Product Description
Cecie Starr is the most successful author in non-majors biology because of her clear and engaging writing, trend-setting art, and unparalleled student and instructor media. Now in her brief NEW text (hard bound version), Starr creates in fewer than 600 pages a friendly, issues-oriented book with enormous instructional power. Integrating visuals from the book and accompanying media, Starr supports student mastery throughout and encourages students to make judgments about biology-related issues just as they will as citizens, voters, parents, employees, and consumers. The pedagogical focal points of each chapter are "Read Me First!" diagrams that introduce concepts before students read the longer text discussions. These visual previews, featuring annotated art presented in clearly numbered steps, make the subsequent text discussions more accessible. To solidify understanding, a narrated animation of each diagram appears on the free Student CD-ROM. "The Big Picture" on every chapter-opening page is a visual overview of the chapter's key concepts and is enhanced by a fully narrated, "mini-lecture" movie on the CD-ROM. The free Student CD-ROM provides access to BiologyNow, a powerful diagnostic learning tool that helps students assess their unique study needs through pretests and personalized learning plans. An "Impacts and Issues" opens each chapter focusing students on a key biology-related societal issue. Revisited throughout the chapter, this unfolding case study illustrates the chapter's biological concepts. Each chapter's "How Would You Vote?" feature asks students to consider biology-related news topics, gather and evaluate pro/con information, apply knowledge, then cast a vote on the Web. Students can see how peers in their state and across the nation voted. For additional facts and perspectives on each side of the issue, instructors can assign readings from the online Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center.

This is the absolute worst experience I've ever had at ordering anything on-line! I ordered my book on Jan 3rd it is now Feb 1st and I still have not received my book and I'm done with my third week of school. I've also been given the run around several times, computer was broken, put wrong address and it came back, etc.....
The worst Textbook ever! November 7, 2007

Very BAD writings, It's very hard to understand for those non-biology majored readers. You can read thousand times and still have no idea! Negative six-star rating!!!

This book was in excellent condition and it came with the cd. It wasn't expensive and I really loved the fact that my book was here within one week.
On time for classes! September 23, 2005

There were no problems at all with this whole deal. Didn't take long to get and the price was almost half of what they wanted at our University bookstore! Thanks guys! The love of Jesus is intense! John 15:13
