A balanced and accessible introduction to the engagements that feminist scientists and science scholars undertake with a variety of biological sciences.

CD-ROM includes animations, living graphs, biochemistry in 3D structure tutorials.

Written for intermediate-level undergraduates pursuing any science or engineering major, Physical Models of Living Systems helps students develop many of the competencies that form the basis of the new MCAT2015. The only prerequisite is first-year physics. With the more advanced "Track-2" sections at the end of each chapter, the book can be used in graduate-level courses as well.

Written to the highest achievement standard, this visually engaging series brings Biology to life with clear language and relevant examples. New case studies and Scientific Literacy boxes in every chapter help students to connect with the study of Biology to the real world.

Nelson Biology 12 thoroughly equips students with the independent leaning, problem-solving, and research skills that are essential to successfully meet the entrance requirements for university 0programs. This resource offers students an opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems, and balances the teaching and learning of theoretical concepts with concrete applications in the areas of metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, evolution, and population dynamics.Features & Benefits:• Enhanced Text Design is similar to what students will experience with first-year college/university texts• Self-contained and self-explanatory lessons• A variety of self-evaluation and self-marking strategies• Placement of lab activities at the end of chapters parallels the formal separation of theory and labs in university courses• Extension and weblink strategies provide opportunities to hone individual research and study skills• A wealth of diagnostic, pre-testing activities• Regular practice, assessment, and remediation opportunities• Extends the scope and diversity of student learning through web access strategies and digitally rendered program components• Ensures seamless articulation with existing Grade 11 Biology resources
