Synopsis

This innovative text helps students make the connections among the fields of biology, the interdisciplinary nature of today's biology, and the intimate connections between biological and social issues. Biology Today: An Issues Approach instills in students the feeling that biology is both interesting and relevant to their lives, and that a further understanding of biology can be rewarding rather than burdensome. Additionally, the text builds an excellent foundation for upper-level courses by teaching all the basics necessary for understanding advanced material while fostering the understanding of biology as a process of discovery.
