	Body by Design: An Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body
	By: Alan L. Gillen ISBN: 0890512965 Publisher: Master Books Release Date: June, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 445755	Could we -- Homo sapiens -- have just happened through a series of evolutionary changes over thousands of years? Careful examination of the human body reveals that macroevolution of Homo sapiens is not possible. The more intricately one explores human anatomy and physiology, the more obvious creation by a Master Creator becomes. The more scientific research discovers about the functioning of the human body, the more obvious a planned, "intelligent design" by God becomes. <p>High school and college anatomy and physiology textbooks usually present an evolutionist view without presenting accurate, truthful explanations of what is known and what is theory. Even in clinically-oriented texts that used to be "neutral," such as human anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, we now see Darwinian philosophy and medicine interwoven throughout. Logical reasoning and statistical explanations for these "new" developments of human structure, function, and disease are not discussed. References from other scientists that mention God are not accurately quoted, or worse, not acknowledged at all.<br> <br>Body by Design presents human anatomy and physiology clearly, accurately and truthfully. Purposeful, intricate design of structure and function are discussed. The evidence for logical, deliberate design by God is interwoven into a detailed explanation of the human body systems. Body system relationships to one another are explored. Students are challenged to think through the evidence -- the facts as we know them today -- and to consider the statistical likelihood of macroevolution. The end result is an effective, interwoven presentation of anatomy, physiology and creation. <p>Body by Design defines the basic anatomy and physiology in each of the eleven body systems, as do many texts. However, the unique contribution of this book is the evidence it provides for design in each of these systems through description of their basic biology. Body by Design also contains biographical information about famous biologists, like Vesalius, Harvey, Starling, Pasteur, Lister, and Cuvier revealing that a design view of the body is not new. Instead, this is a common view held through the ages. Only in recent times have biologists been so antagonistic towards the idea of a Creator being responsible for the origin of mankind. Additionally, the book compares and contrasts the viewpoints of creation/design with macroevolution on specific human traits.<p>Tables assist the reader with understanding relationships between design and purpose. Figures provide details of key anatomical structures and physiologic principles. Clear examples are used to explain relationships between structure, function and intelligent design. Focus boxes stimulate thinking and provide practical application of the information presented. "Check Your Understanding" questions, at the conclusion of each chapter, go beyond rote memory to stimulate process thinking and reasoning.<p>Body by Design achieves a marvelous interweaving of anatomy, physiology, and creation. Only high school and college students who are willing to explore the intricacies of human anatomy and physiology in a logical, thought provoking manner should venture into this textbook. <p>Inis Jane Bardella, M.D., FAAFP<br>Assistant Professor <br>Department of Family Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology<br>University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine<br>Pittsburgh, PA 15261 This is an amazing mix of creation science and intelligent design. I highly reccomend it not only for a textbook but for a top resource in anybody's library. Gillen does a great job of pointing out that creationists embrace science and have no problem with natural selection, mutations, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and much more. This book is a great resource for refuting evolutionary thinking with science.
	Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual (Fetal Pig Version)
	By: Elaine Marieb, Susan J. Mitchell ISBN: 0805373632 Publisher: Pearson Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 2008 Bioscience book rank: 298091
	The Johns Hopkins Atlas of Human Functional Anatomy
	By: Leon Schlossberg, George D. Zuidema ISBN: 0801856523 Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press Release Date: 24 November, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 319509	This is an excellent reference for anyone who is studying functional human anatomy. This edition contains added information not found in previous editions. This additional information makes this reference manual more complete. I highly recommend this manual for pre-med, medical, nursing, and other healthcare program students that are studying human anatomy! This book is a very good book for a beginning medical student. I bought it as a reference book for my medical transcription work because of the color plates (I hope Amazon prints a sample of one of the colored pages so buyers can appreciate how good the book is; they did print a list of the color plates). The illustrations are very good and very detailed, showing exactly where everything is inside the human body. What's more, the illustrations are meticulously and completely labelled in detail! This is what made me buy the book. It helps me visualize where the anatomical part is positioned while transcribing, which gives me a good idea of what to expect when a physician dictates a particular procedure on that part. There are write-ups by doctors prior to each illustration, so you can refer back to it every so often to understand how things work and tie up together. A sample of pictures are: the complete illustration of the anatomical man, fetal circulation (with amazing close-up details of the placenta), the skeletal system, muscular system (with muscles, ligaments, fasciae, tendons, bursae), shoulder and hip joints, inguinal regions, hernias, development of blood cells, lymphatics, a really big picture of the anatomical ear, mechanics of vision, and a composite anatomy of the vascular system based upon arteriograms and venograms.<p>This is by no means a definitive anatomy book (it is only 166 pages). For advanced med students this is not recommended. But for those without a medical background but who work in the associated fields of the medical profession (nurses and transcriptionists among others), this is a good summary-of-the-anatomy book.
	Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, Control Systems of the Human Body Vol. 3, 10th Edition
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Sandra R. Grabowski ISBN: 0471229334 Publisher: Wiley Release Date: 20 January, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 409314	I thought I ordered the entire book. I received only one volume of a 12 volume set. My anatomy teacher told us that a very high percentage of students that use this book fail the class. I don't know where he got this information, and after getting to know him, he might have been saying that to scare us into studying more. The material is very in depth, but it is also very clear. Personally, I really liked this textbook and the class - so much in fact that I sold the second-hand copy I used in class and bought a brand new one on Amazon for my personal library. It came with a CD that was very helpful, and also with a year of free access to an online site with excellent quizes and photographs. (At least it did when I bought mine) I have had occassion to refer back to it since I took the class some years ago, and expect to refer to it in the future as well. Oh man! I studied countless hours with this book. It beats around the bush, gives an incredable amount of definitions and makes it boring! The pictures did not help at all, all I did was ready over and over and over and over again. There is a lot of understanding in anatomy and this book did not help at all. I would suggest taking anatomy at a community college where this book is not used
	Human Anatomy Laboratory Guide and Dissection Manual (4th Edition)

	Sobotta Atlas of Human Anatomy: Head, Neck, Upper Limb (Atlas of Human Anatomy (Sobotta))

	Drawing Human Anatomy
	By: Giovanni Civardi ISBN: 0289800897 Publisher: Sterling Release Date: 31 December, 1995 Bioscience book rank: 465953	At only 87 pages, Giovanni Civardi's "Drawing Human Anatomy" is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE of the subject covered over 50 years ago in "Atlas Of Human Anatomy For The Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck, and since Peck's now classic text covers anatomy in 257 pages, it is difficult to pronounce Civardi's peremptory treatment of anatomy as a bargain and give it a many-star rating. It is not bad instruction or anything like that. What is there, is GOOD. It's just that when better books rate five stars, bargain books like this really aren't that much of a bargain. In art instruction, less is seldom "better". Some will give such a book a very high rating, perhaps not knowing what else is on the market. I was fifteen when I bought this book from a local art store. I have always been interested in drawing people and this book was so helpful I couldn't even believe it. I have had it for about 3 and a half months and I have drawn nearly every thing in it twice. It is the perfect book to learn from and definetely helps you draw things more realistically and proportionally. This has helped me tremendously and I can't imagine what my skills were like before I started using this wonderful book. For many years, browsing the shelves of bookstores looking for something fresh proved to be a fruitless exercise. Then one day I came across this book and it made the long search worthwhile! <p>The strength of this title is evident from just the cover and inside it proved to be equally impressive. My preference for anatomy drawings is pencil on white paper and this delivers in spades. The reproduction is flawless, with a rare crispness that adds greatly to my enjoyment of the drawings.<p>Although only 87 pages long the clear, precise plates are a superb reference and the technical mastery of Civardi's drawing is a joy to behold and very inspirational.<p>I rate this as one of the must-have books in any artist's collection.

	Color Atlas and Textbook of Human Anatomy: Locomotor System (Flexibook)
	By: Werner Platzer, Werner Kahle, M. Frotscher ISBN: 1588901599 Publisher: Thieme Medical Publishers Release Date: July, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 97944	I have recently purchased the latest edition to replace my well-thumbed earlier edition. Platzer boxes far above its weight. Every page contains a gem. And it fits in your pocket! The new colour additions are great and the price... It's a must. This is the book to have when you are in anyway keeping in touch with human body. The earlier versions had lack of infomation and they were much harder to use. This has more colourfull pages and more pages than the earlier versions and it is easy to carry cos' it's so small. I'm recomending you to buy it if you're in any need of information about human struckture. This is one of a great series. I like them all..Easy to use...easy to carry. My volume 2 is over 20 years old. I hope to have this one as long.
