Frederic (Ric) H. Martini, Ph.D.Dr. Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. In addition to professional publications that include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles, he is the lead author of 10 undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology. He has also published books on tropical islands, on WWII history, and in science fiction. Dr. Martini has a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire, where he received his undergraduate degree. He has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for over 30 years and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2005-2007. Dr. Martini is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists, and the Society of Military History.
Edwin F. Bartholomew, M.S
Edwin F. Bartholomew received his undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University and his M.S. from the University of Hawaii. Mr. Bartholomew has taught human anatomy and physiology at both the secondary and undergraduate levels. In addition, he has taught courses ranging from botany to zoology at Maui Community College (now the University of Hawaii Maui College). For 17 years, he taught at historic Lahainaluna High School, the oldest high school west of the Rockies, where he assisted in establishing a Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) chapter. He is a coauthor of Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Visual Anatomy & Physiology, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Visual Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Structure and Function of the Human Body, and The Human Body in Health and Disease (all published by Pearson). Mr. Bartholomew is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the National Association of Biology Teachers, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Lahaina Arts Society.
For one-semester courses in anatomy & physiology.
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 Interactives focus on how the body systems work together to maintain homeostasis.

- 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.
