Biology: A Guide to the Natural World with MasteringBiology" - Softcover

David Krogh's fluent writing style guides students through the natural world of biology using relevant examples, clearly-developed illustrations, and interesting analogies that resonate with students. Intended for Introductory Biology courses, every aspect of Biology: A Guide to the Natural World was written and illustrated to guide students through biological concepts and develop their sense of scientific literacy. It is recognized as a book that students enjoy reading. The Fourth Edition builds upon the text's popular strengths-an accessible and engaging writing style, up-to-date content, a clear illustration program, a robust media package, and a complete selection of instructor and student resources. This text now includes access to MasteringBiology (R). All resources previously found on mybiology are now located within the Study Area of MasteringBiology.
