This text provides a fresh, accessible introduction to human metabolism that shows how the physiological actions of selected organs can be explained by their particular biochemical processes.  Focusing on metabolic integration, rather than pathways, this book opens with three introductory chapters that explore the principles of metabolism and its control before moving onto ‘themed’ chapters that investigate liver, communication systems (endocrine and neurological), blood and vascular system, muscle and adipose tissue and renal biochemistry. Targeted at non-biochemistry majors who need to get to grips with key biochemical concepts and ideas, this textbook is an essential guide for all undergraduate biomedical science, sports science, nutrition and other allied health students. Key features: A fresh, accessible primer that adopts a unique, organ-system based approach to human metabolism.Assumes only a basic understanding of chemistry.Chapters are arranged specifically to enable readers to grasp key concepts and to aid understanding.Some chapters include ‘Case Notes, illustrating key aspects of metabolism in cells, tissues and organs.

This textbook provides a unique, pocket-sized, self-directed study guide to fluid, electrolyte and acid base homeostasis for undergraduate biomedical science, pharmacology, medical and allied health students. It details the chemical (mostly ionic) composition of body fluids, explains how abnormalities arise, what laboratory tests  can be used to identify and analyze the cause of these disorders and shows how normality can be achieved to maintain health.

'"Some of you have hearts that are wondering if the Cartographer really cares." A shiver ran down Arc's spine ... How could this man be reading his thoughts?'Arcos is a young artist who travels to the mountainous land of Aratae'Tor for the annual Festival to honour the Cartographer who mapped out the world. But after an earthquake left his mother unable to walk, he secretly questions whether the Cartographer really loves him and his family.Arcos is encouraged to look for the Misaro'Deio, the Cartographer's Servant, who the old prophecies say is coming soon and will turn people's hearts back to the Cartographer. He then meets Ishua who seems to know everything about him. Could this be the Misaro'Deio? Will he change Arcos's mind about the Cartographer? And will his life ever be the same again?
