Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have been teaching nonmajors biology at the University of Oklahoma since 1997 and over that time have encountered many students who fear science in general and biology in particular. The complexity, abstractions, and unfamiliar terms can seem overwhelming at first, but with practice, I know that anyone can think like a scientist. Learning to think scientifically is important well beyond passing your biology class. After all, scientific issues confront you every day as you navigate your life and your social media accounts. How do you know if a claim about climate change is scientific? Will you be able to identify misinformation and interpret graphs during the next global health crisis? This book will teach you not only to understand the scientific terms you encounter but also to distinguish "good science" from unscientific claims. I've created the following features to help you make the transition from memorizing facts to understanding concepts-from accepting scientific claims to analyzing them for yourself. These tools will help you to pass your class and to be an informed citizen"--

Book excerpt: "For years, biology instructors have recognized that we need to turn away from teaching methods that reward students who memorize and regurgitate superficial knowledge. Instead, we need to emphasize deeper learning that requires students to understand and apply course content. This idea is precisely what I have tried to achieve since I started teaching at the University of Oklahoma in 1997, and it has been a guiding principle in the creation of my books and digital material as well. This edition retains what users have always loved about this book: the art program, readable narrative, handy study tips, Investigating Life essays, tutorial animations, and concept maps. In this edition, I have explicitly connected the unit-wide Survey the Landscape concept map at the start of each chapter to the more detailed, chapter-specific Pull It Together concept map at each chapter's end. Not only does each Survey the Landscape now direct the student's attention to the Pull It Together concept map, but the latter includes a specially labeled question directing the reader's attention back to the Survey the Landscape's "big picture" view. The objective remains the same: to help students see the "forest" and the "trees." One way to motivate students to learn is to help them see that biology is all around them: in food, medicine, pets, water, gardens, parks, and even vacant lots. For students interested in environmental quality, biology forms a foundation for understanding issues ranging in scale from the quality of local tap water to the changing global climate. The Burning Question and Apply It Now boxes support my efforts to help readers learn why biology matters. Each chapter now also includes one or more Scientific Literacy questions. These new thought questions at the end of each chapter will help students practice thinking like a scientist about relevant social, political, or ethical issues"--

Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.
