Author Description

Today's introductory students need explanation, not just a list of vocabulary terms. Sandra Gottfried's clear writing style carefully develops biological concepts within a context of rich description to make the concepts more concrete. With this approach, students will be able to more easily apply biological principles to their everyday lives. A consistent emphasis on bioethical decision making will help students become informed citizens at personal, local, national, and international levels. Perhaps most importantly, by placing human biology in a context that is relevant and important to students, Human Biology will help them more enjoy the course.
