BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS supplies an 800 page, introductory issues-oriented approach with enormous instructional power. Starr supports mastery throughout while encouraging the critical thinking students need as citizens, voters, parents, and consumers. The "Impacts, Issues" and "How Would You Vote?" features new to this edition make biology come alive. An "Impacts, Issues" case study opens each chapter focusing on a biology-related societal issue.

The text balances concepts with applications. An application vignette opens each chapter, adding a real-world perspective to the content. Clear conceptual organization within chapters offers flexibility in assigning text material to fit course requirements.
Focus On essays include information on recent advances and current events in biology.
More than 100 boxed essays in-any new to this edition on medical, environmental, and social issues offer insight and background on high-interest topics.
