Free download Inquiry into Life (17th edition) by Sylvia S. Mader & Michael Windelspecht in pdf.
Dr. Sylvia Mader’s book, Inquiry into Life, was initially created to engage students who tend to shy away from science. Today, it stands as a fundamental resource in introductory biology education. The book was built on the principle that presenting science from a human perspective, along with relatable applications, enhances the material’s relevance for students.
Remarkably, more than 40 years after the first edition was published, this approach to relevance-focused education continues to align with national efforts aimed at improving scientific literacy among the general public.
The past year has highlighted the urgent need for society to enhance scientific literacy while fostering an understanding and appreciation of scientific thinking and the critical roles scientists play in shaping culture. Challenges such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic underscore this necessity.
The front cover of this book was selected to symbolize humanity’s role as stewards of the planet, reflecting both the potential for positive influence and the capacity for harm to all life on Earth. Every organism featured on the cover has been genetically altered by humans, whether through molecular technologies like CRISPR or through selective breeding.
As educators, the authors of this text understand the needs of our colleagues in developing curricula that increasingly focus on relevancy and delivery in the online environment. McGraw Hill Education has long been an innovator in the development of digital resources, and the Inquiry into Life text is at the forefront of the integration of these technologies into the science classroom.
In this edition, that involved:
- Making the content more relevant to the current generation of students by updating chapter openers and themed readings to focus on issues and topics important to the discussions that students are hearing in the world around them.
- Integrating relevancy modules to supplement the format of a traditional textbook and provide another avenue for students to engage with the content.
- Redesigning the artwork to ensure it transitions to the digital world of mobile devices.
- Developing a new Featured Reading Series, The Diversity of Science, to emphasize the contributions of unrecognized scientists to our understanding of biology.
