Fundamentals of Human Biology and Health gives students a solid understanding of how human cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and whole organisms operate. Designed to be used on its own or as a textbook supplement, the material includes clear, concise information covering the main physiological systems in the human body, their interconnections, and what individuals can do to maintain healthy bodies and lifestyles.

The text explores how and why we study biology, and where human beings fit into the amazing diversity of life. After some basic chemistry as it relates to the study of biology, the text provides information about human cells and different tissues types, and then explores the main organ systems in the body. Relevant disorders, diseases, drugs, fitness, nutrition, and other health issues are included along the way. Subsequent material addresses genetics, cancer, evolution, ecology, and conservation.

Fundamentals of Human Biology and Health provides basic information in an accessible way. This text is an outstanding supplement to any basic course in either general biology or human biology. It has very accessible language that would be appropriate for both high school and college-level students. It can also be used in courses on anatomy and physiology.
