Klabunde pens 2nd edition of cardiovascular physiology textbook
The world was just waking up to the possibilities of the World Wide Web in 1998 when Richard E. Klabunde, Ph.D., began putting course materials online for his students.
Those initial postings turned into www.cvphysiology.com, a unique, 300-page teaching website designed and launched by Klabunde himself the next year. The site was so successful that publisher Lippincott Williams and Wilkins approached him about writing a textbook based on it. The book, Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts, published in 2004, was officially integrated into the curricula of 23 institutions and sold more than 12,000 copies. In September, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins released a second edition of the book, also by Klabunde. Read more
