A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Third Edition of Biology: Science for Life continues to draw students into biology through engaging stories that make difficult topics more accessible and understandable.

  

Colleen Belk and Virginia Borden strive to make teaching and learning biology a better experience from both sides of the desk. The authors draw from their teaching experiences to create a text with a flowing narrative and innovative features that require students to become more active participants in their learning. Each chapter presents the material through a story that draws from real life examples, making the reading more engaging and accessible to today’s students. These stories strive to demystify topics found in biology. 

 

The Third Edition of this book features a completely re-designed art program and uses the authors’ teaching experiences to create student-centered features such as the new Savvy Reader, Visualize This, and Stop and Stretch to motivate and encourage student learning. The new A Closer Look allows instructors the opportunity to expand on certain important biological topics.

 

For instructors who would like to cover Animal Structure and Function and Plant Biology, an alternate edition of this book, Biology: Science for Life with Physiology, is also available.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For one-semester courses in Introductory Biology, for non-major biology students.

Biology: Science for Life strives to achieve scientific literacy by placing biology in context of students' daily lives. Each chapter is structured around interesting stories, which then drive the discussion of the science. In telling a story, one that draws upon students' life experiences, it motivates students to become active participants in the learning process. Students are inspired to learn the science as a way of understanding the complete story.

“Because science, told as a story, can intrigue and inform the non-scientific minds among us, it has the potential to bridge the two cultures into which civilization is split―the sciences and the humanities. For educators, stories are an exciting way to draw young minds into the scientific culture.” E.O. Wilson
