ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE HUMAN BIOLOGY: SIMPLIFIED, CONCISE & CURRENT; CONTAINS OVER 950 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; DESIGNED MAINLY FOR NON-BIOLOGY MAJORS
Essentials of College Human Biology is a product of many years of teaching, research and extensive evaluation of students in the human biology syllabus for non-majors. It has been written in a concise, clear and readable format to aid understanding, effective learning as well as teaching of the subject. It provides an alternative for non-biology major students who in many cases have to rely on textbooks recommended for biology majors to pursue this course. The book is organized into three sections, and each section provides the relevant information for non-biology majors who take this course as a prerequisite for their main programs. Section 1 treats the Basic Principles of Human Biology and Diseases; Section 2 treats the Human Biology Issues and Actions and Section 3 provides 961 Questions and Answers that cover the 34 chapters in sections 1 and 2. Answers are provided immediately after each question.
