Mastering A&P with Pearson eText -- Standalone Access Card -- for Human Anatomy & Physiology

The Pearson eText and Mastering have been updated to provide new author-written content that speaks directly to students, coaching them through complex concepts.

For courses in Anatomy & Physiology.

A distinctive learner-centered approach for the way today’s students learn

Human Anatomy & Physiology speaks to the way today’s diverse students learn and study, bringing A&P to life with student-friendly writing, just-in-time coaching, and rich author-created media. The distinctive learner-centered approach uses art to guide and tutor students through complex A&P topics – one-concept-at-a-time before bringing the distinct parts together into one summarizing Big Picture figure. Students get coaching at the very moment they need help, starting with the new Module 1.1 How To Succeed in Your Anatomy & Physiology Course. Students also get opportunities to practice and develop critical-thinking skills through questions about case studies and real-world scenarios. 

Personalize learning with Mastering A&P 

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Built for, and directly tied to the text, Mastering A&P enables an extension of learning, allowing students a platform to practice and learn, and then apply outside of the classroom.

If purchasing or renting from companies other than Pearson, the access codes for the Mastering platform may not be included, may be incorrect, or may be previously redeemed. Check with the seller before completing your purchase.

Erin Amerman teaches anatomy and physiology at Florida State College at Jacksonville; she has been involved in anatomy and physiology education for more than 17 years as an author and professor. She received a B.S. in cellular and molecular biology from the University of West Florida and a doctorate in podiatric medicine from Des Moines University. She is also the author of the best-selling Exploring Anatomy and Physiology in the Laboratory, now in its third edition, with Morton Publishing Company. Erin is deeply committed to helping her students succeed in the A&P course and to generating curiosity and excitement about the material and its application in their future health careers. She is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and enjoys attending the annual HAPS conferences, especially when they are in locations that have ample hiking opportunities and many different species of snake.

When not writing or teaching, Erin enjoys spending time with her family and her menagerie of rescued cats, dogs, cows, snakes, fish, and a turtle. She also practices karate and kobudo, enjoys learning new languages, and loves photographing the local wildlife around her home in rural northern Florida. She can often be found hiking around the prairie with a camera and snake hook in hand.
