Books with title AGS Biology

Biology is 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€™s Biology continues 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.
