In this fifth edition of The Living World, George Johnson has added co-author Jonathan Losos, a leading evolutionary ecologist at Harvard University. The Living World is written to be an engaging and accessible learning tool with an emphasis on “how things work and why they happen the way they do.” This up-to-date textbook features a straightforward, clear writing style that incorporates appropriate analogies to enhance student learning. Also included in this edition is a wide variety of media assets to enhance the content of the textbook.

Among the many strengths of this fifth edition is its incorporation of new learning tools that are designed to inspire both students and instructors. Drs. Johnson and Losos have provided a more detailed integration of illustrated artwork to the text, as well as a new “Inquiry and Analysis” feature introducing students to data analysis and interpretation, key elements of the scientific method. The multi-media package for the new edition stretches students beyond the confines of the traditional textbook to include high interest video clips and animations of key biological concepts. <a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=jpg::::/sites/dl/free/0072986670/391058/spanishburst.jpg','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (17.0K)</a>
