Biology, the Unity & Diversity of Life
5 total works
It is possible to tailor the seventh edition of "Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life" specifically to the topics you cover in your course. Six paperbacks are available: "Cell Biology and Genetics", "Evolution of Life", "Plant Structure and Function", "Animal Structure and Function", and "Ecology and Behaviour". The "Plant Structure and Function" volume includes vascular plant tissues, growth patterns, plant nutrition and transport, reproduction, plant hormones, and development.
Intended for non-majors Biology courses in higher education, this text includes Chapter 1, Part 1 (Principles of Cellular Life), and Part II (Principles of Inheritance) from the authors' main text, Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life. In this text, the authors include characteristics of life, scientific methods, basic chemistry, cell biology, metabolism, mitosis and meiosis, classical genetics, human genetics, molecular genetics, recombinant DNA, and genetic engineering. You'll also find the useful back matter (glossary, index, etc.) included from the main text, a customized table of contents, and a student CD-ROM packaged with every copy of the text.
For the 12th edition of Volume 2 - Evolution of Life from Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life, 12e, the authors made it their goal to "solve" some of the toughest Introductory Biology course challenges.
"Diversity of Life" covers Unit IV from "Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life, 11th Edition". This brief and specialized book was designed for general non-major biology courses and presents the six kingdoms of life in an evolutionary framework. This book includes descriptions, illustrations, life cycles of representative viruses, bacteria, protistans, fungi, plants, invertebrates, and more. For the 11th edition of "Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life", Cecie Starr and Ralph Taggart made it their goal to "solve" some of the toughest Introductory Biology course challenges. We introduce a new issues-oriented approach with engages students in current, motivating biological topics; a built-in cross-referencing system for key topics; and, most importantly, time-saving media resources for instructors.
