Biology: Life Features

by Tom M. Graham and Thomas M. Graham

For one semester, non-major introductory biology courses. With an emphasis on the fundamentals of biology, the text highlights some of the major areas of biology and is intended to evoke an appreciation of science in general and biology in particular. It provides opportunities to learn how to think rationally and analytically about the life features that affect our daily existence. The goal of this text is to offer students the opportunity to become more aware, better informed citizens, and to prevent them from being misinformed, or overwhelmed by partial truths, hype, and sensationalism--without drowning in a sea of scientific minutiae. The author has formatted the book around seven life features--organization, energy transactions, sensation and response, homeostasis, reproduction, growth and development, and evolutionary adaptation which constitute the framework for each section.
