About the Book

Berne & Levy Physiology by Bruce M. Koeppen and Bruce A. Stanton has long been respected for its scientifically rigorous approach — one that leads students to a genuinely in-depth understanding of the body's dynamic processes rather than a surface-level summary. Now in its eighth edition, the book continues a tradition of excellence that has made it a standard reference in medical physiology education for decades, and the current edition has been selected for the 2026 Doody's Core Titles list as an Essential Purchase in Physiology.

The text pairs necessary scientific detail with concise, readable explanation, striking a deliberate balance that has earned it a reputation as the "just right" mid-size physiology text: comprehensive enough for a strong foundation, yet focused enough to avoid overwhelming the reader. Physiology is presented through a clear, organ system-based approach, describing the mechanisms that control and regulate bodily function across the nervous system, muscles, and the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, and reproductive systems, with integrated coverage of biophysics woven throughout. Key experimental observations and examples are used to build a rich, evidence-grounded understanding of the body's dynamic processes, supported by full-color design and artwork that enhances comprehension of every concept. This edition brings the additional expertise of co-editors Julianne M. Hall and Agnieszka Swiatecka-Urban, helping keep the content current while preserving the scientific rigor the book has long been known for.
