Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780073378299) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

"Ken Saladin's penchant for writing began early. For his 10th-grade biology class, he wrote a 318-page monograph on hydras with 53 original India ink drawings and 10 original photomicrographs. We at McGraw-Hill think of this as Ken's "first book." At a young age, Ken already was developing his technical writing style, research habits, and illustration skills. Ken served as an A&P textbook reviewer and testbank writer for several years and then embarked on his first book for McGraw-Hill in 1993. He published the first edition of Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function in 1997 and his first edition of Human Anatomy in 2004.
