Author Description

This version includes textbook and LaunchPad Access. Biology: How Life Works is the only book for the introductory course to develop three pillars of learning—the text, media, and assessment—at the same time to ensure alignment and integration of concepts. By continuing this tradition in the second edition, instructors can be sure that new pieces of content— whether new examples, new figures, new assessment questions, or a whole new chapter—are never disconnected add-ons or extras. The pack comes with LaunchPad, containing resources for you and your students; it combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content, new online case-studies and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. Curated pre-built units are easy to assign or adapt with your own material, such as video, animations, simulations, readings, quizzes, discussion groups and more.
