خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Life: The Science of Biology Eleventh Edition

With roots 10 editions deep, Life: The Science of Biology blends carefully reviewed content and an emphasis on experiments with a  contemporary approach to active learning in the classroom. Throughout,  we focus on three driving themes:

Life is ENGAGING
We  want students to come away from the introductory biology course with a  sense of wonder and an ability to pursue biological questions. To that  end, we keep the writing lively, the examples modern and exciting, and  the emphasis on how we know what we know.

To help students engage with the course, an Investigating Life thread weaves through each chapter. Each individual part of the thread  appeals to students, inspires them to ask questions, and keeps them  wanting to know, “What next?” The beauty of the thread is that it gives  students an authentic scientific experience beyond just reading about  someone’s research results.

Life is ACTIVE
With  the help of the Advisory Board, we’ve developed a series of pedagogical  features that integrate tools for instructors with those for student  independent study. Students work their way toward real understanding of  biological principles. We don’t just ask them to memorize  information–we invite them to actively participate in the process of  discovery.

For instructors wanting to make active learning a part of their classroom, we’ve created an Active Learning Guide, with start-up material, ideas, and a complete guide to all the Life activities that are ready to add to your in-class repertoire.

Life is FOCUSED ON SKILLS
We  want students to feel comfortable as they learn to manipulate and  interpret data. The various types of problem-solving exercises in Life help them develop practical, analytical, and quantitative  skills–skills that will benefit them whether they continue in biology  or not. Exercises vary in skill level, type, and approach, with answers  in the back of the book.
