Biology - Valparaiso

This text covers the five guiding themes of biology - the evolution of life, the transmission of biological information, the flow of energy through living systems, interactions among biological systems, and the inter-relationship of structure and function.

HOEFNAGELS: BIOLOGY: THE ESSENTIALS Marielle Hoefnagels presents up-to-date information using a scientific approach and relevant examples to illustrate the basic biological concepts. Marielle's focus on evolutionary processes and implications aid a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of Biology, which will help students make connections and grasp the importance and relevance of biology in their lives.

Covering newsworthy aspects of contemporary biology--gene therapy, the Human Genome Project, DNA testing, and genetic engineering--as well as fundamental concepts, this book, written specifically for nonbiologists, discusses classical and molecular genetics, quantitative and population genetics--including cloning and genetic diseases--and the many applications of genetics to the world around us, from genetically modified foods to genetic testing.
