This monograph, written primarily for entry-level college students desiring a career in medical science, is now available online. It explains in simple language the few chemistry principles that are actually used by physiology textbooks to explain how numerous systems of the body work.
Included is a detailed discussion of what that magical stuff called 'energy' really is, of why water is the most important chemical in the human body, of where nerves get their electricity, and of how oxygen flows into and carbon dioxide flows out of lungs at the same time. Readers need no prior knowledge of chemistry to fully understand the concepts presented. Only scientific words that are totally defined are included in the chapters.
Prominent scientists including Dr. Bruce Alberts, Editor-in-Chief of Science Magazine, worry that today's curricula and biology textbooks "make science seem like gibberish" [Science 388(7):1263, 2012]. To be comprehensive, major physiology textbook publishers exclude detail necessary for in-depth understanding of fundamental physiology processes. Yet it is common for physiology textbooks to be well over 1000 pages and to be too heavy to carry in a backpack.
Reece Biomedical Consulting LLC anticipates that students will find attractive smaller, easy to read textbooks that they can carry in a pocket or download to their phone or electronic tablet. "Physiology: Custom-Designed Chemistry" is also available as a Kindle e-book for those who prefer a digital format.
Bence Szabadkai, Medical Student, shared, "The purpose of this book is not to cram information in your head that you will never need, but rather to help you understand the fundamental building blocks of physiology."
John R. Minarcik, MD, stated, "This book is an essential companion to my 1,000 YouTube videos, seen 10 million times by 16,000 medical student subscribers, and my 4,000 registered Online Medical School Pathology Course Attendees!"
Iskandar Basal, Medical Student, shared, "This book is well written and it answers many important questions that are essential to understanding physiology."
The author, Margaret Thompson Reece, helps college students taking courses in anatomy and physiology figure out how to study this science in a way that they will achieve high grades on their exams and gain entry into the professional training programs they desire. Dr. Thompson Reece has a PhD in Physiology and is an alumnus of the University of California at Davis.
