The book does not just provide the basic coverage of topics for health professions student. Its approach is one of assuming that the reader may not be literate in physics and chemistry. It covers all physical science topics commonly found in pre-registration nursing courses and each chapter includes study questions. Concepts such as energy, chemical bonding, forces and the structure of matter are carefully introduced. Following the development of these concepts, the book presents the knowledge that is relevant to human body function and health. The book's content has been thoughtfully constructed to reflect what it would be useful to know if the reader is involved professionally with trying to keep people healthy or with helping ill and injured people regain their health. Its primary focus is the human body, and the insights of the physical sciences have been presented from this point of view. Relevant physics and chemistry are illustrated with examples from the human body and with an orientation towards its healthy maintenance.
