Biology Today and Tomorrow, Enhanced Homework Edition (with Cover Sheet, Audio Book Printed Access Card, Essential Study Skills, and CengageNOW, ... InfoTrac 1-Sem., iLrn™ Printed Access Card)

By Christine Evers, Cecie Starr, Lisa Starr, et al.

Book Overview

Cecie Starr is the most successful author in non-majors biology because of her clear and engaging writing, trend-setting art, and unparalleled media. BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW, her most concise text, provides a precise, issues-oriented approach and "solves" some of the toughest course challenges: engaging students, linking concepts from chapter to chapter, easily monitoring students' progress and simplifying lecture prep. Show students how biology matters: opening each chapter with engaging essays on hot issues and related online voting, the text highlights the connections between biology and real-life. Online exercises promote critical thinking about issues students will face as consumers, parents and citizens. Link concepts from chapter to chapter: since students have a difficult time linking concepts, the authors created a new "linking" tool. A list at the start of each chapter reminds students of related topics that were explained earlier. Within chapters, a key icon identifies cross-references to relevant sections in earlier chapters. As students work through the text, they see how topics build upon one another. Monitor students' progress with ease: BiologyNow offers diagnostic quizzes with automatically graded results that flow directly into your instructor grade book (iLrn, WebCT or BlackBoard). And, to assess students' progress instantly with in-class quizzes and polls, you can use JoinIn on TurningPoint content and software. Enjoy easier lecture prep: The new PowerLecture tool integrates all electronic chapter assets - art, photos, animations, videos, links to InfoTrac articles, web links, bulleted text slides, and everything else you need into each chapter's lecture slides. This "buffet" of media resources-arranged by chapter section-is at your fingertips."

book

The book was in very good shape upon arrival, no damage at all. The price was very good compared to book stores I check on. Delivery was within stated date. I am very pleased with the service.

This BIO Textbook Rocks!

My BIO-100 (Intro to Biology) class required to have me buy this book. I person have enjoyed reading the book despite it being a textbook. I especial liked it's layout of the information and how the vocabulary is in bold print making it easy to quickly scan the book and glimmed most the information I needed. I don't plan on sell my book back after this class it is easy enough to read that I plan on keeping it as a ref. book

the most basic book available

This is the most basic biology book you can find. This is more a book for personal enrichment.

On time for classes!

There were no problems at all with this whole deal. Didn't take long to get and the price was almost half of what they wanted at our University bookstore! Thanks guys! The love of Jesus is intense! John 15:13
