Sylvia S. Mader has authored several nationally recognized biology texts published by McGraw-Hill. Educated at Bryn Mawr College, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Nova Southeastern University, she holds degrees in both Biology and Education. Over the years she has taught at University of Massachusetts, Lowell; Massachusetts Bay Community College; Suffolk University; and Nathan Mayhew Seminars. Her ability to reach out to science-shy students led to the writing of her first text, Inquiry into Life, which is now in its fifteenth edition. Highly acclaimed for her crisp and entertaining writing style, her books have become models for others who write in the field of biology.

Michael Windelspecht has taught introductory biology, genetics, and human genetics in the online, traditional, and hybrid formats at community colleges, universities, and military institutions. Educated at Michigan State University and the University of South Florida, he is currently an adjunct professor of biology at Appalachian State University. He served for over a decade as the Introductory Biology Coordinator at Appalachian State University, a program that enrolled over 4,500 students annually. As an author and editor, Dr. Windelspecht has published over 20 reference textbooks and multiple print and online lab manuals and has founded several science communication companies, including Ricochet Creative Productions, which develops and assesses new technologies for the science classroom.

Basic biological concepts and processes with a human emphasis. From the unique delivery of biology content, to the time tested art program, to the complete integration of the text with technology, Dr. Sylvia Mader has formed a teaching system that will both motivate and enable your students to understand and appreciate the wonders of all areas of biology. Inquiry into Life, 15th edition, emphasizes the application of all areas of biology to knowledge of human concerns, what the students are able to relate to. This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other non-majors texts with a unique approach, unparalleled art, and a straightforward, succinct writing style that has been acclaimed by both users and reviewers. In the 15th edition, the authors have focused on the concept of inquiry and a student's inherent desire to learn. To do this, they integrated a tested, traditional learning system with modern digital and pedagogical approaches designed to stimulate and engage today's student.

Dr. Mader enjoys taking time to visit and explore the various ecosystems of the biosphere. Her several trips to the Florida Everglades and Caribbean coral reefs resulted in talks she has given to various groups around the country. She has visited the tundra in Alaska, the taiga in the Canadian Rockies, the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, and tropical rain forests in South America and Australia. A photo safari to the Serengeti in Kenya resulted in a number of photographs for her texts. She was thrilled to think of walking in Darwin's foot steps when she journeyed to the Galapagos Islands with a group of biology educators. Dr. Mader was also a member of a group of biology educators who traveled to China to meet with their Chinese counterparts and exchange ideas about the teaching of modern-day biology.

As an educator, Dr. Michael Windelspecht has taught introductory biology, genetics, and human genetics in the online, traditional, and hybrid environments at community colleges, comprehensive universities, and military institutions. For over a decade he served as the Introductory Biology Coordinator at Appalachian State University, where he directed a program that enrolled over 4,500 students annually.

He received degrees from Michigan State University (BS, zoology-genetics) and the University of South Florida (PhD, evolutionary genetics) and has published papers in areas as diverse as science education, water quality, and the evolution of insecticide resistance. His current interests are in the analysis of data from digital learning platforms for the development of personalized microlearning assets and next generation publication platforms. He is currently a member of the National Association of Science Writers and several science education associations. He has served as the keynote speaker on the development of multimedia resources for online and hybrid science classrooms.

As an author and editor, Dr. Windelspecht has over 20 reference textbooks and multiple print and online lab manuals. He has founded several science communication companies, including Ricochet Creative Productions, which actively develops and assesses new technologies for the science classroom.

Learning is much more than reading in a textbook. That's why the 11th edition of Inquiry into Life is integrated closely with an Online Learning Center where students and professors alike will benefit. The Online Learning Center provides animations, online quizzing, case studies, and other tools that will help make teaching a little easier and learning a lot more fun.

UK-bound Sreelakshmi ma'am, a DK Publishing veteran was planning to travel light. She knew we loved books and would take great care of them, so she invited us to pick some. Sifting through a few pages of 'Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life, 1st Edition (1963)' I realized I was holding something very special.

BSCS High School Biology: Yellow Version is initiated by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. A word on BSCS. The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study produced three versions of a high school biology course initially, which were published in 1963 after three years of field testing. The three versions were: Blue, a molecular biology approach; Green, an ecology approach; and Yellow, a cellular biology approach. John A. Moore helmed a team of writers, artists, consultants, and reviewers that went into hundreds for the yellow version.

The challenge with the team was both how and what to teach in biology. They took a radical cellular biology approach to teaching and also included teaching 'evolution' something most of the textbooks were avoiding then.

The BSCS emphasis was treating and pitching science as 'investigation and inquiry'. The BSCS materials like Laboratory Blocks and the Invitations to Enquiry, as well as the Special Investigations, were integrated into a three-dimensional framework of ideas.

The book presents its inquiring facets through 3 parts. UNITY, DIVERSITY, and CONTINUITY. Never had such a profoundly simple trifurcation of a textbook except Albert Lehninger's Biochemistry, 1st edition (1975). Lehninger's Biochemistry, in my view, is the way a biochemistry, nay a science, nay a textbook should be written. Approachable and scholarly. That is for another post. Small trivia here. The chapter dealing with the Physiology of Cells on page 139 has a mention of Lehninger's work under additional reading!

An estimated 200,000,000 cases of malaria occurred in 1961. Is the prediction that malaria will be all but wiped out by 1980 a reasonable one? Suppose one of the volunteers who drank swamp water had contracted malaria. Would this fact alone have provided conclusive evidence of the cause of malaria? Why or why not? Is there really such a thing as pure science - that is, science with no possible practical use? Explain. How would the mechanists' approach to the problem of living things encourage experiment and observation? In what sense is a community a self-sufficient unit? Why would it have been necessary to postulate a process such as meiosis even if no evidence that it occurs was available? What are some of the unsolved problems of gene action? (In 1963!) What insights into the political, social, and technological problems presently facing man does the study of cultural evolution provide?
