Books with title Biology

The most respected and accomplished authorship team in high school biology, Ken Miller and Joe Levine are real scientists and educators who have dedicated their lives to scientific literacy. Their experience, knowledge, and insight guided them in creating this breakaway biology program -- one that continues to set the standard for clear, accessible writing. Brand-new content includes the latest scholarship on high-interest topics like stem cells, genetically modified foods, and antibiotics in animals.

NOTE: This ISBN does not Include Access code. This is a Standalone bookCommitted to Excellence in the Landmark Tenth Edition. This edition continues the evolution of Raven & Johnson's Biology. The author team is committed to continually improving the text, keeping the student and learning foremost. We have integrated new pedagogical features to expand the students' learning process and enhance their experience in the ebook. This latest edition of the text maintains the clear, accessible, and engaging writing style of past editions with the solid framework of pedagogy that highlights an emphasis on evolution and scientific inquiry that have made this a leading textbook for students majoring in biology and have been enhanced in this landmark Tenth edition. This emphasis on the organizing power of evolution is combined with an integration of the importance of cellular, molecular biology and genomics to offer our readers a text that is student friendly and current. Our author team is committed to producing the best possible text for both student and faculty. The lead author, Kenneth Mason, University of Iowa, has taught majors biology at three different major public universities for more than fifteen years. Jonathan Losos, Harvard University, is at the cutting edge of evolutionary biology research, and Susan Singer, Carleton College,, has been involved in science education policy issues on a national level. All three authors bring varied instructional and content expertise to the tenth edition of Biology.

PART 2 of a two book series. For ease of use, the full course work for AP Biology has been published as two companion titles. AP Biology 1 is the companion to this title. CONTENTS of this Book: Metabolism: Energy in Living Systems; Enzymes and Metabolism; The Physiology and Behavior of Organisms: Homeostasis and Energy Allocation; Plant Structure and Adaptation; Comparing Animal Systems; Interactions in Physiological Systems; Defence Mechanisms; Timing and Coordination; Communicating and Responding; Ecology: Populations and Communities; Energy Flow and Nutrient Cycles; The Diversity and Stability of Ecosystems Chapter introductions provide a summary of required knowledge, encapsulating the Essential Knowledge of the AP curriculum framework (2015) and matched point for point. A Key Idea introduces each activity, providing a clear focus and take-home message for the student. New activities to support student-led inquiry and a larger number of activities involving data analysis and modeling. New case studies and required illustrative examples. New easy-to-use coding for weblinks, content and concept connections, and science practices: Science Practices are well supported through integrated activities in both volumes. Concept and Content Connections codes enable students to make important connections across the entire program. New content to support the 13 required practicals. Both volumes include content adjustments and updates in light of the latest (2015) review of the framework and in keeping with the dynamic nature of science. Review activities at the end of each chapter enable students to test their understanding and are ideal as formative assessment tasks. Synoptic activities suitable as summative assessments conclude each section of work.
