Description of Biology: The Dynamic Science, 5th Edition:
This updated Fifth Edition of BIOLOGY: THE DYNAMIC SCIENCE teaches Biology the way scientists practice it by emphasizing and applying science as a process. You learn not only what scientists know, but how they know it and what they still need to learn. The authors explain complex ideas clearly and describe how biologists collect and interpret evidence to test hypotheses about the living world. Throughout the learning process, this powerful resource engages students, develops quantitative analysis and mathematical reasoning skills and builds conceptual understanding.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
