Biology
by Stephen Nowicki"The 21st century will be the century of biological science, just as the 20th century was the century of physical science," predicts Professor Stephen Nowicki, an award-winning teacher at Duke University. Dr. Nowicki has adapted his acclaimed introductory biology course for The Teaching Company to bring you up to date on one of the most important fields of knowledge of our time and help you appreciate the marvelous diversity and complexity of life. You will obtain the background and guidance to explore in depth the fundamental principles of how living things work-principles such as evolution by natural selection, the cellular structure of organisms, the DNA theory of inheritance, and much more. This challenging course is organized around three major themes: "Information and Evolution," "Development and Homeostasis," and "Energy and Resources. " You will explore living systems at all levels, from biological molecules to global ecosystems. You will gain insight into pressing issues facing society, including genetic modification and cloning, stem-cell research, AIDS, the depletion of the rainforests, and global warming. You will discover mechanisms behind such intriguing phenomena as why children resemble their parents, why plants bend toward light, how memories are stored, why some birds have very long tails, and how life itself began on Earth. Above all, you will learn how to think about biology, so that in your day-to-day life you will understand the significance and complexities of news stories, medical issues, and public debates, not to mention what is going on in your own garden and in nature all around you.
Biology
by Sylvia S. MaderBiologyis a comprehensive introductory biology textbook that covers biology in a traditional order, from the structure and function of the cell to the organization of the biosphere. The book centers on the evolution and diversity of organisms. It’s no wonder that Sylvia Mader’sBiologycontinues to be a text that’s appreciated as much by teachers as it is by the students who use it. The tenth edition is the epitome of Mader’s expertise: Its concise, precise writing uses an economy of words to present the material as succinctly and clearly as possible, thereby enabling students to understand the concepts without necessarily asking the teacher to explain further.

Biology (4th Edition)
by Kenneth R. Miller Joseph S. LevineIn this textbook you will come to understand the nature of life as we know it today. You will also gain an appreciation of the scientific process that has resulted in the body of knowledge we know as biology.
Biology (5th Edition)
by Jane B. Reece Neil A. Campbell Lawrence G. MitchellThis fifth edition of Biology builds upon the earlier versions' dual goals: to help students construct a conceptual appreciation of life within the context of integrating themes and to inspire students to develop more positive and realistic impressions of science as a human activity. Those teaching values evolved in the classroom, and it is gratifying that the book's conceptual approach and emphasis on science as a process have had such widespread appeal for biology courses all over the world.
Biology (6th Edition)
by Linda R. Berg Diana W. Martin Eldra Pearl SolomonSolomon (University of South Florida) focuses on themes related to the transmission of biological information, the evolution of life, and the flow of energy through living systems, in this text featuring a student-oriented writing style, a color art program, and traditional learning aids. Chapters are presented in sections on the organization of life, energy transfer, genetics, evolution, diversity, plants, animals, and ecology. In this edition, ecological theory is interwoven with the scientific process. A CD-ROM with exercises and simulations is also new to this edition.

Biology (6th edition)
by Jane B. Reece Neil A. CampbellReflecting the changing landscape of the subject it surveys, this Sixth Edition of BIOLOGY is our most sweeping revision ever. But throughout the revision process, we have kept in mind the two core goals of all earlier editions: to explain the key con¬cepts of biology clearly and accurately within a context of unifying themes, and to help students develop positive and realistic impressions of science as a process of inquiry. These two teaching values evolved in the classroom, and we are obviously gratified that the book's dual emphases on concept-building and the process of science have appealed to the educators and students who have made BIOLOGY the most widely used college science textbook. But with this privilege of sharing biology with so many students comes the responsibility to continue improving the book to serve the biology community even better. Thus, throughout the entire planning and revision process, we visited dozens of campuses to listen to what students and their professors had to say about their biology courses and textbooks. These conversations with faculty and students informed the many improvements you'll find in this Sixth Edition.

Biology (9th Edition)
by Diana W. Martin Eldra Solomon Linda BergSolomon/Berg/Martin, BIOLOGY is often described as the best majors text for LEARNING biology. Working like a built-in study guide, the superbly integrated, inquiry-based learning system guides you through every chapter. Key concepts appear clearly at the beginning of each chapter and learning objectives start each section. You can quickly review the key points at the end of each section before moving on to the next one. At the end of the chapter, a specially focused Summary provides further reinforcement of the learning objectives. The ninth edition offers expanded integration of the text's three guiding themes of biology (evolution, information transfer, and energy for life) and innovative online and multimedia resources for students and instructors
Biology (AP Biology Raven)
by Jonathan B. Losos Peter Raven Susan R. Singer Kenneth A. Masonby Peter H Raven, George B Johnson, Kenneth A. Mason, Jonathan Losos, Susan Singer Biology focuses on evolution as a unifying theme. In revising the text, McGraw-Hill consulted with numerous users, noted experts and professors in the field. Biology is distinguished from other texts by its strong emphasis on natural selection and the evolutionary process that explains biodiversity. The new 8th edition continues that tradition and advances into modern biology by featuring the latest in cutting edge content reflective of the rapid advances in biology. That same modern perspective was brought into the completely new art program offering readers a dynamic, realistic, and accurate, visual program. AP Correlation Visit the Online Learning Center
Biology (AP Edition)
by Sylvia MaderThis comprehensive introductory textbook covers biology traditionally - from the structure and function of the cell to the organization of the biosphere.
