The accelerating pace of discovery makes the teaching of a imic scientific discipline, such as ecology, very challeng¬ing. The challenge to ecology instructors and their students : - made greater by the relevance of ecology to the pressing environmental problems that threaten ecological systems at every level. As we attempt to educate students to understand and design solutions to those proble…
The science of genetics is less than 150 years old, but its accomplishments within that short time have been aston¬ishing. Gregor Mendel first described genes as abstract units of inheritance in 1865; his work was ignored and then "rediscovered" in 1900. Thomas Hunt Morgan and his students provided experimental verification of the idea that genes reside within chromosomes during the years 1910…
The mission of Mader's text, Biology, has always been to give students an understanding of biological concepts and a working the scientific process. The concepts of biology and the methodology of science can be used to understand the particulars of new ideas or of a system, on any scale, from the cell to the biosphere. In the twenty-first century, students are being exposed, almost on a dai…
This book is a thorough revision of its earlier eighth edition, which was published in 2009. That edition has served, just as the earlier ones did, as a textbook for a one-term introductory course in the theory and application of functions of a complex variable. This new edition preserves the basic content and style of the earlier ones, the first two of which were written by the late Ruel V. Ch…
Sciences: An Integrated Approach, responds to the future needs of today's students. The integrated course encompasses physics, chemistry, astronomy, Earth sciences, and biology, and emphasizes general principles and their application to real-world situations. The Sixth Edition has been updated to provide the most current scientific coverage. Some of the changes are: 1. Chapter 3 Energy includ…
Buku ini merupakan buku ajar yang materinya sudah tersusun sesuai dengan kompetensi. Berbeda dengan kebiasaan umumnya, kegiatan praktikum biasanya dijadwalkan terpisah dari kegiatan tatap muka ketika membahas teori. Namun dalam buku ini kegiatan praktikum merupakan kegiatan yang menyatu dengan kegiatan tatap muka, karena kegiatan praktikum merupakan bagian enhance the environment dari kegia…
At the time I began college, biology would have been at the bottom of a list of potential majors. I enrolled in a physical an¬thropology course to fulfill the life science requirement by the easiest possible route. During that course, I learned for the first time about chromosomes, mitosis, and genetic recombi¬nation, and I became fascinated by the intricate activities that could take place i…
Integrated Principles of Zoology continues to be the leading text for the introductory zoology course. With the sixteenth edition, the authors bring a wealth of real experience as they describe the diversity of animal life and the fascinating adaptations that enable animals to inhabit so many ecological niches. The overall organization of this text has proven to work well to help students un…
One of my most exciting educational experiences was my introductory molecular biology course in graduate school. My professor used no textbook, but assigned us readings directly from the scientific literature. It was challenging, but I found it immensely satisfying to meet the challenge and understand, not only the conclusions, but how the evidence supported those conclusions. When I started t…
If you are a student coming to the study of vertebrates for the first time, several introductory remarks may be helpful, especially on how this textbook will support your work. First, the discipline of vertebrate biology is diverse and inclusive. It brings together themes from molecular biology, genes and genomes, evolution and embryology, biomechanics and experimental physiology, and it incorp…
Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action encourages instructors to improve student engagement and learning in introductory biology courses. The central idea of the Vision and Change report is that we need to turn away from teaching methods that reward students who memorize and regurgitate superficial knowledge. Instead, we need to empha¬size deeper learning that r…
The ocean fascinates people all over the world, including, of course, students enrolled in undergraduate marine biology courses. For many students, taking marine biology is the natural expres¬sion of an interest in marine life that began by visiting the shore, scuba diving, recreational fishing, aquarium keeping, or viewing one of the many superb television documentaries about the ocean. Many …
I have been an active researcher and teacher of ecology at the University of South Florida for 20 years. Most of my students are sophomores, juniors, or seniors who have completed their prerequisites in mathematics, chemistry, and basic biology classes. Many of these students want to connect what they learn in class to real-world problems. One of the biggest changes that we as a society face is…
Welcome to the study of genetics, the science of hered¬ity. Genetics is concerned primarily with understanding biological properties that are transmitted from parent to offspring. The subject matter of genetics includes hered-be molecular nature of the genetic material, the ways in which genes (which determine the characteristics of nisms) control life functions, and the distribution and behav…
Buku ini menyajikan pembahasan mengenai pengujian hipotesis, tes-tes statistik nonparamaetrik yang disesuaikan dengan rancangan penelitian di mana masing-masing tes itu cocok digunakan, dan juga dikemukakan contoh-contoh penerapannya dalam berbagai penelitian ilmu-ilmu sosial. Contoh-contoh penerapannya dalam berbagai penelitian ilmu-ilmu sosial. Contoh-contoh yang dikemukakan menunjukkan adany…
