Discover Biology

From news reports about cloning and DNA fingerprinting to referenda on the teaching of evolution, biological issues surround today's students. Rather than inundate them with a encyclopedic treatment of countless facts and terms, Michael L. Cain, Hans Damman, Robert A. Lue, and Carol Kaesuck Yoon emphasize the understanding of essential biological concepts in meaningful contexts. Written specifically for students taking one-term, nonmajors introductory biology courses, Discover Biology focuses on basic concepts and real-world applications of biology, enabling students to intelligently approach issues they will read about in the paper, vote on in elections, and face in their own lives.

Discover Biology takes an innovative approach to the teaching of the one-semester non-majors' biology course. Rather than overwhelming the non-major student with a mass of detail, secondary concepts, and vocabulary terms, the authors emphasize applied topics in biology, with the goal of improving students' biological literacy. Six major units address the diversity of life, cells, genetics, evolution, form and function, and interactions with the environment. Each chapter opens with a short vignette, providing context for the chapter content, and ends with an "evaluating the news" section that hones critical reasoning skills. Concise chapters, annotated figures, outstanding pedagogy, and a host of ancillaries make Discover Biology the clear choice for nonmajors' biological science survey courses.
