Biology: The Dynamic Science, Volume 1, Units 1 & 2, Non-Media Edition

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Biology: The Dynamic Science is the first general biology text with an experimental approach that connects historical research, recent advances achieved with molecular tools, and a glimpse of the future through the eyes of prominent researchers working on key unanswered questions of the day. This comprehensive framework doesn't come at the expense of essential concepts. Rather, it provides a meaningful, realistic context for learning all of the core material that students must master in their first course. Written "from the ground up" with minimal jargon and crisp, straight forward explanations of the current state of biological knowledge, the text supports students as they learn the scientific process-and how to think as scientists do.

About the Author

Cecie Starr - For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of Biological concepts, include multiple editions of UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. While her original dream was to become an architect, instead of building houses, she now builds with care and attention to detail incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."
