Overview

Taking advantage of nonscience students' natural curiosity about how the human body works, Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues sparks readers' interest in science and encourages active learning. With a focus on body systems, the text seeks to make students better consumers of health and science information. The inspired narrative tells a story instead of listing facts. A magazine-style presentation sets off key ideas so students can remember them. *Chapter-opening questions serve as hooks to draw students in and teach them that the study of science begins with asking questions. *Declarative 'concept-style' headings can be used to preview and review chapter concepts. *Try It Yourself boxes engage students in active learning with short exercises that can be performed in minutes to validate facts found in the text. *Current Issues essays explore controversial topics such as 'How Should Scarce Organs be Allocated?' and 'Should We Clone Humans?'. *Outstanding, all new, illustrations developed expressly for the human biology courses. *Brief Recaps provide summary statements of the main take-home lessons of each text section. *Spotlights on Structure and Function highlight examples
