What Is Life? A Guide to Biology with Physiology & Prep-U by Jay Phelan (Author). Probably the most profitable new non-majors biology textbook in a decade returns in a vigorously updated new edition-with each chapter of the book rigorously revised by Jay Phelan, based mostly on the suggestions of hundreds of instructors and students.

The Second Edition brings forward the e-book’s hallmark options (clear and constant illustrations, beautiful photographs, Take-Home Message summary sections, StreetBio: Data You Can Use, and Pink Q Questions) while including new pedagogy, updated content, and expanded media/dietary supplements package.

After almost a year of utilizing this e book with lots of of school students, I can simply attest to the excellence of this textbook. It offers many excellent, modern pedagogic options such as frequent summaries of the "take-house lesson", really helpful and never merely decorative graphics (of the prime quality one can anticipate from Freeman), and different features already talked about within the reviews Amazon has included at the beginning of this page. Supporting supplies corresponding to the coed study guide are excellent, and the teacher's handbook is massive. The Energy Points give lecturers classroom access to the primary-fee graphics.

The writing is of a top quality which is above the common one sees in the present day in even good textbooks. The writer has chosen interesting and pretty refined material to give students an opportunity to see why biologists discover life fascinating. two example: physiological diversifications to high altitude, and thermoregulation.

This is an especially good selection for a one-semester life science programs for non-majors. You also have your choice of editions with or without physiology. If you're utilizing this e-book as a pupil, consider buying the examine guide, and make sure to do the entire textual content exercises. I made the mistake of renting the net version of this ebook from my faculty bookstore. It's rather more difficult to read, and a lot tougher to seek out something that you've got learn, when it's a must to page through an online book. I purchased this used one and I fond it much simpler to make use of this way.
