About the Author
Stuart Ira Fox,
earned a Ph.D. in human
physiology from the Department of Physiology,
School of Medicine, at the University of Southern
California, after earning degrees at the University
of California at Los Angeles (UCLA); California State
University, Los Angeles; and UC Santa Barbara. He
has spent most of his professional life teaching at
Los Angeles City College; California State Univer-
sity, Northridge; and Pierce College, where he has
won numerous teaching awards, including several
Golden Apples. Stuart has authored thirty-six
editions of seven textbooks, which are used world-
wide and have been translated into several lan-
guages. When not engaged in professional activities,
he likes to hike, fly fish, and cross-country ski in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
o the memory of my mentors—Louis Stearns, Susan
Shimizu, Robert Lyon, Ed Jaffe, Russ Wisner, and others—
in the hopes that readers of this textbook will also find people
who help guide their journeys toward yet unimagined goals.
