Written from a truly integrated earth systems perspective, Earth System History includes new and updated coverage on key topics in historical geology like coverage on mass extinctions, climate change, and Proterozoic history.

"Non-Majors Biology text, including coverage of physiology; each chapter presents a key concept within the context of a relevant story of discovery, determination, human interest, and adventure"--

The Analysis of Biological Data provides students with a practical foundation of statistics for biology students. Every chapter has several biological or medical examples of key concepts, and each example is prefaced by a substantial description of the biological setting. The emphasis on real and interesting examples carries into the problem sets where students have dozens of practice problems based on real data. The third edition features over 200 new examples and problems. These include new calculation practice problems, which guide the student step by step through the methods, and a greater number of examples and topics come from medical and human health research. Every chapter has been carefully edited for even greater clarity and ease of use. All the data sets, R scripts for all worked examples in the book, as well as many other teaching resources, are available to qualified instructors (see below).

With Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Ben Pierce brings a master teacher's experiences to the introductory genetics textbook, clarifying this complex subject by focusing on the big picture of genetics concepts and how those concepts connect to one another. The new 7th edition continues this mission by expanding upon the powerful pedagogy and tools that have made this title so successful. New question types, more learning guidelines for students, and an updated art program round out a powerful text. Genetics: A Conceptual Approach is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan's new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, includingassets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study andassessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Johll Investigating Chemistry uses forensic science as a framework to teach chemistry. The inherently fascinating topics of crime and criminal investigations serve as context to teach fundamental chemistry concepts to non-science majors. Capitalizing on student interest in this compelling topic, Johll is able to make learning chemistry exciting and accessible. Each chapter is driven by a case study with details from a real crime scenario, providing an investigative approach to learning chemistry concepts.. The new fourth edition of Investigating Chemistry will include:new content featuring fresh chapter-opening case studies for four chapters.media tools focused on a few key resources that address engagement and reading support, including videos of current events and real-world applications, and LearningCurve reading quizzes. VitalSource e-book.

The authors goal for the book is that its clearly written, could be read by a calculus student and would motivate them to engage in the material and learn more. Moreover, to create a text in which exposition, graphics, and layout would work together to enhance all facets of a student's calculus experience. They paid special attention to certain aspects of the text: 1. Clear, accessible exposition that anticipates and addresses student difficulties.2. Layout and figures that communicate the flow of ideas. 3. Highlighted features that emphasize concepts and mathematical reasoning including Conceptual Insight, Graphical Insight, Assumptions Matter, Reminder, and Historical Perspective.4. A rich collection of examples and exercises of graduated difficulty that teach basic skills as well as problem-solving techniques, reinforce conceptual understanding, and motivate calculus through interesting applications. Each section also contains exercises that develop additional insights and challenge students to further develop their skills.

Revised edition of: Evolution / Carl Zimmer, Douglas J. Emlen. Second edition. [2016].

Establish strong computational skills while continually reinforcing the relevance of calculus in your studies and daily life as Calculus establishes balance between concepts.

For upper-division/graduate courses in operations research/management science, mathematics, and computer science, this text covers basic theory, selected applications, network flow problems, and advanced techniques.

Basic Complex Analysis skillfully combines a clear exposition of core theory with a rich variety of applications. Designed for undergraduates in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering who have completed two years of calculus and are taking complex analysis for the first time.

The new edition of Introduction to Wildlife and Fisheries marks the return of first and only book to integrate both the wildlife and fisheries into a single textbook at the introductory level. Thoroughly updated, with an inviting new design, the Second Edition offers the most current and accessible coverage of essential biological concepts and their applications, principles of resource management and conservation, and contemporary and public policy issues affecting today's scientists and resources.
