Synopsis
Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, 2/e, the most successful 1/e introductory biology text published in the last 10 years remains the only text written and illustrated from the ground up for non-majors. The “biological literacy” approach continues to be paramount―from the journalistic writing style and original, Krogh specific illustrations to the seamless integration of media. The second edition boasts 2 new chapters (Ch. 21 Animal Diversity and Ch. 31 on Animal Behavior), many exciting content updates (see below for details), new MediaTutors for students, as well as an expanded new media program for instructors that puts them in the driver's seat.

About the Author
David Krogh has been writing about science for 20 years in newspapers, magazines, books, and for educational institutions. He is the author of Smoking: The Artificial Passion, an account of the pharmacological and cultural motivations behind the use of tobacco, which was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Science and Technology. David has written on physics and on technology issues, but his primary interest has been in biology. He has written on the possible effect methane may be having on global warming; on early research into the role that growth factors may play in neural regeneration following injury; on the synthesis of naturally occurring neurotoxins and their possible use in heart disease; on the use of imported drugs to treat cancer; and on the relationship between alcohol and mood states in women. He has a particular interest in the history of biology and in the relationship between biological research and modern American culture. He holds bachelor's degrees in both journalism and history from the University of Missouri. In another facet of his writing career, he is the director of communications for the Academic Senate of the University of California.
