Concepts of Biology

0.0

Instructors consistently ask for a textbook that helps students understand the relationships between the main concepts of biology, so they are not learning facts about biology in isolation. Mader's "Concepts of Biology" was developed to fill this void. Organised around the main themes of biology, "Concepts of Biology" guides students to think conceptually about biology and the world around them. Just as the levels of biological organisation flow from one level to the next, themes and topics in "Concepts of Biology" are tied to one another throughout the chapter, and between the chapters and parts. Combined with Dr. Mader's hallmark writing style, exceptional art program, and pedagogical framework, difficult concepts become easier to understand and visualise, allowing students to focus on understanding how the concepts are related. The integration of text and the digital world are now complete with McGraw-Hill's ConnectPlus and LearnSmart. ConnectPlus allows you assign content from the text by Learning Outcomes and the reporting features are the best in the market.

Dr. Sylvia S. Mader has authored several nationally recognised biology texts published by McGraw- Hill. Educated at Bryn Mawr College, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Nova Southeastern University, she holds degrees in both Biology and Education. Over the years she has taught at University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts Bay Community College, Suffolk University, and Nathan Mathew Seminars. Her ability to reach out to science-shy students led to the writing of her fi rst text, Inquiry into Life, that is now in its twelfth edition. Highly acclaimed for her crisp and entertaining writing style, her books have become models for others who write in the field of biology.
