Connect - Your Study and Testing Program with e-book - is included with each new copy of the text. For more information, go to www.mcgrawhillconnect.ca A New Biology Book with a Modern Perspective. In addition to being active researchers and experienced writers, our U.S. and Canadian author teams have taught majors biology for years. The goal in creating something new is to offer something better - a comprehensive, modern textbook featuring an evolutionary focus with an emphasis on scientific inquiry.Through classroom experiences and research work, these authors became inspired by the prospect that a new Biology text could move biology education
My textbook for my biology class was this book. Overall, I would say I liked the book, however there were often times were terms were confusing or the book seemed to contradict itself. Coming from a Christian perspective, this book also was very secular and often regarded back to millions/billions of years and evolution in general. There is a ton of information in here though, and if you want a more in depth study for biology this would work well.
Some of the chapters were very illy organized. It would benefit the students if they did a little more presenting the information and a little less contrast and compare. I found the earlier chapters more well written than the latter.
What can I say about this? I’m a science nerd who reads text books? I’m sure science has made new discoveries and evolved since I read this long ago, but it was good then……. If text books are your sort of thing.
I owe my A in biology to this book because lecture was the most confusing thing I ever had to do. Okay, I hated it at first but then I began to actually understand and it’s not bad for science book once I started understanding biology.
