About the Book

By using an issues-oriented approach, Volume 1 – Cell Biology and Genetics from The Unity and Diversity of Life, 12e grabs student interest with real-life issues that hit home. This text includes new coverage and pedagogy that encourages students to think critically about hot-button issues and includes outstanding new features that take students beyond memorization and encourage them to ask questions in new ways as they learn to interpret data.

Key Feature

  • Critical Thinking Skills/Interpreting Data – Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life, 12e, encourages students to think critically about hot-button issues through Biology's connections to real life. These issues are reflected in every chapter of this new edition, beginning with opening Impacts,Issues essays—a brief case study on a biology-related issue or research finding, such as the effects of AIDS, biofuels, and the effects of trans fats. The issue presented in the chapter-opening essay is revisited throughout the chapter, reminding students of the real-world significance of basic concepts. Online exercises promote critical thinking about issues students will face as consumers, parents, and citizens.
  • Interpreting Data – Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life, 12e takes students beyond memorization and encourages them to ask questions in new ways as they learn to interpret data. New Data Analysis Exercises get students using real data to solve a problem. This feature helps students read and interpret data while helping them build critical thinking skills. New Figure It Out exercises with answers, allow students to check their understanding of a figure as they read through the chapter.
  • The How Would You Vote? questions allow students to consider all sides of an issue, broaden their understanding, and cast their vote online.
  • Clear Writing Style – Starr's writing is well known for its engaging style. The authors style engages students, without glossing over the science, even with such formidable topics as the laws of thermodynamics (Section 6.1). To keep book length manageable, the authors have been selective about which topics to include. To help students make informed decisions later in life they have also included sufficient information on many biology-related issues, such as STDs, fertility drugs, prenatal diagnoses, gene therapies, and stem cell research. The choices for which topics to condense, expand, or delete reflect more than three decades of feedback from teachers of millions of students around the world.
