Understanding Biology Through Evolution

This is the second edition of a fast, effective tutorial to help students in an introductory level college biology course master the fundamentals -- and get the best possible grade. Written especially for nonmajors, the clear, jargon-free explanations of core biology concepts are accompanied throughout with helpful illustrations and tables. The author's objective is to illustrate how the concept of evolution is the key to understanding the major subdisciplines of biology, including genetics, ecology, biodiversity, and the structure and function of plants and animals.
