Synopsis:

This book has been designed as a supplement to help you get the most out of your introductory biology course. Doing cooperative activities will provide you with an opportunity to approach lecture concepts in a new way and help forge the skills that lead to success. Through the use of cooperative activities, you'll gain confidence and expertise in logical thinking, the ability to work with others, analyzing what you learn, and communicating your ideas to others.

About the Authors: Lisa Starr has been creating incredible art for the Starr biology textbooks since 1997, and began authoring the books in 2004. She has a passion for all things science, and particularly enjoys parsing complex scientific concepts into written and visual content that engages nonscientists. She has an extensive background in molecular biology-based research in both academic and industrial settings, and an education in chemistry and biochemistry.

For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: �I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice.�

Christine Evers has been creating multimedia and Web-based materials to supplement Starr and other science texts for ten years. She earned her B.S. in Biology from SUNY Stony Brook. After working as a research assistant studying the developmental biology of slime mold, she was awarded an N.S.F. fellowship to attend Yale, where she studied evolutionary biology and honeybee behavior. She has a strong interest in science education and serves as a member of her local school board.
