Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology, Third Edition provides a thorough overview of the fundamentals of botany. The topics and chapters are organized in a sequence that is easy to follow, beginning with the most familiar -- structure -- and proceeding to the less familiar -- metabolism -- then finishing with those topics that are probably the least familiar to most beginning students -- genetics, evolution, the diversity of organisms, and ecology.

Jones and Bartlett Publishers is pleased to announce the acquisition of Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment, Second Edition by Daniel B. Chiras, formerly available from West Publishing Company. Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment stresses the relevance of human biology to students' lives and the need to apply recently acquired knowledge and skills. This technique captures the attention of the student and encourages him or her to make practical use of the information located within the text. Throughout Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment, two themes prevail: homeostasis and critical thinking. These themes provide a context for learning and utilizing chapter material in real-world situations. Ideal for one-term courses in human biology, the second edition includes the newest information available and provides a more natural organization of genetics, circulatory, and evolutionary materials.

Invitation to Oceanography provides students with a fundamental overview of the four major branches of ocean science: geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. The approach used is a broad one, relying on basic concepts to explain the ocean's many mysteries. Anybody - whether sailor, surfer, beachcomber, or student - can learn about the processes and creatures of the oceans by reading this visually exciting book. The second edition of Invitation to Oceanography has undergone major revisions. The material has been reorganized so that the development of key oceanographic concepts flows logically and systematically from section to section. Chapter 2 reintroduces an imaginary trek across the sea floor of the North Atlantic Ocean to the very top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. A new chapter examines the numerous ocean resources, invaluable to the welfare of humans, and now shoreline geology and coastal biology are covered in separate chapters. No background in science is required to grasp the many important ideas that are relevant to the working of the oceans.
