Biology: The Dynamic Science

Russell/Benington/McMillan/Engstrom/Shakerley's "Biology: The Dynamic Science," 6th Edition, makes things clear and easy to learn, trimming unnecessary details and focusing on big ideas that matter most. Figures are simple and highlight key concepts so you won’t get lost in extra information. Learning objectives and end-of chapter summaries connect to sections and show which objectives they cover -- making it easy to study and know what’s important. Additional research in evolutionary and cellular biology keeps content fresh and shows how science works in real life. The text, along with MindTap, emphasizes and applies science as a process. The authors explain complex ideas and describe how biologists collect and interpret evidence to test hypotheses, as well as provide applications, develop quantitative analysis and mathematical reasoning skills and build conceptual understanding.
