Reference

We introduce a new issues-oriented approach with engages students in current, motivating biological topics; a built-in cross-referencing system for key topics; and, most importantly, time-saving media resources for instructors.

Show students how biology matters - Opening each chapter with engaging essays on hot issues and related online voting, the text highlights the connections between biology and real-life.

Online exercises promote critical thinking about issues students will face as consumers, parents and citizens.

Link concepts from chapter to chapter - Students often have a difficult time with this, so the authors created a "linking" tool.

A list at the start of each chapter reminds students of related topics that were explained earlier.

Within chapters, a key icon identifies cross-references to relevant sections in earlier chapters.
