Eric Widmaier (Boston University), Hershel Raff (Medical College of Wisconsin), and Kevin Strang (University of Wisconsin) have taken on the challenge of maintaining the strengths and reputation of Vander's Human Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function. Moving beyond the listing of mere facts, it stresses the causal chains of events that constitute the mechanisms of body function. The fundamental purpose of this textbook is to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates, regardless of academic background or field of study. Vander's Human Physiology, fifteenth edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today's instructors and students. The new edition offers an integrated package of textual and digital material to help deliver basic and clinical content, real-life applications, and educational technologies to students of physiology. With the 15th edition of Vander's Human Physiology, all these pieces come together to facilitate learning and enthusiasm for understanding the mechanisms of body function.

La seconda edizione italiana del testo Vander Fisiologia, basata sulla XIV edizione inglese, si caratterizza per la felice coesistenza di due caratteristiche raramente presenti entrambe in un unico trattato: la sintesi e la completezza. Un'esposizione ricca, ben organizzata, in cui i concetti complessi sono presentati con semplicità e chiarezza, anche grazie a una suddivisione dei contenuti chiara e strutturata che consente al lettore di riconoscere immediatamente gli argomenti chiave. Il testo presenta la fisiologia in un'ottica integrata: è corredato infatti da numerosi cenni di fisiopatologia e da riferimenti all'anatomia che precedono la descrizione degli aspetti funzionali. Ogni capitolo si conclude con la presentazione di un caso clinico relativo agli argomenti trattati, a dimostrazione di quanto sia importante conoscere i principi della fisiologia per lo studio della fisiopatologia. Da segnalare i numerosi supporti dedicati alla verifica autonoma dell'apprendimento: al termine di ogni sezione sono presenti domande di ripasso sugli argomenti trattati, mentre alla fine di ogni capitolo si trovano numerosi test di autovalutazione e domande di ragionamento. Inoltre, tutti i capitoli sono arricchiti da domande di fisiologia, più strutturate, la cui risposta richiede un'efficace comprensione degli argomenti affrontati e una buona capacità di integrazione degli stessi.

Il testo affronta tutti gli argomenti per la comprensione della Fisiologia. Analizza i principi molecolari e cellulari alla base delle funzioni del corpo umano. Schemi a blocco, diagrammi, figure e tabelle facilitano la comprensione degli argomenti trattati.

La caratteristica principale di Fisiologia Medica di Boron è la moderna trattazione della fisiologia umana incentrata sulla biologia cellulare e molecolare, con diversi capitoli introduttivi generali su questi argomenti. Questa impostazione viene mantenuta in tutti i capitoli ed è una chiave esplicativa particolarmente efficace per le parti di fisiologia renale, gastrointestinale, endocrina e sul controllo della fisiologia cardiovascolare. La ricca iconografia che accompagna il testo ha uno stile innovativo che presta particolare attenzione alla funzione didattica delle immagini. Numerosi box clinici con riferimenti a patologie e disturbi aiutano a comprendere l'implicazione di importanti processi fisiologici nella pratica clinica. Alcuni argomenti del sistema endocrino (insulina come fattore di crescita) e della neurofisiologia (la corteccia cerebrale, il movimento, i sistemi sensitivi e sensoriali, le funzioni nervose superiori) sono stati implementati dai curatori del testo in modo che rispondano ai temi affrontati nei programmi italiani.
