About This Book

Clear, engaging, and visually compelling, Starr and McMillan's HUMAN BIOLOGY teaches you the core concepts of human biology and prepares you to make well-informed decisions in your life. Each chapter opens with an interesting application that highlights the relevance of biology and motivates the study of the topic. You then learn basic concepts which help you think critically about these issues. Useful learning aids, such as section-ending "Take-Home Messages" and a running glossary help you understand key concepts. New "Focus on Human Impact" boxes and chapter-ending "Your Future" and "Explore on Your Own" sections demonstrate the impact and personal relevance of the content on your life.
