 |  Human Biology, 7/e Dr. Sylvia S. Mader
PrefaceHuman Biology introduces students to the anatomy and physiology of the
human body. All systems of the body are represented and each system has its
own chapter. The text can also be used to help students understand the role
that humans play in the biosphere. All of us need to realize how human activities
threaten ecosystems, and seek ways to lessen our impact on the biosphere.
The application of biological principles to practical human
concerns is now widely accepted as a suitable approach to the study of biology
because it fulfills a great need. All students should leave college with a firm
grasp of how their bodies normally function, and how the human population can
become more fully integrated into the biosphere.
We are frequently called upon to make health and environmental decisions. Wise
decisions require adequate knowledge and can help assure our continued survival
as individuals and as a species.
In this edition, as in previous editions, each chapter
presents the topic clearly, simply, and distinctly so that students will feel
capable of achieving an adult level of understanding. Detailed, high-level scientific
data and terminology are not included because I believe that true knowledge
consists of working concepts rather than technical facility.
Pedagogical Features
Human Biology excels in pedagogical features. Each
chapter begins with an integrated chapter outline that lists the chapter's concepts
according to numbered sections of the chapter. This numbering system is continued
in the chapter and summary so that instructors can assign just certain portions
of the chapter, if they like.
The text is paged so that major sections start at the top
of the page and illustrations are on the same or facing page to their reference.
The illustrations are visually motivating, and the art program has many features
that students will find helpful. Color coordination includes assigning colors
to the various classes of organic molecules and to the different human tissues
and organs. Visual focus illustrations give a conceptual overview that relates
structure to function.
The questions at the end of the chapter are of both the
essay and objective type. Studying the Concepts reviews the content of the chapter
and requires that students write out their answers. Testing Your Knowledge of
the Concepts includes multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, and true-false
questions. Understanding Key Terms lists the major terms in the chapter and
page references the term to where it is defined in the chapter.
Revised Chapters
Every chapter in Human Biology has been revised or is
new. The systems chapters have been fine-tuned and the illustrations in these
chapters have been improved to better present the concepts. Students should
have no difficulty in following the text, understanding the concepts, and applying
them to their everyday lives.
Part VII of the text contains new chapters. Students learn
best when the content applies to themselves, and these chapters are faithful
to this educational maxim. Chapter 23 is now entitled "Human Evolution."
This unique chapter teaches the principles of evolution, while at the same time
reviewing human evolution from the origin of the first cell(s) to the rise of
modern humans. Chapter 24, which is called "Ecosystems and Human Interferences"
introduces the basics of ecology and shows how human activities have altered
biogeochemical cycles to our own detriment. Chapter 25 is a new chapter entitled
"Conservation of Biodiversity." We all need to be aware that other living things
are valuable to the human species and to recognize that our activities threaten
their very existence. In preserving other species we are ultimately preserving
our own species.
Focus Readings
Health and ecological concerns are carried through the text
by Health Focus readings, which help students cope with common health problems,
and Ecology Focus readings, which draw attention to a particular environmental
problem.
As in the previous edition, students are asked to apply
the concepts to the many and varied perplexing bioethical issues that face us
every day. In this edition, each bioethical issue is featured in a Bioethical
Focus box which asks students to develop a point of view by answering a series
of questions on such topics as genetic disease testing, modern reproductive
technologies, human cloning, AIDS vaccine trials, animal rights, and fetal research.
The Online Learning Center will help students fine-tune their opinion with these
activities:
Taking Sides. Students answer a series of questions
and their answers are tallied so that their original position is revealed.
Further Debate. Students are directed to read articles
on both sides of the issue.
Explain Your Position. Students are asked to defend
their position in writing. They can e-mail their essay to their professor.
Homeostasis
This edition of Human Biology again places an emphasis on homeostasis.
An icons calls attention to those portions of each chapter that discuss homeostasis.The
chapter entitled "Organization and Regulation of Body Systems" discusses the
principles of homeostasis and the contributions of the various systems to keeping
the internal environment relatively constant. Well-designed illustrations, especially
in the endocrine chapter, show how negative feedback control is essential to
homeostasis. The Human Systems Work Together box in each systems chapter describes
how that organ system works with other systems to achieve homeostasis.
Applications
Each chapter begins with a short story that applies chapter
material to real-life situations. The readings stress applications and so does
the running text material. This edition features expanded treatment of such
topics as eating disorders, allergies, pulmonary disorders, hepatitis infections,
modern reproductive technologies, the human genome project, and gene therapy.
Other topics such as the cloning of humans and xenotransplantation are also
included.
Technology
There are many resources that students can utilize in order to understand the
content of this textbook. In addition to the end of the chapter questions and
printed study guide, the Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/maderhuman7
contains readings, quizzes, animations, and other activities to help students
master the concepts. New to this edition there is more integration between text
material and technology. For example, Bioethical Focus boxes and Human Systems
Work Together boxes have an associated online exercise that helps students make
better use of these stimulating features.
Also, new to this edition, each chapter ends with an
e-Learning Connection page. This page organizes the relevant technological material
by major sections, helping to create a stronger association between available
study activities and text material. Because this design is mimicked on the Online
Learning Center the student can now easily find the appropriate learning experience.
A complete explanation of the technology package available
with this textbook for students and instructors, is explained fully on pages
xvi through xx of the preface.
Acknowledgments
To produce a text requires a concerted effort by many and it is a pleasure
to thank everyone who made this edition of Human Biology so special. My editor
Patrick Reidy and my developmental editor Anne Melde fulfilled every expectation.
They planned well and supplied creativity, advice, and support whenever it was
needed.
Jayne Klein, the project manager, although new to the book
team, stepped right in and made the project move along smoothly. Kennie Harris
did a superb job as the copy editor; Lori Hancock and Connie Mueller found just
the right photographs. Again, Wayne Harms developed a design that is both beautiful
and useful to students.
In my office Jo Hebert has consistently provided support
and was just as diligent working on this edition as the others. I also want
to take this opportunity to thank my husband and children for their continual
patience and encouragement.
The Reviewers
Many instructors have contributed not only to this edition
of Human Biology but also to previous editions. I am extremely thankful to each
one, for they have all worked diligently to remain true to our calling to provide
a product that will be the most useful to our students.
It is appropriate to acknowledge the help of the following

Part VII contains new chapters. "Human Evolution" traces human evolution from
the origin of cell(s) to the evolution of modern humans. This unique chapter
presents the principles of evolution, while at the same time reviewing human
evolution. "Ecosystems and Human Interferences" presents the principles of ecology
and shows how human activities disrupt biogeochemical cycles, leading to untoward
effects including pollution. "Conservation of Biodiversity" explores the current
biodiversity crisis and shows how the loss of so many species can be detrimental
to humankind.
Technology aids are organized according to the major sections on the e-Learning
Connection page found at the end of each chapter. Students can easily determine
the available resources to help explain difficult concepts. The same design
is utilized for the Online Learning Center, so that students can quickly find
an activity of interest. Other activities help students make full use of the
Bioethical Focus boxes and Human Systems Work Together boxes.
Relevancy of the text is enhanced due to the inclusion of such topics as sexually
transmitted diseases, eating disorders, allergies, pulmonary disorders, hepatitis
infections, xenotransplantation, modern reproductive technologies, human cloning,
the human genome project, and gene therapy to treat cancer.
Health Focus and Ecology Focus readings support the two major themes of the
text; the study of human anatomy and physiology and the role of humans in the
biosphere. A new Bioethical Focus box found throughout the text introduces students
to many of the bioethical questions that face us every day. Challenging questions
are provided that can be used as a basis for class discussion. The Online Learning
Center allows students to further explore these issues by taking a quiz, reading
articles, and writing an essay explaining their point of view.
The vibrant art program adds vitality to illustrations and enhances the appeal
of the text. Micrographs are integrated into illustrations and provide realism.
Visual focus illustrations give a pictorial overview of key topics. Color coding
is used both for biological molecules and for human tissues and organs.
Homeostasis is again emphasized in this edition. An icons calls attention to
those portions of the text that discuss homeostasis. Each systems chapter has
a major section that discusses how that system works with other systems of the
body to achieve homeostasis. This section is supported by a Human Systems Work
Together box, which also shows how that organ system works with the other systems
making homeostasis possible.
The learning System
Each chapter in Human Biology is constructed of basic features that serve as
the pedagogical framework for the chapter. Before you begin reading the text,
spend a little time looking over these pages. They provide a quick guide to
the learning tools found throughout the text that have been designed to enhance
your understanding of biology.
Chapter Concepts
The chapter begins with an integrated outline that numbers the major sections
of the chapter and lists the concepts that support each section.
Homeostasis Icon
Human Biology emphasizes homeostasis through Working Together boxes, separate
discussion in each human system chapter, and through the use of an icons. The
homeostasis icon has been placed adjacent to text material that discusses homeostasis.
Internal Summary Statements
Internal summaries stress the chapter's key concepts. These appear at the ends
of major sections and help focus students' study efforts on the most important
concepts.
Summarizing the Concepts
The numbered concepts, introduced on the chapter-opening page and explained
in the body of the chapter, form the basis for the summary. This repetition
helps reinforce key concepts for the student. Studying the Concepts
This page-referenced question set reviews the concepts presented in the chapter.
Understanding Key Terms
Key terms are listed with page references that indicate where the term is defined
in the chapter. Testing Your Knowledge of the Concepts
This section consists of objective questions that test the student's ability
to answer recall-based questions. Answers to these questions are given in Appendix
A.
Integrated Technology for students
Technology has become an increasingly potent force in teaching and learning. For
that reason the seventh edition of Human Biology puts an even greater emphasis
on technology by integrating it more fully with text material. Students can access
the material described on these pages by going to www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/maderhuman7.
Bioethical Focus Boxes
The popular Bioethical Focus boxes introduced in the sixth edition have now
been expanded into a full page feature. To help students further explore the
complicated issues discussed in the Bioethical Focus boxes, an online feature
called Looking at Both Sides has been added. Students go to the Online Learning
Center where they find the following activities:
Taking Sides is a short quiz that helps students decide which side of the
issue they identify with at the outset.
Further Debate facilitates the students' continued investigation of the issue
by providing websites for further study. Students are asked questions that
help them analyze the information and arguments provided.
Explain Your Position requires that students express and defend their position
in writing. Responses can be e-mailed to the instructor if he or she wishes.Human
Systems Work Together Boxes
These helpful boxes were developed to illustrate for students how the systems
in their own bodies are working together to achieve homeostasis. An online component
has been developed to further emphasize this vital concept:
Systems Scramble is a matching exercise based on the Human Systems Work Together
box.
Watch It Happen shows the student an animation of a process occurring in the
highlighted system.
Systems Review follows up the animation with questions that require students
to integrate what they have learned about the body systems.
e-Learning Connection
These pages, found at the end of each chapter, tie technology directly to the
major sections found within the chapter. Students are shown which McGraw-Hill
study aids are available on the Online Learning Center to help them understand
the concepts in each section. An icon tells the student at a glance what type
of resource is being cited.
Online Learning Center
The e-Learning Connection page is duplicated on the Online Learning Center where
it serves as navigation for the online chapter content. The student need only
click on a link to go to the resource that is listed. This helps students find
the information they need more quickly, increasing the effectiveness of their
study time. Go to www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/maderhuman7
to see the many resources available for students on the Human Biology Online Learning
Center.
Icons
These icons are used on the e-Learning Connection page and the Online Learning
Center to denote types of content.
ActivityActivities are hands-on exercises that engage students in a learning
experience.
AnimationAnimations help students visualize how a process occurs.
Essential StudyModules combine text screens and Partner Moduleactivities
to help students master difficult concepts.
ReadingReadings give students the opportunity to explore a topic further.
QuizQuizzes allow students to test themselves on the topics presented
in the chapter.
Technology for the instructor
Increasingly, instructors are demanding visual resources and the versatility
to use them according to their needs. By adopting Human Biology for use in their
course, instructors gain access to technological resources that can revolutionize
the way information is presented to their students.

Student Study Guide
To ensure close coordination with the text, Dr. Sylvia S. Mader has written
the Student Study Guide that accompanies the text. Each text chapter has a corresponding
study guide chapter that includes a listing of objectives, study questions,
and a chapter test. Answers to the study questions and the chapter tests are
provided to give students immediate feedback.
The concepts in the study guide are the same as those in the text, and
the questions in the study guide are sequenced according to these concepts.
Instructors who make their choice of concepts known to the students can thereby
direct student learning in an efficient manner. Students who make use of the
Student Study Guide should find that performance increases dramatically.
Laboratory Manual
Dr. Mader has also written the Laboratory Manual to accompany Human Biology.
With few exceptions, each chapter in the text has an accompanying laboratory
exercise in the manual (some chapters have more than one accompanying exercise).
