Designed for undergraduates this thoroughly updated eighth edition
of Human Biology, continues to present the latest information on
the structure, function, health, and disease of the human body, while
maintaining the central organisational theme of homeostasis. This acclaimed
text explores the world from the cellular level, followed by a look at tissues
and organs, and then moves on to a discussion of humans as organisms
within a complex evolutionary and ecological environment. Dr. Chiras
discusses the scientific process in a thought-provoking way that challenges
students to become deeper, more critical thinkers. The focus on health and
homeostasis allows students to learn key concepts while also assessing their
own health needs and learning how to implement a healthy lifestyle.
