商品描述

For non-majors/mixed biology courses.

The most comprehensive coverage at the most affordable price for non-majors biology

With a proven and effective tradition of engaging readers with real-world applications, high-interest case studies, and inquiry-based pedagogy, Biology: Life on Earth fosters discovery and scientific understanding that students can use throughout their lives. Engaging Case Studies throughout each chapter and thoughtful pedagogy help students develop critical thinking and scientific literacy skills.

The 12th Edition offers the most comprehensive coverage at the most affordable price for the non-majors biology student. This loose-leaf edition maintains its conversational, question-and-answer presentation style that has made it a best-seller. The new edition expands its focus on the process of science with new Doing Science boxes throughout the text that walk students through the scientific process, and interactive Doing Science coaching activities in Mastering Biology. The text also provides Think Deeper questions that give instructors guidance for starting classroom discussions that promote critical thinking.

For coverage of plant and animal anatomy & physiology, an alternate edition, Biology: Life on Earth with Physiology, 12th Edition, is also available.

Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering Biology:


Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it.

作者簡介

TERRY AND GERRY AUDESIRK grew up in New Jersey, where they met as undergraduates, Gerry at Rutgers University and Terry at Bucknell University. After marrying in 1970, they moved to California, where Terry earned her doctorate in marine ecology at the University of Southern California and Gerry earned his doctorate in neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology. As postdoctoral students at the University of Washington's marine laboratories, they worked together on the neural bases of behavior, using a marine mollusk as a model system.

They are now emeritus professors of biology at the University of Colorado Denver, where they taught introductory biology and neurobiology from 1982 through 2006. In their research, funded primarily by the National Institutes of Health, they investigated the mechanisms by which neurons are harmed by low levels of environmental pollutants and protected by estrogen.

Terry and Gerry are long-time members of many conservation organizations and share a deep appreciation of nature and of the outdoors. They enjoy hiking in the Rockies, walking and horseback riding near their home outside Steamboat Springs, and singing in the community chorus. Keeping up with the amazing and endless stream of new discoveries in biology provides them with a continuing source of fascination and stimulation. They are delighted that their daughter Heather has become a teacher and is inspiring a new generation of students with her love of chemistry.

BRUCE E. BYERS is a Midwesterner transplanted to the hills of western Massachusetts, where he is a professor in the biology department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He has been a member of the faculty at UMass (where he also completed his doctoral degree) since 1993. Bruce teaches courses in evolution, ornithology, and animal behavior, and does research on the function and evolution of bird vocalizations.

泰瑞（TERRY）和傑瑞（GERRY）奧德西克（AUDESIRK） 在新澤西州長大，兩人在大學時期相遇，傑瑞在羅格斯大學（Rutgers University），而泰瑞則在巴克內爾大學（Bucknell University）。1970年結婚後，他們搬到加州，泰瑞在南加州大學（University of Southern California）獲得海洋生態學博士學位，傑瑞則在加州理工學院（California Institute of Technology）獲得神經生物學博士學位。作為華盛頓大學（University of Washington）海洋實驗室的博士後研究生，他們共同研究行為的神經基礎，使用海洋軟體動物作為模型系統。 他們目前是科羅拉多大學丹佛分校（University of Colorado Denver）的名譽生物學教授，從1982年到2006年教授入門生物學和神經生物學。他們的研究主要由國家衛生研究院（National Institutes of Health）資助，探討神經元如何受到低水平環境污染物的損害以及雌激素如何提供保護。 泰瑞和傑瑞是多個保育組織的長期成員，對自然和戶外活動有著深厚的熱愛。他們喜歡在落基山脈（Rockies）健行，在斯廷博特泉（Steamboat Springs）附近散步和騎馬，並參加社區合唱團。隨著生物學中不斷湧現的驚人新發現，他們持續感到著迷和受到啟發。他們對女兒希瑟（Heather）成為一名教師並用她對化學的熱愛啟發新一代學生感到非常高興。 布魯斯·E·拜爾斯（BRUCE E. BYERS） 是一位來自中西部的學者，現居於麻薩諸塞州西部的丘陵地帶，擔任麻薩諸塞大學阿默斯特分校（University of Massachusetts Amherst）生物學系的教授。自1993年以來，他一直是麻薩諸塞大學的教職員（他也在此完成了博士學位）。布魯斯教授進化論、鳥類學和動物行為等課程，並研究鳥類聲音的功能和演化。
