BiologyHow Life Works

International Edition

James R. Morris, Brandeis University, USA, Daniel L. Hartl, Andrew H. Knoll, Robert A. Lue, Andrew Berry, Andrew Biewener, Brian Farrell, Noel Michele Holbrook, Naomi Pierce, and Alain Viel, all of Harvard University, USA

W. H. Freeman and Company - A Macmillan Higher Education Company

Rethinking introductory biology means rethinking the text, the visual programme, and the assessments. Biology: How Life Works is the first book to have developed all three components in tandem. Conceived by internationally-recognized scientists and educators, the result is a focused, streamlined textbook enhanced by authentically integrated assessments all supporting the common goal of conceptual learning.

INTEGRATED, SELECTIVE, AND THEMATIC • How Life Works rethinks biology. Responding to contemporary trends such as the explosion of scientific information, the interconnectedness of scientific disciplines and the role of technology in active learning, this expert author team has created the first truly modern intro biology program. • How Life Works adopts an integrated approach to biology, meaning that information is introduced where it makes the most conceptual sense and via the medium in which it is best conveyed. Students are moved to make connections across concepts rather than to memorize. • How Life Works was not envisioned as a reference book for all of biology, but a resource focused on foundational concepts, terms and experiments. This selective approach helps students develop a solid framework on which they can build their understanding of biology.• How Life Works was written with six themes in mind, revisited throughout the text, which help students to see biology as a set of connected concepts. They are: 1. Scientific Method; 2. Chemistry and Physics; 3. Cells; 4. Evolution; 5. Ecosystems; 6. Human Impact.

CONNECTED LEARNING PATH• Core Concepts at the beginning of each chapter give students a preview of the key ideas they will be encountering • Quick Checks throughout the chapter ask students to pause and ensure they have a full understanding of a specific idea or topic before moving on • Self-Assessments allow students to see whether or not they grasp the major ideas of the chapter • Visual Synthesis maps integrate concepts from across multiple chapters into two-page visual summaries • How Do We Know? figures introduce key experiments and then visually unpack the steps of the scientific inquiry • Cases use two-page essays on engaging real-world

examples to connect concepts across chapters, and subsequently revisited via Case Questions
