Description
For this 11th edition text designed for introductory courses at the foundation of numerous career paths, Tortora (biology, Bergen Community College) is joined by co-author Mark Nelsen (biology, U. of Utah), who has brought to the text a dramatic increase in cadaver photos and photomicrographs. The two have taught anatomy to tens of thousands of students over the years, and the text has been updated where necessary, presented in a larger trim size for better display of graphics, and enhanced with numerous visual and auditory electronic aids.
