An introduction to the science of biology for nonmajors and the most basic course for biology majors, this course gives a broad overview of modern biology that should be equally useful to those needing a foundation for later work in biology, health sciences, the environmental sciences, or to those simply wanting to understand and participate more intelligently in a human society more and more influenced by biological discoveries. It presents the essentials of most of the principal areas of biology: ecology, evolution, genetics, anatomy, physiology, cell biology and molecular biology.
