David Krogh’s Biology: A Guide to the Natural World leads readers on a memorable journey through the world of biology, using relevant examples, clearly-developed illustrations and helpful insights that resonate with today’s students. Widely-recognized as a book that students enjoy reading, the Fifth Edition has been thoroughly updated with new discussions on social concerns and health applications, along with streamlined chapter summaries and expanded review questions. To address different learning styles, the book’s clear illustrations and exercises are reinforced with a full suite of instructor resources. Accessible writing style acts as a helpful companion that guides non-majors students through the subject of biology by placing unfamiliar biology topics in context with everyday life. The Process of Science essays present scientific research and discovery with contemporary and historical topics of interest to students. Strong Illustration Program guides students through structures and processes with clear three-dimensional detail; key information from the text is reinforced in the illustrations. “So Far” Questions interspersed throughout each chapter give students a moment to reflect on what they have been reading and check understanding. Instructor Resource DVD-ROM gives instructors access to all of their resources in one place, includes animations, an image bank containing every illustration and most of the photos from the text, PowerPoint lecture and art slides, the Test Bank, Instructor’s Guide, Bio Flix animations and Discovery Channel videos.
