521			_aOverview : Renowned for its clear writing style and unparalleled visuals, Starr/Evers/Starr’s trendsetting BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, 10TH EDITION applies exclusive National Geographic content to engage students and emphasize how biology is an ongoing endeavor carried out by a diverse community of scientists. Each chapter explores core concepts aligned with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) initiative to help students master associated learning objectives. By continuously challenging students to question what they read and to apply the concepts they learn, this edition and the accompanying MindTap digital resources hone critical thinking skills as students gain scientific literacy. MindTap now includes adaptive Mastery Training that provides distributed practice and builds long-term memory. MindTap options are available. Features : MindTap is the most engaging and easily personalized solution in Biology. The clear and engaging learning path focuses students and guides them through their course. Conceptual exercises enable students to go beyond rote memorization and develop understanding. Adaptive Mastery Training in MindTap provides distributed practice that helps students master key terms, deepen their understanding, and build long-term memory of core concepts. Exceptionally clear explanations combine with superb artwork, stunning photographs, and engaging narratives. Each chapter is divided into a series of concepts, each presented on a single page or two facing pages, so students can easily assimilate information. This edition includes exclusive National Geographic Society content such as profiles of National Geographic Explorers actively engaged in making the world a better place. "Engage" boxes reinforce "Vision and Change" core competencies and help students understand how chapter concepts relate to real-world issues. Each "Engage" box profiles a researcher who is actively addressing real-world problems related to the concepts presented in the chapter. Every chapter concludes with an "Application" feature that discusses a current societal issue, connecting biology with information that is currently circulating in the news or on social media. "Data Analysis" activities strengthen students' analytical skills as they work with real data from contemporary research articles. A set of questions challenges the student to engage in quantitative reasoning. An on-page glossary supports reading comprehension. Designed to provide immediate assistance to students having difficulty assimilating what can be an overwhelming number of new terms, the on-page running glossary (with non-phonemic pronunciation new to this edition) offers most definitions in slightly different wording from the text. Having all terms in one place is also useful as a study guide.
