Adding another outstanding title to their impressive line of higher-ed lecture series', The Teaching Company's Biology: The Science of Life presents a comprehensive undergraduate level biology course, spread over 60 lectures, that covers the origins of life, cell structure, genetics, natural selection, and systems of the body (as well as corresponding similar functions in plants), concluding with a study of groups of diverse living systems and their interconnectivity in biological communities. Taught by Dr. Stephen Nowicki, professor of Biology at Duke University, whose curriculum reform of Introductory Biology has received national recognition, the instruction is absolutely first-rate. The course comes with a complete transcript, outline, glossary, a suggested bibliography, and more. College students will enjoy having this as a supplement for coursework, advanced placement high school students will appreciate having access to an undergraduate level course, and public library patrons will love exploring new topics without the rigor of deadlines or the financial burden of tuition. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
