A fresh voice strengthens a visually compelling, classic human anatomy text.
Revered for its groundbreaking, atlas-style format, detailed illustrations, and exceptionally clear photographs, Human Anatomy has long been known for its quality and sophistication, as well as its scope and level of coverage. Accomplished author and award-winning educator Judi Nath joins the writing team, bringing a fresh voice, enhanced accuracy, and a clear, engaging writing style to the 9th Edition.
The new edition builds upon the legacy of previous editions and includes expanded clinical content to help students focus on the types of diseases and injuries they are likely to encounter in their future careers; visually stunning Spotlight Figures in every chapter to guide students through complex topics; and new features that focus students on the key point in each section and use simple analogies and memory devices to help students remember facts and concepts.

Dr. Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. In addition to professional publications that include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles, he is the lead author of ten undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy. Dr. Martini is currently affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa and has a long-standing bond with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. He has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for over 24 years and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is now a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2005–2007. Dr. Martini is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.
Robert B. Tallitsch
Dr. Tallitsch received his Ph.D. in physiology with an anatomy minor from the University of Wisconsin–Madison at the ripe old age of 24. Dr. Tallitsch has been on the biology faculty at Augustana College (Illinois) since 1975. His teaching responsibilities include Human Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Histology, and Cadaver Dissection. He is also a member of the Asian Studies faculty at Augustana College, teaching a course in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. Tallitsch has been designated as one of the “unofficial teachers of the year” by the graduating seniors at Augustana 19 out of the last 20 years. Dr. Tallitsch is a member of the American Association of Anatomists, where he serves as a Career Development Mentor; the American Association of Clinical Anatomists; and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. Tallitsch currently serves as a reviewer for the Problem-Based Learning Clearinghouse and has served as a visiting faculty member at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology (Beijing, PRC), the Foreign Languages Faculty at Central China Normal University (Wuhan, PRC), and in the Biology Department at Central China Normal University (Wuhan, PRC).
Judi L. Nath
Dr. Judi Nath is a biology professor and the writer-in-residence at Lourdes University, where she teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Primary courses include anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, medical terminology, and science writing. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Bowling Green State University, which included study abroad at the University of Salzburg in Austria. Her doctoral work focused on autoimmunity, and she completed her Ph.D. from the University of Toledo. Dr. Nath is devoted to her students and strives to convey the intricacies of science in captivating ways that are meaningful, interactive, and exciting. She has won the Faculty Excellence Award―an accolade recognizing effective teaching, scholarship, and community service―multiple times and in 2013 was named as an Ohio Memorable Educator. She is active in many professional organizations, notably the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), where she has served several terms on the board of directors. Dr. Nath is a coauthor of Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Visual Anatomy & Physiology, Visual Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, and Anatomy & Physiology (published by Pearson); and she is the sole author of Using Medical Terminology and Stedman’s Medical Terminology (published by Wolters Kluwer). Her favorite charities are those that have significantly affected her life, including the local Humane Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the ALS Association. In 2015, she and her husband established the Nath Science Scholarship at Lourdes University to assist students pursuing science-based careers. When not working, days are filled with family life, bicycling, and hanging with the dogs.
