Essentials of Biology is an introductory biology text fornon-major students that can be used in a one- or two-semester course. It wasprepared to provide non-science majors with a fundamental understanding of thescience of biology. The overall focus of this edition addresses the learningstyles of modern students, and in the process, increases their understanding ofthe importance of science in their lives. It was prepared to engage today'sstudents in the science of biology by providing a fundamental understanding oflife. Digital resources and Connections boxes encourage the student tointegrate scientific concepts into their lives. Essentials of Biology isfully integrated into McGraw-Hill’s adaptive learning and Connect platforms,and is associated with a number of online assets that allow instructors to usethis text as a content foundation for traditional, online, hybrid and"flipped" classrooms.
