Product Description
Save time with HUMAN BIOLOGY and accompanying technology resources! Highlighting biology’s relevance to your own life, this biology text shows you how an understanding of basic concepts of human biology can help you think critically and make informed decisions. Each chapter opens with a real-life biology-related issue or research finding such as the obesity epidemic, unregulated food supplements, hormone disrupters in food and water supplies, and the effects of Ecstasy on the nervous system. Step-by-step art, summaries, diagrams, key icons with cross-references to earlier sections, and key terms help introduce and reinforce important concepts. Studying is made easy with CengageNOW and a book-specific website that provides flashcards, quizzes, a glossary, and weblinks.
About the Author
For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of Biology: the Unity and Diversity of Life, Biology: Concepts and Applications, and Biology today and Tomorrow. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."
Bev McMillan has been a science writer for more than 20 years and is co-author of a college text in human biology, now in its sixth edition. She has worked extensively in educational and commercial publishing, including eight years in editorial management positions in the college divisions of Random House and McGraw-Hill. In a multifaceted freelance career, Bev also has written or co-authored six trade books and numerous magazine and newspaper articles, as well as story panels for exhibitions at the Science Museum of Virginia and the San Francisco Exploratorium. She has worked as a radio producer and speechwriter for the University of California system and as a media relations advisor for the College of William and Mary. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of California at Berkeley.
