Personality
Contemporary Theory and Research
Description:... A text for students who are planning careers in the life or health sciences, at various levels of preparation. Early background chapters on the scientific method, basic chemistry, physics, and molecular and cell biology are useful for students with no college-level science. Underlying principles of anatomy are explained throughout, though emphasis is on function rather than structure. Chapters progress from the molecular-cellular level through biological control systems to integrated organ function. Includes color diagrams and photos, chapter summaries, review quizes and questions, key terms, margin icons, a glossary, and an appendix of medical terminology. This third edition offers critical thinking questions, opening vignettes, new focus boxes on current research, and new chapters on the immune response and environmental physiology.
