Textbook Summary

Do you ever stop to think about how prevalent biology is in our everyday lives? Teaching biology by relating it to day-to-day occurrences is one of the main challenges that Life: The Science of Biology 11th Edition answers. Biology is exciting and dynamic, yet more often than not, that may not always be the case for students who are studying it. Instead, the text focuses on learning through experiments and motivating students to actively search for answers on their own. To do this, the text enhances the core material with additional learning resources throughout each chapter, including Work with the Data exercises to let students analyze research on their own and Investigating Life sections that directly apply the concepts being covered to real-life situations. By the end of the course, you’ll have gained a solid foundation in biology that will carry on into more advanced subjects.
