. In addition to professional publications that include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles, I am the lead author of ten undergraduate textbooks, two Atlases, and five clinical manuals in the fields of anatomy and physiology or anatomy. I have also published a book for amateur naturalists and my most recent effort is a nonfiction work based on declassified WWII and post-war documents held in the archives of the US and other countries.

I am currently affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, after retiring from teaching at the Maui campus. I have a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire.

I have been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for over 24 years and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for undergraduate anatomy and physiology. I am a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2005–2007 and also belong to 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. I have been a member of the Authors Guild since 1994 and a member of the Textbook Authors Association since 1990.

There is no text to speech. I only used kindle to do this so I had this option. I use this function when driving long distances. I would be better off having gotten a hard copy.

I waited to get my text to see if i would actually need a book because some professors don't even use them, and after seeing the price at the university book store i thought i would try to find it cheaper than $200.00 for a book i would only use once. Renting this text made it cheaper and reduced my pile of books around the house because i can send it back. I received my textbook 3 days after ordering, so waiting to get it was no be deal because of the fast standard shipping!

I used this book for a class at UCLA, and it was fantastic. The writing in most anatomy books is quite dry, but this one does a good job of tying anatomy and physiology together in a readable, layperson-friendly format. I especially loved the parts on EKGs and sodium ion pumps. Great diagrams and useful tables helped me study many a night, and I consider this my favorite A&P textbook of all (I've used 3 different texts, and am about to start Physician Assistant school using a 4th).

Hard to believe I'm giving a textbook 5 stars...
