This approach has proven so effective, that instructors using the book report a dramatic increase in the number of students who read the assignments and come to class ready to participate.</p><p>This updated new edition features new stories, updated scientific coverage, and enhanced <b>Infographics</b>--the book's signature visual study tool that combines memorable images, step-by-step callouts, and now, questions that foster scientific literacy.
