Inquiry into Life is written for the introductory-level student
who would like to develop a working knowledge of
biology. While the text covers the whole field of general
biology, it emphasizes the application of this knowledge to
human concerns. Along with this approach concepts and
principles are stressed, rather than detailed, high-level scientific
data and terminology. Each chapter presents the topic
clearly, simply, and distinctly so that students can achieve a
thorough understanding of basic biology.
