  ●    Full coverage of A&P as offered in any university-level basic course but presented in an easily digestible manner 
  ●    Engaging, knowledge-rich exploration of the body’s structures and features  
  ●    An overview, then an in-depth look, into each of the body’s main biological systems and the specific parts that make up each system 
  ●    Detailed examination of the human body’s composition, from the cellular to the tissue level 
  ●    A fascinating yet pragmatic investigation of the numerous processes involved in maintaining body functions  
  ●    Easy-to-understand explanations supported by clear illustrations and graphs 
  ●    Chapter summaries and review questions to help you retain and recall knowledge  
  ●    An extensive understanding of the marvel that is the human body, from an academic, medical, and health care perspective 
  There’s a prevailing notion that only learners with sharp memorization skills can excel in Anatomy and Physiology. 
  While a strong memory is undeniably important, it’s far from being a guarantee for long-term learning and success in studying.  
  To really learn the intricacies of human anatomy and physiology, it’s best to strive for complete understanding, not just memorization! 
  When top-level comprehension is present, memorization of even the most complex terminologies becomes much easier. 
  With this book, you won’t just recall important concepts — you’ll fully absorb and understand what you’re learning.

  Fluoride: Drinking Ourselves to...

  Fluoride is more toxic than lead, yet it is routinely added to the drinking water of Ireland and Britain. In Fluoride: Drinking Ourselves to Death?, Barry Groves presents an array of convincing and persuasive arguments that dismantle the commonly held belief that the fluoridation of water is beneficial to our health.
  
  The fluoridation of water has been used for the prevention of tooth decay for over fifty years. During this time little research has been done to ascertain whether it works. The chemicals used are classified as toxic industrial waste, yet no study has ever been conducted into their safety for human consumption.
  
  At the same time, research has uncovered serious side effects including death, cancer, skeletal fluorosis, osteoporosis, dementia, lowered IQ, kidney damage and even increased dental decay. Fluoride is only slightly less toxic than arsenic and all the evidence points incontrovertibly to the harm caused by fluoride to human, plant and animal life. Yet it is routinely added to the drinking water of five million people in Britain and more than two and a half million people in Ireland.
  
  Strongly opposed throughout the world, water fluoridation is far less widely accepted than its proponents would have us believe. Only two percent of the people of Western Europe have their water fluoridated — almost all of them within Britain and Ireland. Despite this, dental organisations lobby governments to compel everyone to ingest fluoride, whether they want it or not and without regard to possible harm.
  
  The vast majority of dentists maintain that the fluoridation of water is not debatable. In this book, Barry Groves assembles evidence to refute every single argument made by the dental establishment in favour of fluoridation. This carefully researched and persuasively written book demonstrates that the case for fluoridation of water is based on poor science and dogmatic ignorance rather than on any scientifically proven benefit to public health. His conclusions are truly alarming for everyone concerned with their own health, that of their families and of society in general.

  The Bomb - A New History

  A former Los Alamos weapons designer shares “an indispensable guide to the science and strategy of nuclear weapons” (Booklist). 
   
  From his years at Los Alamos and the Nevada Test Site to his meetings with nuclear arms experts in Moscow, former weapons designer Stephen M. Younger has witnessed firsthand the making of nuclear policy. With a deep understanding of both the technology and the politics behind nuclear weapons, he guides us from the Manhattan Project to the Cold War and into the present day, illuminating how nuclear weapons fit into our globalized, war-plagued world.  
   
  With startling clarity, Younger reveals how weapons work, the myths and realities of what happens after a nuclear explosion, and how our nuclear policy evolved to what it is today. In an era when rogue nations like North Korean and Iran strive to create their own precarious weapons programs, Younger provides much-needed background and insight for students, policy makers, and readers who wish to better understand the important issues involving nuclear weapons and national security. 
   
  “Younger has provided an insightful guide, especially for the general reader, into today’s array of nuclear powers and their capabilities.” —James Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy

  Babylon's Ark - The Incredible...

  When the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq, he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals.Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, Anthony defended the zoo, bartered for food on war-torn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies. Babylon's Ark chronicles Anthony's hair-raising efforts to save a pride of Saddam's lions, close a deplorable black-market zoo, run ostriches through shoot-to-kill checkpoints, and rescue the dictator's personal herd of Thoroughbred Arabian horses.
