Biology the Easy Way

"Biology the Easy Way" presents an up-to-date account of the principles and concepts of modern biology. This book is divided into sixteen chapters, each representing an area of specialization in the field of biology. In each chapter, the content discussion is accompanied by carefully placed line drawings of the organisms, organs, structures or processes under discussion. Wherever possible, summary material has been presented in tabular form, providing a quick means of study and review of a given topic. Each chapter in "Biology the Easy Way" provides special study aids that are designed to enhance the learning and understanding of the biological principles or concepts under study. Because scientific discovery and invention cannot be divorced from the history of human life on earth, a Chronology of Famous Names has been included in each chapter. Another study aid included in this book is a listing headed "Words for Study." The important words of biology introduced in the chapter are listed for review. At the end of each chapter are at least 30 questions designed to assess the reader's grasp of some important facts and concepts of biology; an answer key is provided to help with self-evaluation. Also, under the heading "Think and Discuss" a group of four or five questions invites reflection and discussion on the important points covered in the chapter. Some topics include: characteristics of life, cells, reproduction, heredity and genetics, principles of evolution, disease, food and nutrition, and ecology and conservation.

TIME Magazine, NBC s Today Show, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Associated Press have written about David Smith and the great success his curriculum has brought to classrooms across the country.

He was with Tom Snyder Productions when they first published Mapping the World by Heart in 1992.
