内容説明

Discover Biology is the only introductory biology textbook to present consistently applied features in each chapter that not only demonstrate biology's everyday relevance, but teach students how to move from simply understanding core biological concepts to actively applying those concepts to our rapidly changing world. Discover Biology helps students become biologically literate students - to progress from science to scientific literacy.
