This much-anticipated collection provides dozens of class-tested physiology laboratory exercises that were contributed by several lab instructors from across the country. In addition to “mixing and matching” any combination of exercises from the database, professors can also publish their own lab exercises (using illustrations they can select and use at no additional charge from PCP's Lab Art Library), along with their own course-specific notes, syllabi, worksheets, and other handouts.

  • A wide assortment of lab exercises from which to choose, including the complete contents of the Integrate database of all anatomy and physiology laboratory manuals published by Benjamin Cummings. More lab exercises will be added over time.
  • Accessibly formatted exercises include an initial information page with subject matter, key terms, time and equipment required, level of difficulty, etc. A pre-test is next for the student to re-cap key concepts, followed by specified objectives and fully illustrated instructions for conducting the exercise. The collection also includes Skillbuilding Exercises designed to review concepts such as scientific research, scientific writing, safety in the laboratory, animal care, and more.
  • Flexible production and ordering options allow instructors to choose the format and organization of their lab manual, and they can revise and update their lab manual every semester! PCP's own extensive art library provides a wide selection of permission-free illustrations that instructors can use for their self-authored lab exercises (www.labartlibrary.com).
  • Printing turnaround varies by type of project. Simple “mix-and-match” lab manuals with labs selected from the database and no self-authored labs take 4-6 weeks to compile, print and ship. Lab manuals involving professors' own original labs, with or without illustrations from the Lab Art Library, take 8-12 weeks based on complexity of the content and professors' requested images and book features.
  • Customized features and production options include: custom cover and title page (with instructor's name, school, department, course name, and course number), custom table of contents with sequential numbering for all labs, five different binding options (perfect binding, perforated paper, three-hole punch, loose-leaf, spiral binding).
  • Reasonable pricing and returns policy remains $6.00 base plus $.09 per page, plus $8.00 for optional color inserts (as available), plus special binding price, if applicable. Minimum order is 25 copies, minimum reorder is 10 copies. Returns policy of 10% on overstock books.
