Biology: Science for Life

Compelling and relatable stories engage students in learning biology. Colleen Belk and Virginia Borden Maier have helped students understand biology for more than twenty years in the classroom and over ten years with their popular text, Biology: Science for Life. The thoroughly revised Fifth Edition engages students with new storylines that explore high-interest topics such as binge drinking, pseudoscience, and study drugs. The book and MasteringBiology resources also help students develop scientific skills using new Working With Data figure legend questions and addresses common misconceptions with Sounds Right, But Is It? discussions in each chapter. This edition also offers a wealth of new "Flipped Classroom" activities and other resources to help professors enliven their classes and to help students assess their understanding of biology outside of class. -- Provided by publisher.
