White, DNS (Indiana State University) Description: The 5th edition of Mader's text offers a foundational yet comprehensive understanding of human anatomy and physiology. The previous edition was published in 2001. Purpose: The three goals explicitly stated by the author are to (1) allow the student to gain a conceptual understanding of anatomy and physiology, (2) use appropriate medical terminology related to this subject, and (3) apply these concepts to the clinical setting. It is not enough for health care providers to merely memorize material. Safe and effective practice requires that one first have a clear understanding of 'normal' before 'abnormal' can be recognized. The author does an excellent job of developing this basic understanding in the 5th edition. Audience: This text is appropriate for those students pursuing a career in allied health such as EMTs, LPNs, or others who are at the beginning levels of health care education.

The author intends this material to be useful to a wide audience including those with no previous science background. This introductory material provides the foundation for more involved study later in a health care curriculum. The author is well qualified with extensive experience writing texts for health-related subjects. Features: The text discusses all human body systems and describes the relationship between structure and function within each system as well as the interconnectedness between body systems. There are several chapter features that add to the usefulness of this book.
In addition to the basic information, there are short discourses on new medical evidence and treatments pertinent to a particular body system, tables with key terms, and chapter outlines. Of particular usefulness are study questions that allow the student to review the material in general as well as a section of questions that help the student to determine the extent to which he has met the chapter's learning objectives. An extensive appendix of medical terminology is also included. Generally, while I believe this is a fine text for use with beginning students, I do not believe it can appropriately be titled as only an anatomy and physiology text. It combines A&P, medical terminology, and pathology into one volume and I think should be titled as such. It is commendable that the author chose to address these ancillary topics that are so necessary to understanding anatomy and physiology but the content should be readily apparent in the title. Assessment: This is an excellent introductory textbook that provides the student with enough basic body structure and function with which to build upon in subsequent health-related courses.
It is at minimum on a par with other introductory texts such as Shier, Butler, & Lewis (2006). Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (9th Ed), McGraw-Hill. Since the last edition was 2001, new information that has been discovered in the medical sciences make this 5th edition necessary.
