Summary

This loose-leaf, three-hole punched version of the textbook gives students the flexibility to take only what they need to class and add their own notes–all at an affordable price.

For non-majors biology courses.

 

Engage students in science with stories that relate to their lives

 

Biology: Science for Life weaves a compelling storyline throughout each chapter to grab student attention through the exploration of high-interest topics such as genetic testing,  global warming, and the Zika virus. The authors return to the storyline again and again, using it as the basis on which they introduce the biological concepts behind each story.

 

In the 6th Edition, new active learning features and author-created resources help instructors implement the storyline approach in their course. The Big Question is a new feature that helps students learn how to use data to determine what science can answer while developing their ability to critically evaluate information.
