Understanding Biology - Standalone book

A concise and engaging biology text for biology majors, <strong><em>Understanding Biology</em></strong> emphasizes fundamental concepts to help students better understand biology and focus on developing scientific skills.<br /><br /><br />Condensed chapters are centered on a <strong>learning path</strong> that serves to connect concepts within a chapter. The learning path begins with learning outcomes, which help students understand the <strong>core skills and concepts</strong> they should develop. <strong>Inquiry and Analysis</strong> cases help students build scientific skills, while scaffold end of chapter assessment ensures they not only grasp core concepts, but can also critically analyze and apply what they’ve learned. <strong>“Make the Connection,”</strong> a synthesis feature that ends every unit, helps students understand the connections between biological concepts, thus helping them “see” the big picture.
