Biology: A Human Health Perspective

Autor Harry E. Peery, Matthew B. Connior, Susan Peery
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2026
Biology: A Human Health Perspective offers important medical case histories and complex color illustrations, interacts with the reader, and asks questions throughout. Sections cover the basic chemistry of biology and cell origins, and energy and protein processing before discussing cell reproduction, genetics, evolution, and their place in public healthcare. Clinical applications and medical terminology are also included across chapters, and pioneering medical developments such as holographic surgery, robotic neurosurgery, and tractography are featured.

This textbook, along with supporting ancillary materials such as PowerPoint slides, solution manuals and quiz banks is a vital resource for all undergraduate students studying biology or for those looking to develop a career in a health profession who need a basic understanding of the field.

  • Updates on pioneering bioengineering developments such as holographic surgery, robotic neurosurgery, and tractography
  • Includes medical case histories at the beginning of every chapter
  • Contains clinical applications and full color illustrations in every chapter
  • Provides ancillary materials such as Test/Quiz banks, PowerPoint slides, and a Solutions manual
