Description This 1 best-selling text in introductory biology combines the guiding principles of scientific accuracy, currency, and the power of text-art integration for teaching and learning biology. Read: A uniquely structured and carefully designed Modular Approach paces student learning in manageable steps. Students begin a module with a key concept, giving them the big picture to keep in mind.

They then dive into an explanation of the concept in tightly linked text and images. The concluding text of the module flows logically to the next key concept, so that students can see how the concepts tie together.

At the very end of each module is a question, allowing students to test their understanding before they continue to the next concept. The free supplements called Current Issues in Biology provide accessible, dynamic, relevant articles from Scientific American magazine on topics like climate change and the genetics of alcoholism.

Your subscription to Connect includes the following: SmartBook[registered] - an adaptive digital version of the course textbook that personalizes your reading experience based on how well you are learning the content; access to your instructor's homework assignments, quizzes, syllabus, notes, reminders, and other important files for the course; progress dashboards that quickly show how you are performing on your assignments and tips for improvement; and, the option to purchase for a small fee a print version of the book.

Its sixteen chapters correspond to those in the main text. The latter half of the book covers important material normally not covered in prerequisite mathematics courses, but is essential to physical chemistry study.

Organized largely by chapters on learning centers literacy, manipulative and sensory, science, mathematics, etc. It provides physicians with a clinically relevant approach to the interpretation of electrophysiograms used to measure heart rhythm disorders. There are more than numbered examples in the text at least one for each new concept or application. Among those properties are critical and other pure component properties; pressure-volume- temperature relationships and thermodynamic properties of pure components and mixtures; vapor pressures and phase-change enthalpies; standard enthalpies of formation; standard Gibbs energy of formation; heat capacity; surface tension; viscosity; thermal conductivity; diffusion coefficients; and phase equilibria.

Also, the author has developed through classroom use a series of Basic Skills Worksheets that can easily be integrated into the classroom. The Workbook includes the student solutions manual for a one-stop shop for student use. The accessible exposition not only helps students master real analysis, but also makes the book useful as a reference.
