0.0

The Starr, Evers, Starr author team is the most successful in non-major biology primarily because of the team's clear and engaging writing style, trend-setting art, and unparalleled media. BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW WITH PHYSIOLOGY, 3e, INTERNATIONAL EDITION the team's most concise text, provides the perfect balance between educating students on the most compelling issues that instructors desire to convey with the critical-thinking skills needed to become responsible citizens of the world. Key Feature Highlighting biology's relevance, each chapter opens with an Impacts, Issues essay on a biology-related issue, such as Biofuels, HPV/Cervical Cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Within the chapter, students will see how learning the concepts of biology help them think critically about these issues. All Impacts, Issues essays are enhanced by a video clip, available to students through CengageNOW™. How Would You Vote? questions on relevant issues accompany each chapter's Impacts, Issues essay and set the stage for a How Would You Vote? question that has students thinking more deeply about current biology-related issues. Students vote on the issue at CengageNOW™. Students can answer a few questions and include the reasoning for their conclusion in an e-mail that can be sent to instructors. Once studnets vote, results will be added to statewide and nationwide tallies. Digging Into Data exercises give students a hands-on way to apply critical-thinking skills by learning to read and interpret real data.
