	The Physiology of the Novel: Reading, Neural Science, and the Form of Victorian Fiction by: Nicholas Dames publisher: Oxford University Press, USA, published: 2007-11-11 ISBN: 0199208964 sales rank: 870719 Product Description How did the Victorians read novels? Nicholas Dames answers that deceptively simple question by revealing a now-forgotten range of nineteenth-century theories of the novel, a range based in a study of human physiology during the act of reading, He demonstrates the ways in which the Victorians thought they read, and uncovers surprising responses to the question of what might have transpired in the minds and bodies of readers of Victorian fiction. His detailed studies of novel critics who were also interested in neurological science, combined with readings of novels by Thackeray, Eliot, Meredith, and Gissing, propose a vision of the Victorian novel-reader as far from the quietly immersed being we now imagine - as instead a reader whose nervous system was addressed, attacked, and soothed by authors newly aware of the neural operations of their public. Rich in unexpected intersections, from the British response to Wagnerian opera to the birth of speed-reading in the late nineteenth century, The Physiology of the Novel did, and still does, to the individual reader, and provides new answers to the question of how novels influenced a culture's way of reading, responding, and feeling.

	Anatomy and Physiology Made Incredibly Easy! by: Springhouse publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2000-10 ISBN: 1582550433 sales rank: 601620 Product Description Text and reference for students. Includes memory joggers, quizzes, core topics, illustrations, chapters on nutrition and metabolism, and more. Two-tone, expanded-outline format. Softcover. DNLM: Anatomy. Review Really breaks down the subject matter into easy to learn format. I can honestly say this helped to make me an A student. This book is a good review for anatomy and physiology. It focuses on the key points and is a necessity for any anatomy and physiology student. It helped me pass my A and P classes. However, I would also recommend the following:Tortora's Anatomy and Physiology textbookAnatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi Volume 1 isbn 0971999619, vol 2, isbn 0971999627,Both Leonardi's books are highly informative and had the same type of questions asked on my college anatomy and physiology exams. You can't go wrong with these four books! This book introduces way too many new terms in such a small space that one can easily lose sight of the entire function of the paragraph. The title make you think it will be a book for beginners, but its written more like a book for advanced Anatomy and Physiology. If you've never studied anatomy and physiology before I would NOT recommend this book, as I dont think a beginners brain could possibly absorb all the new terminology. The authors should have focused on key words, and left the other terms for an advanced editions. For example- this is a summary from a typical paragraph, I will put parenthesis around all the terms that are unfamiliar to a beginner-- Cardiovascular system-The hear lies beneath the (sternum) in the (mediastinum) surrounded by a sac called the (pericardium) the hearts wall is made up of (myocardium)(endocardium) and (epicardium), 4 chambers( 2 atria) and (2 ventricle)--(2 atrioventicular) and 2 (semilunar) valves. --------- THAT'S 10 UNFAMILIAR TERMS IN 1 PARAGRAPH, LEAVE OUT THE DETAILS PLEASE- unless you are in medical school, we dont need to know EVERY SINGLE part of the heart. Especially your first time learning about the body and its functions- it's entirely too much to absorb at once. And i definitely wouldnt title the book "MADE INCREDIBLY EASY" are yhou kidding me???????????
	Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Textbook, Short Version by: Harold J. Benson, Stanley E. Gunstream, Arthur Talaro, Kathleen Park Talaro publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, published: 2004-03-18 ISBN: 0072351098 sales rank: 748597 Product Description Benson's SHORT is designed for a 1 or 2-semester A&P course where no single dissection specimen is used. In addition to the dozens of effective exercises, this lab manual is unique in that students are asked to label many of the figures to reinforce concepts. It is self-contained, detailed, and very logical in its approach. Because of its detailed content (textual material, line art, photos, and histology micrographs), it is generally not necessary to take the course textbook to the lab. Review
