Biology Laboratory Manual by Sylvia Mader

THE MADER/WINDELSPECHT STORY.
The twelfth edition of Biology is a traditional, comprehensive introductory biology textbook, with coverage from Cell Structure and Function to the Conservation of Biodiversity. The book, which centers on the evolution and diversity of organisms, is appropriate for any one- or two-semester biology course.
Biology, 12th Edition is the epitome of Sylvia Mader's expertise. Its concise, precise writing-style employs lucid language to present the material as succinctly as possible, enabling students--even non-majors--to master the foundational concepts before coming to class. Before You Begin, Following the Themes, and Thematic Feature Readings piece together the three major themes of the text--evolution, nature of science, and biological systems. Students are consistently engaged in these themes, revealing the interconnectedness of the major topics in biology.
Sylvia Mader typifies an icon of science education. Her dedication to her students, coupled with her clear, concise writing-style has benefited the education of thousands of students over the past three decades.
The integration of the text and digital world has been achieved with the addition of Dr. Michael Windelspecht's facility for the development of digital learning assets. For over ten years, Michael served as the Introductory Biology Coordinator at Appalachian State University--a program that enrolls over 4,500 non-science majors annually. Michael is the lead architect in the design of McGraw-Hill's Connect Plus and LearnSmart media content for the Mader series. These assets allow instructors to easily design interactive tutorial materials, enhance presentations in both online and traditional environments, and assess the learning objectives and outcomes of the course.

Sylvia S.Mader is the author of several well-known biology textbooks published by McGraw Hill. She holds degrees in Biology and Education from Bryn Mawr College, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Nova Southeastern University. She's taught at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts Bay Community College, Suffolk University, and Nathan Mayhew Seminars over the years. Her ability to communicate with science-averse students led to the creation of Inquiry into Life, which is now in its twelfth edition. Her books have become templates for those who write in the subject of biology because of her concise and interesting writing style.

Despite the fact that her writing schedule is constantly hectic, Dr. Mader enjoys visiting and exploring the biosphere's many habitats. Her numerous travels to the Florida Everglades and Caribbean coral reefs led in speeches to a variety of groups across the country. She's been to Alaska's tundra, the Canadian Rockies' taiga, Arizona's Sonoran Desert, and South America's and Australia's tropical rain forests. A photo safari to Kenya's Serengeti produced a handful of images for her texts.

When she traveled to the Galapagos Islands with a group of biology educators, she was ecstatic at the prospect of treading in Darwin's footsteps. Dr. Mader was also part of a group of biology educators who flew to China to meet with their Chinese colleagues and exchange views about modern-day biology education.
