Paperback. Condition: Fair. Biology Today: An Issues Approach by Eli. C. Minkoff and Pamela J. BakerCondition: Pre-owned, in fair condition. The cover has some bends and small marks on it. The base of the pages have some pen ink, possibly highlighter, on them. The pages are all present and firmly attached to the spine which is in good order. There are no notations throughout the book. Biology as a subject not only plays a major role within the scientific world but has broader implications within society as a whole. Biology Today-An Issues Approach takes a modern and innovative approach to teaching introductory biology; it presents fundamental biological concepts within the context of current social issues. How do scientists affect our society at large? How are ethics and morals applied to the scientific world? Why are we racing to complete the human genome project, and who are we racing against? How do economic disparities between people and nations influence habitat destruction? Can plant science feed the world? Are the causes of cancer more genetic or environmental? Biology Today aids students to think critically about these questions and to explore and assess the role that science plays in their world. Copyright © Taylor and Francis. Seller Inventory # 458957
