About this title

Synopsis

Biological Science: A Molecular Approach is designed to present a balanced approach to biology and to serve equally well either as a terminal course in general education or as a college prcparatory course in biology. Its central theme is moleculur biology, which developed as a field of study around 1920 and has continued to expand as the structure of the cell and the mechanisms of genetic control have been further elucidated.

The chief objective of Biological Science: A Molecular Approach is to provide an accurate, modern background to aid students in comprehending the biological issues they will face in the future. Even today, no educated person can afford to be wIthout a knowledge of DNA and its implications. Critical issues of genetic engineering, cellular energy, development, and evolution cannot be understood without a background in molecular biology. The popular media daily report new advances in molecular biology, some destined for major impact, others transient or even erroneous. For the future, knowledge of molecular biology will be essential, as students will be asked to come to grips with such issues whose basis is molecular biology and to vote on directions in which science is likely to be moving.

This new edition is based on 25 years of experience, classroom testing, and continued evaluation. It reflects the thinking of intemationally renowned biologists, the pedagogy of thousands of teachers who have used it in the classroom, and the concerns of students with the practical applications of biology for themselves. This edition of Biological Science: A Molecular Approach is designed to foster scientific thinking, reasoned approaches to problems, and an appreciation of the role science plays in our daily lives. This work is written to engender understanding of the major concepts that make biology both comprehensible and useful.
