Supports and motivates you as you learn to think scientifically and use the skills of a biologist. Scott Freeman's
Biological Science is beloved for its Socratic narrative style, its emphasis on experimental evidence, and its
dedication to active learning. In the Fifth Edition, the author team has expanded to include new members-bringing
a fresh focus on accuracy and currency, and multiplying the dedication to active learning by six. Research indicates
that true mastery of content requires a move away from memorization towards active engagement with the material
in a focused, personal way. Biological Science is the first introductory biology text designed to equip you with
a strategy to accurately assess your level of understanding, predict your performance, and identify the types of
cognitive skills that need improvement.
