"The world's foremost physiology textbook. Known for its clear presentation style, single-author voice, and focus on content most relevant to clinical and pre-clinical students, Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology, 14th Edition, employs a distinctive format to ensure maximum learning and retention of complex concepts. A larger font size emphasizes core information while supporting information, including clinical examples are detailed in smaller font and highlighted in pale lavender - making it easy to quickly skim the essential text or pursue more in-depth study. This two-tone approach, along with other outstanding features makes this bestselling text a favorite of students worldwide. Key features include : offers a clinically oriented perspective written with the clinical and pre-clinical student in mind, bridging basic physiology with pathophysiology ; focuses on core material and how the body maintains homeostasis to remain healthy, emphasizing the important principles that will aid in later clinical decision making ; presents information in short chapters using a concise, readable voice that facilitates learning and retention ; contains more than 1,200 full-color drawings and diagrams - all carefully crafted to make physiology easier to understand ; features expanded clinical coverage including obesity, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and other degenerative diseases."--adapted from back cover
