Summary: "The new edition retains the overall organization and the pedagogy that students and instructors have praised in the last edition. It also retains the modular structure of Chapter 2, The Body's Physical Systems, which allows instructors to choose to cover all of the systems at once (assign the whole chapter) or distribute them to other chapters. For students using the distributed approach, appropriate subsequent chapters have salient notices that tell students when to read a specific module that is relevant to the current material. For example, a notice to read Module 4 (The Respiratory System) appears early in Chapter 7 at the start of the discussion of smoking tobacco, and a notice with the Key Terms list for that chapter reminds the students to study Module 4"-- Provided by publisher.
