Detailed description Visualizing Human Biology engages students to connect the science to their own lives through stunning visuals- both in print and media rich resources. Visualizing Human Biology presents the important concepts of the course as they relate to the world we live in. The role of the human in the environment is stressed throughout, ensuring that topics such as evolution, ecology, and chemistry are introduced in a non-threatening and logical fashion. The third edition includes revised art that helps make the concepts easier to understand, and additional visualizing features have been integrated throughout the chapters. The material has also been streamlined, making this a concise resource.
