Biology: Science for Life with Physiology

by Colleen M. Belk, Virginia Borden Maier

Coleen Belk and Virginia Borden Maier have helped students demystify biology for nearly twenty years in the classroom and nearly ten years with their book, Science for Life with Physiology. In the new Fourth Edition, they continue to use stories and current issues, such as discussion of cancer to teach cell division, to connect biology to student’s lives. Learning Outcomes are new to this edition and integrated within the book to help professors guide students’ reading and to help students assess their understanding of biology. A new Chapter 3, “Is It Possible to Supplement Your Way to Better Health? Nutrients and Membrane Transport,” offers an engaging storyline and focused coverage on micro- and macro-nutrients, antioxidants, passive and active transport, and exocytosis and endocytosis.

Informative, interesting, relatively current, and even entertaining at times.

I used this book for a non-majors biology class that I taught this Summer. I didn't read the book, but the teaching materials were pretty good.

For a college textbook this was actually an easy and interesting read. The authors did a good job putting in real life scenarios that the chapter could be applied to. Will be interesting to see if COVID-19 will be included in future editions.
