Publisher's Synopsis
From the groundbreaking partnership of W. H. Freeman and "Scientific American" comes this one-of-a-kind introduction to the science of biology and its impact on the way we live. In Biology "for a Changing World," two experienced educators and a science journalist explore the core ideas of biology through a series of chapters written and illustrated in the style of a "Scientific American" article. Chapters don't just feature compelling stories of real people--each chapter is a newsworthy story that serves as a context for covering the standard curriculum for the non-majors biology course. Updated throughout, the new edition offers new stories, additional physiology chapters, a new Electronic Teachers' Edition, and new pedagogy.
