Through his teaching, his textbook, and in his
online blog, award-winning teacher Michael D. Johnson sparks the
interest of today's science-intimidated student by connecting basic
biology to real-world issues relevant to students' own lives. Through a
storytelling approach and extensive online support, Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues, Seventh Edition not
only demystifies how the human body works but drives students to become
better consumers of health and science information. Each chapter opens
with Johnson’s popular "Current Issue" essays, and BlogInFocus
references within the chapter direct students to his frequently-updated
online blog for breaking human biology-related news. Seventh
Edition offers stronger student self-assessment tools with new and
expanded critical thinking questions throughout each chapter and in the
end-of-chapter reviews.
