"Ken Saladin's penchant for writing began early. For his 10th-grade biology class, he wrote a 318-page monograph on hydras with 53 original India ink drawings and 10 original photomicrographs. We at McGraw-Hill think of this as Ken's "first book." At a young age, Ken already was developing his technical writing style, research habits, and illustration skills. Ken served as an A&P textbook reviewer and testbank writer for several years and then embarked on his first book for McGraw-Hill in 1993.

Saladin combines this humanistic perspective with vibrant photos and art to convey the beauty and excitement of the subject to beginning students"--
