Synopsis

Experience the story of biological understanding. Like any good tale, the excitement is in how the story unfolds-in the process of discovering how the situation is resolved, in the twists and turns of the plot, and in the personalities of its main characters. The same holds true for biology. That's why Nancy Pruitt and Larry Underwood's new Third Edition of BioInquiry is specifically designed to engage students in the story of biological understanding. This NSF-sponsored text and media package takes a discovery approach in which students learn about biology in the same timeline in which scientists have come to understand biology. From the prepublication reviews: "The [website] for the student, in its latest inception, is quite brilliant." -Karen Ocorr, University of Michigan "I very much liked that the book emphasized the process of science..." -John Peters, College of Charleston "The authors use evolution as a unifying theme in the book. This is wonderful." -Bram Middeldorp, Minneapolis Community and Technical College

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Welcome to the fascinating world of biology. Learning about living things is like piecing together a complex puzzle. BioInquiry: Making Connections in Biology, a National Science Foundation–supported project (DUE #97–52454), was designed to help you assemble these pieces, to see their connections, and to reveal the beautiful and compelling pictures they create. The text, CD, and web site were developed together from the start to create an engaging, active learning experience. You′ll take a virtual tour of the cell, travel with Darwin to the Galápagos Islands, transcribe DNA, perform powerful experiments, and link to the latest biological research on web sites around the world. You′ll experience for yourself the profound biological discoveries that forever changed the way we think about life. Enjoy your explorations!
