The Laboratory Manual to accompany Sylvia Mader's Human Biology reflects all of the exceptional features of the Human Biology text. Instructors appreciate the refined exercises that are so numerous you won't need to look anywhere else for student activities. Author Sylvia Mader's writing in the laboratory manual, just as in the text, emphasizes clarity, with carefully worded study questions that are direct in their intent and purpose. The lab manual’s accessible writing accompanies unparalleled illustrations to provide students with clear exercises and questions. The visuals have been updated to be even easier for students--both majors and non-majors--to comprehend. The dramatic illustrations and photographs not only help students understand concepts and process, but also give them an appreciation for the beauty of organisms and biological structure. McGraw-Hill’s Biology Digitized Video Clips on the accompanying DVD will capture students’ interest while illustrating key biological concepts and processes.
In the past, Sylvia S. Mader, Ed.D. has written numerous biology textbooks for WCB/McGraw-Hill in addition to her most famous book, Inquiry Into Life, 16th edition. Her 30-year relationship with the company has yielded such titles as Human Biology, 16th edition; and Biology, 13th edition.
A brilliant and prolific writer, Dr. Mader was a respected and well-loved biology instructor before she began her writing career. In fact, she developed some of her well-known teaching and learning techniques while helping science-shy students appreciate and learn biology at Lowell University and Massachusetts Bay Community College.
Now, Sylvia is writing romance novels and has written Water Lily Blooms.
