Science in the context of engaging chapter-length stories
Each chapter is built around a compelling science news story that motivates students to read and stimulates their curiosity about the biological concepts underlying the story. Five NEW stories on hot topics such as CRISPR and the human microbiome make the Second Edition up to date. Expanded coverage of key content areas ensure students get a solid foundation in the science behind the story.
Build critical-thinking skills with in-text pedagogy and online assessment
Extensive pedagogy in the book and in online assessment (InQuizitive, Smartwork5, and the Coursepack) ensure students learn and remember the science behind the story. The second edition’s pedagogy is weighted even more toward challenging students to think critically and engage with examples of biology in the world around them.
Compelling art engages students with the science
We know that visualization is crucial to understanding concepts and processes in biology. To support student comprehension, many pages in Biology Now devote more space to vibrant and engaging figures.
