About our authorsFREDERIC (RIC) MARTINI, PH.D. (author) received his Ph.D. from Cornell University. In addition to his technical and journal publications, he has been the lead author of ten undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy. Dr. Martini is currently affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa and has a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. He has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for 24 years and is now a President Emeritus of HAPS. He is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.
EDWIN F. BARTHOLOMEW, M.S. (author) received his undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and his M.S. from the University of Hawaii. His interests range widely, from human anatomy and physiology to the marine environment, “backyard” aquaculture, and art. Mr. Bartholomew has taught human anatomy and physiology at both the secondary and undergraduate levels. In addition, he has taught a range of other science courses (from botany to zoology) at Maui Community College (now the University of Hawaii Maui College). For many years, he taught at historic Lahainaluna High School, the oldest high school west of the Rockies, where he assisted in establishing an LHS Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) chapter. He has written journal articles, a weekly newspaper column, and many magazine articles. Working with Dr. Martini, he coauthored Structure & Function of the Human Body and The Human Body in Health and Disease (Pearson). Along with Dr. Martini and Dr. Judi Nath, he coauthored Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Tenth Edition. He also coauthored Visual Anatomy & Physiology, Second Edition, with Dr. Martini, Dr. William Ober, Dr. Judi Nath, and Dr. Kevin Petti. Mr. Bartholomew is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, National Science Teacher's Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
For one-semester courses in anatomy & physiology.
Guide students through a challenging course in Anatomy & Physiology to a future in healthcare
Celebrated for its precise illustrations,emphasis on integration, and engaging clinical content, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology is crafted especially for students with no prior knowledge of anatomy & physiology and little science background.
The 8th Edition guides students through tough A&P topics, helping them retain challenging content in the fast-paced one-semester A&P course. The new edition draws on the outstanding art and hallmark features from the text to create interactives and digital assets that walk students through complicated art and help them to understand difficult concepts. New Build Your Knowledge Interactivesfocus on how the body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. New Spotlight Figure Videos take a popular, visually driven feature from the book and add annotation and narration to break it down for students in an organized, systematic way. .
Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering A&P:
Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It allows students to easily highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class—motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.
If your instructor has assigned Pearson eText as your main course material, search for:
- 0135310113 / 9780135310113 Pearson eText Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology -- Access Card, 8/e
OR
- 0135310121 / 9780135310120 Pearson eText Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology -- Instant Access, 8/e
Also available with Mastering A&P
By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.Built for, and directly tied to the text, Mastering A&P enables an extension of learning, allowing students a platform to practice, learn, and apply outside of the classroom.
If you would like to purchase both the physical text and Mastering A&P, search for:
0135205573 / 9780135205570 Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Plus Mastering A&P with Pearson eText -- Access Card Package
Package consists of:
- 0135203805 / 9780135203804 Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology
- 013520397X / 9780135203972 Mastering A&P with Pearson eText -- ValuePack Access Card -- for Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology
Note: You are purchasing a standalone book; Pearson eText and Mastering A&P do not come packaged with this content. Students, ask your instructor for the correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
- An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

- Spotlight Figures are visual 1- and 2-page presentations of tough topics with a focus on physiology and combine brief text with related figures and photos to communicate information in a visually effective format.
- Build Your Knowledge boxes and Integration Figures coach students through physiology, referring back to previously learned concepts before introducing new information.
- Clinical Notes expand upon topics just discussed, present diseases and pathologies with their relationship to normal function, and relate directly to what students will encounter in future careers.
- Side-by-Side Figures provide multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an illustrator's rendering with a photo of the actual structure from the laboratory or operating room.
- Build Your Knowledge reading questions, based on Build Your Knowledge sections, appear throughout each chapter to ensure students have the background knowledge needed to work with new content in the chapter.
- Checkpoint questions appear at the end of each section, closing out major topics. Each Checkpoint checks student understanding of important facts and/or concepts according to what students most need to remember from the section in the chapter.
- Step-by-Step Figures break down multifaceted processes into numbered step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors' narrative descriptions.
- Macro-to-Micro Figures bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs or other structures to their smaller parts. An illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid illustration of that organ or structure, a corresponding cross-sectional view and a photomicrograph.
