Information

Welcome! This book began as a class project in July 2006 with a small class of pre-nursing students. We knew nothing about how to create or edit a Wikibook, but we decided to do it anyway. We received a lot of help from the active Wikibooks community, and through the chaos a book emerged! I didn't teach physiology again until spring 2007, when we used this book as our textbook and improved upon it chapter by chapter. We are happy with our accomplishments, but the book could still be much improved. We need YOUR help to make this the best introductory physiology textbook available, not simply the best free physiology textbook. No other classrooms have adopted this book or used it significantly as far as I know. If you do use it or are considering using it, please send me a message, and we can discuss future directions for the book. Of course, even the casual reader should take the liberty of editing boldly and bravely. Here is a list of suggested ways to contribute if you are looking for a place to start. If you are new to editing Wikis, then please register on Wikibooks, and read through this editing help page. Thanks for coming--I hope you find this a useful resource and that you actively share your knowledge of human physiology with the world! Kevin 18:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
