Human Biology

Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues, Fourth Edition sparks interest among non-science students by encouraging them to connect basic biology concepts to real-world issues that are relevant to their own lives. As an award winning teacher, author Michael Johnson demystifies the scientific process and the concepts of human biology using a narrative style to tell a story with a student-friendly approach. Liposuction, antioxidants, and the black market for bones are just a few of the timely topics that are woven throughout each chapter to engage students in learning the basics of human biology. Michael Johnson's jargon-free writing style and expanded coverage of current issues are supported by dozens of exciting new illustrations and photos that further engage student interest, while unique "Try It Yourself" boxes and the accompanying InterActive Physiology (R) for Human Biology CD-ROM promote active learning.

Human Biology's expanded supplements package features InterActive Physiology (R) for Human Biology, which provides a wealth of outstanding animations, activities, and self-testing that can be used in lectures or as a study tool outside of the classroom. Supplements include the new Instructor Media Manager package that organizes all instructor media resources into one convenient, chapter-by-chapter resource.
