Human Biologyis a new book for readers preparing for careers in human biology or anatomy &amp; physiology. As in Belk and Borden’s highly successful “Biology: Science for Life,” science is presented as a story that is integrated into the narrative to motivate readers to read further and make real-life connections to the concepts they are learning. Critical thinking is emphasized through figure captions that encourage readers to think further,“Stop and Stretch” vignettes that ask them to reflect on earlier concepts, and end-of-chapter problems that pose questions that integrate and synthesize the chapter material. The unique presentation of molecular genetics early in the book (Chapter 4) allows the authors to apply molecular ideas in subsequent chapters. Clear and friendly writing continues as a hallmark of these authors. KEY TOPS: The Scientific Method: Proven Effective, The Chemistry of Life: Drink to Your Health?, Cell Structure and Metabolism: Diet, Genes—Transcription, Translation, Mutation, and Cloning: Genetically Modified Foods, Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems: Work Out, The Musculoskeletal System: Sex Differences in Athleticism, The Digestive System: Weight-Loss Surgery, The Blood: Malaria-A Deadly Bite, The Cardiovascular System: Can We Stop the Number-One Killer?, The Respiratory System: Secondhand Smoke, The Urinary System: Surviving the Ironman, Immune System, Bacteria, Viruses, and Other Pathogens: Will Mad-Cow Disease Become an Epidemic?, Sexually Transmitted Infections: The Cervical Cancer Vaccine, Brain Structure and Function: Attention Deficit Disorder, The Senses: Is Danger Near?, The Endocrine System: Worried Sick, DNA Synthesis, Mitosis, and Meiosis: Cancer, Human Reproduction: Is There Something in the Water?, Mendelian and Quantitative Genetics: Are You Only as Smart as Your Genes?, Extensions of Mendelism, Sex Linkage, Pedigree Analysis, and DNA Fingerprinting DNA Detective, Development and Aging : The Promise and Perils of Stem Cells, Evolution: Where Did We Come From?, Ecosystems and Biomes: Where Do You Live?, Population, Community, and Ecosystem Ecology: Is Earth Experiencing a Biodiversity Crisis?

The Third Edition of Biology: Science for Life continues to draw readers into biology through engaging stories that make difficult topics more accessible and understandable. Colleen Belk and Virginia Borden strive to make teaching and learning biology a better experience from both sides of the desk. The authors draw from their teaching experiences to create a book with a flowing narrative and innovative features that require readers to become more active participants in their learning. Each chapter presents the material through a story that draws from real life examples, making the reading more engaging and accessible to today’s readers. These stories strive to demystify topics found in biology. The Third Edition of this book features a completely re-designed art program and uses the authors’ teaching experiences to create student-centered features such as the new Savvy Reader, Visualize This, and Stop and Stretch to motivate and encourage reader learning. The new A Closer Look allows instructors the opportunity to expand on certain important biological topics. For instructors who would like to cover Animal Structure and Function and Plant Biology, an alternate edition of this book, Biology: Science for Life with Physiology, is also available. Can Science Cure the Common Cold? Introduction to the Scientific Method, Are We Alone in the Universe? Water, Biochemistry, and Cells, Diet.
