Succeed in biology with LABORATORY MANUAL FOR GENERAL BIOLOGY! Through hands-on-lab experience, this biology laboratory manual reinforces biology concepts to help you get a better grade. Exercises, pre-lab questions, and post-lab questions enhance your understanding and make lab assignments easy to complete and easy to comprehend.

Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts is a comprehensive manual appropriate for introductory biology lab courses. This edition is designed for courses populated by nonmajors or for majors courses where abbreviated coverage is desired. Based on the two-semester version of Exploring Biology in the Laboratory, 3e, this Core Concepts edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities with abbreviated coverage of the biodiversity of life. These exercises emphasize the unity of all living things and the evolutionary forces that have resulted in, and continue to act on, the diversity that we see around us today.

Concepts in Biology is a short, student-friendly text organized in a traditional manner. It has very little botany and presents a human-oriented approach to the animal unit. Professors and students appreciate the low cost of this title, and that it is written for students who are not biology majors.

Authors Kenneth Miller and Joseph Levine continue to set the standard for clear, accessible writing and up-to-date content that engages student interest. Prentice Hall Biology utilizes a student-friendly approach that provides a powerful framework for connecting the key concepts a biology. Students explore concepts through engaging narrative, frequent use of analogies, familiar examples, and clear and instructional graphics. Whether using the text alone or in tandem with exceptional ancillaries and technology, teachers can meet the needs of every student at every learning level.

Synthetic Biology: A Lab Manual is the first manual for laboratory work in the new and rapidly expanding field of synthetic biology. Aimed at non-specialists, it details protocols central to synthetic biology in both education and research. In addition, it provides all the information that teachers and students from high schools and tertiary institutions need for a colorful lab course in bacterial synthetic biology using chromoproteins and designer antisense RNAs. As a bonus, practical material is provided for students of the annual international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition. The manual is based upon a highly successful course at Sweden's Uppsala University and is coauthored by one of the pioneers of synthetic biology and two bioengineering postgraduate students.An inspiring foreword is written by another pioneer in the field, Harvard's George Church: “Synthetic biology is to early recombinant DNA as a genome is to a gene. Is there anything that SynBio will not impact? There was no doubt that the field of SynBio needed ‘A Lab Manual’ such as the one that you now hold in your hands.”

Business Communication is the newest Business Communication textbook that was created with students and professors needs in mind. A unique approach to a hands-on course, written by the co-authors of Business Communication: Making Connections in a Digital World, 12/e, provides both student and instructor with all the tools needed to navigate through the complexity of the modern business communication environment.
