From the groundbreaking partnership of W. H. Freeman and Scientific American comes this one-of-a-kind introduction to the science of biology and its impact on the way we live. In Biology for a Changing World, authors Michele Shuster, along with two experienced educators and a science journalist, explore the core ideas of biology through a series of chapters written and illustrated in the style of a Scientific American article. Chapters don’t just feature compelling stories of real people—each chapter is a newsworthy story that serves as a context for covering the standard curriculum for the non-majors biology course. Updated throughout, the second edition offers new stories, additional physiology chapters, a new electronic Instructor’s Guide, and enhanced pedagogy. Discover how this unique approach transforms complex biological concepts into engaging narratives that bring the science of life to life.
