Biology
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 daily basis, to exciting new discoveries and insights that, in many cases, were beyond our predictions even a few short years ago. It is our task, as instructors, not only to make these findings available to our students, but to enlighten students as to why these discoveries are important to their lives and society. At the same time, we must provide students with a firm foundation in those core principles on which biology is founded, and in doing so, provide them with the background to keep up with the many discoveries still to come. In this text, we integrate a tested, traditional learning system with modern digital and pedagogical approaches designed to stimulate and engage today's student.
The authors of the text identified several goals that guided them through the revision of Biology, Eleventh Edition:
1. build upon the strengths of the previous editions of the text,
2. introduce themes that connect the content of the text across multiple chapters,
3. deploy new pedagogical elements, including multimedia assets, to increase student interaction with the text,
4. develop a new series of digital assets designed to engage the modern student and provide assessment of learning
outcomes.
