A true companion to Tortora's "Principles of Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition," this unique Illustrated Notebook is a tool for organized note taking in class and for review during study. Following the sequence in the textbook, each left-handed page displays an unlabeled black and white copy of every text figure. Students can fill in the labels during lecture or lab at the instructor's directions and take additional notes on the lined right-handed pages.

This Illustated Notebook is to accompany the new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology which maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp.

Gerard J. Tortora is Professor of Biology and former coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology. He received his bachelor's degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master's degree in science education from Montclair State College. He is a member of many professional organizations, such as the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAS), National Education Association (NEA), and the
