Study Guide
Edward M. Dzialowski, University of North Texas;
Jon Glase, Cornell University;
Lindsay Goodloe, Cornell University;
Nancy Guild, University of Colorado; and
Betty McGuire, Smith College
For each chapter of the textbook, the Life
Study Guide offers a variety of study and review tools.
The contents of each chapter are broken down into both
a detailed review of the Important Concepts covered
and a boiled-down Big Picture snapshot. In addition,
Common Problem Areas and Study Strategies are highlighted.
A set of study questions (both multiple-choice and short-answer)
allows the student to test their comprehension. All
questions include answers and explanations.
Lecture Notebook
|
|
This invaluable printed resource consists of all the artwork
from the textbook (more than 1,000 images with
labels) presented in the order in which they
appear in the text, with ample space for note-taking.
Because the Notebook has already done the drawing,
students can focus more of their attention on
the concepts. They will absorb the material
more efficiently during class, and their notes
will be clearer, more accurate, and more useful
when they study from them later. |
MCAT ® Practice Test
| |
A
complete printed MCAT exam, with answers, allows
students to test their knowledge of the full
range of introductory biology content as they
prepare for the medical school entrance exams. |
CatchUp
Math & Stats
|
Michael
Harris, Gordon Taylor, and Jacquelyn Taylor
This primer will help your students quickly
brush up on the quantitative skills they need
to succeed in biology. Presented in brief, accessible
units, the book covers topics such as working
with powers, logarithms, using and understanding
graphs, calculating standard deviation, preparing
a dilution series, choosing the right statistical
test, analyzing enzyme kinetics, and many more.

Student Handbook for
Writing in Biology, Second Edition
Karin Knisely
|
This
book provides practical advice to students who
are learning to write according to the conventions
in biology. Using the standards of journal publication
as a model, the author provides, in a user-friendly
format, specific instructions on: using biology
databases to locate references; developing sound
reading strategies; paraphrasing for improved
comprehension; writing for a particular audience
with the appropriate tone; preparing lab reports
or scientific papers, posters, and oral presentations
with accepted format and content; self-evaluating
drafts; using peer and instructor feedback for
professional development; and preparing oral
presentations in PowerPoint®.

Bioethics and the
New Embryology: Springboards for Debate
Scott F. Gilbert, Anna Tyler, and Emily Zackin
|
Our
ability to alter the course of human development
ranks among the most significant changes in
modern science and has brought embryology into
the public domain. The question that must be
asked is: Even if we can do such things, should
we do such things? Under what conditions should
certain procedures be permitted or forbidden?
Do we want to support the research that might
make such procedures possible? In order to make
informed judgments about such issues, one has
to consider both the science and the ethical
considerations. The goal of this book is to
present enough
|
science so that readers can make an informed
analysis of the issues and know what factual
data are consistent (or are not consistent)
with their ethical views. |
BioStats Basics: A Student Handbook
James L. Gould and Grant F. Gould
|
BioStats
Basics provides introductory-level biology students
with a practical, accessible introduction to
statistical research. Engaging and informal,
the book avoids excessive theoretical and mathematical
detail to focus on how core statistical methods
are put to work in biology. Students are given
the essentials in probability that enable skillful
experiment design and the correct use of statistical
tests. Everyday examples, are drawn from ecology,
animal physiology, animal behavior, medicine,
and other areas of biology, are used the clarify
methods.

Laboratory Manuals
|
W.H.
Freeman publishes a range of high-quality biology
lab texts, all of which are available for bundling
with Life, Eighth Edition. Our laboratory
texts are available as complete paperback texts,
or as Freeman Laboratory Separates. Each separate
is derived from the experiments in the corresponding
laboratory manual. The separates are self-bound,
self-contained exercises.
