Biology

Biology by Mader, Sylvia S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780073301136.

"Biology" is a comprehensive introductory biology textbook for non-majors or mixed-majors courses that covers biology in a traditional order from the structure and function of the cell to the organization of the biosphere. The book, which centers on the evolution and diversity of organisms, is appropriate for a one- or two-semester course. Its no wonder that Sylvia Maders "Biology" continues to be a text thats appreciated as much by instructors as it is by the students who use it. The ninth edition is the epitome of Maders expertise: its concise, precise writing uses an economy of words to present the material as succinctly and clearly as possible, thereby enabling students - even non-majors - to understand the concepts without necessarily asking the instructor to explain further.
