Inhaltsangabe

"Basic Concepts in Biology" supplies a 650 page, introductory issues-oriented approach with enormous instructional power. This title has content identical to Starr's longer "Biology, Concepts and Applications, Sixth Edition" except for the omission of plant and animal physiology. The "Impacts, Issues" and "How Would You Vote?" features new to this edition make biology come alive. An "Impacts, Issues" case study opens each chapter focusing on a biology-related societal issue. Short films that expand on the issue are on the free Student CD. Each chapter's "How Would You Vote?" asks students to consider biology-related news, apply knowledge, cast a vote on the web and see voting tallies.The access codes that accompany all new copies provide online access to: BiologyNow, a learning tool that helps students assess their unique study needs through pretests, post-test and personalized learning plans; InfoTrac, a library of full text articles; vMentor, a live tutoring service; and "How Do I Prepare," a feature that allows students to review basic math, chemistry, and other skills that will help them more easily master introductory biology. And now with an MP3 download of this title, you don't have to lose prep time during a long commute - any MP3 player lets you or your students listen and review the text at the gym, in the library, at the office - anywhere! Starr is the most successful author in non-majors biology because of her clear and engaging writing, trend-setting art, and unparalleled student and instructor media.
