From the Back Cover
Taking advantage of nonscientists' natural curiosity about how the human body works, Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues sparks readers' interest in science and encourages active learning. With a focus on body systems, the text seeks to make readers better consumers of health and science information. The inspired narrative tells a story instead of listing facts. A magazine-style presentation sets off key ideas so readers can remember them. Chapter-opening questions serve as hooks to draw readers in and teach them that the study of science begins with asking questions. Current Issues essays explore controversial topics such as "How Should Scarce Organs be Allocated?" and "Should We Clone Humans?" These essays encourage students to evaluate both sides of the issue before forming an opinion. Follow-up activities on the text's Web site encourage students to take the discussion a step further. Brief Recaps provide summary statements of the main take-home lessons of each text section. Spotlights on Structure and Function highlight examples of the relationship between structure and function. Health Watch boxes provide insights and advice on health and disease.
