Biology for the Informed Citizen by Donna M. Bozzone and Douglas S.
Green, more than any other non-science majors biology book, helps
student connect the concepts of biology to the consequences of
biology - the consequences that students can and should see in
every facet of their lives, if only trained to identify them. This
text aims to teach the concepts of biology, evolution, and the
process of science so students can apply their knowledge in their
everyday lives as informed consumers and users of scientific
information.
The book's Cases, Concepts, and Consequences approach connects the
concepts of biology to the consequences of biology through the
text's major themes - the process of science and evolution - which
help to show students not only "what we know" but also "how we know
what we know."
Cases: An engaging biological issue opens every chapter and is
revisited throughout
Concepts: Foundational biological ideas are introduced within the
context of important cultural and social issues
Consequences: The concepts and consequences of biology are
connected to enhance students' abilities to make informed decisions
about biological issues
This version of the text does not feature Physiology. For more
information about Biology for the Informed Citizen with Physiology,
please search for ISBN 9780195381993.
Features
*Rich Case Studies open each chapter to highlight an issue or
challenge with biological significance and focuses on the
consequences of biology. These cases motivate the material in each
chapter and demonstrate ways in which conceptual understanding of
biology can be used to make informed decisions about important
issues. Cases in the book include "Sickle Cell Disease, Malaria,
and Human Evolution" (Chapter 4), "The Infidelity Gene" (Chapter
1), and "Lactose Intolerance and the Geographic Variation of Human
Traits" (Chapter 9).
*The Process of Science is also demonstrated throughout the text in
two types of short, high-interest essays in each chapter:
--Scientist Spotlight essays show the process of biology with
biographical information and historical context about the real
individuals whose scientific discoveries have made tremendous
impacts on all of our lives. Scientists profiled include Rosalind
Franklin (Chapter 4) and Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (Chapter
9).
--How Do We Know? essays look beyond memorizing facts to get
students thinking critically about how we know what we know. These
essays include "Pedigree Analysis" (Chapter 4) and "Constructing
Evolutionary Trees" (Chapter 9).
*Real -World Application essays help students learn and reinforce
biological concepts. The intersection of global issues, ethics, and
social responsibility with biological research, ideas, and
knowledge help students understand our culture in a fuller context
through two types of essays:
--Life Application essays, like "The Effectiveness of Genetic
Screening" (Chapter 4) and "Public Acceptance of Evolution"
(Chapter 9) present specific real-world examples illustrating how
biological knowledge can be used to help individuals and society
make informed decisions.
--Technology Connection essays like "Electrophoresis" (Chapter 4)
and "Genbank" (Chapter 9) describe specific methods and tools of
scientific research are being used to shape the world in which we
live.
*Every chapter in Biology for the Informed Citizen includes
carefully crafted pedagogical tools to help students learn and
reinforce biological concepts.
--Chapter Learning Objectives at the start of each chapter (based
on Bloom's taxonomy) correspond to the main headings and provide a
framework for the key concepts to help students focus on what is
most important.
--Questions-Based Chapter Titles and Section Headings model the
spirit of inquiry at the heart of the scientific process.
--Simple and Clear Illustrations in each chapter help students
visualize important concepts. The art program uses a consistent
format to help guide students through complex processes.
--Marginal Glossary defines key terms in the margins of the pages
on which the terms appear, so students can easily find definitions
and explanations when preparing for exams.
--Chapter Summaries at the end of each chapter are organized around
the chapter learning objectives, numbered chapter sections, and
highlight and reinforce the main concepts.
--Review Questions at the end of each chapter offer multiple choice
and short-answer, asking students to recall core information
presented in the chapter. Answers to the multiple choice questions
appear at the end of the book.
--The Thinking Citizenadvanced questions at the end of each chapter
ask students to think critically and analytically about the main
chapter concepts.
--The Informed Citizen advanced questions at the end of each
chapter ask students to apply biological concepts to relevant
cultural and social issues.
*The book is written with the foundational concepts that comprise a
standard non-science majors biology course but it is organized on a
"need-to-know" basis, placing biological topics within the context
of important cultural and social issues, but without excessive
detail, organized into four units.
--Unit 1: The Scientific Study of Life
--Unit 2: Reproduction, Inheritance, and Evolution
--Unit 3: Interacting with Nature
*Biology in Perspective sections place the chapter concepts in
larger context.
This study examines the complicated legacy of Stalinism in the
twentieth century. The descent of the Russian Revolution into
Stalinism has given rise to an oft-accepted truism that revolutions
are like Saturn and will devour their own children. For
anticommunists, Stalinism is condemned as a "bolt from blue,"
whether an insidious contagion, Big Brother, or totalitarian reason
that socialism cannot escape from. On the other end, Communists and
their fellow-travelers have seen Stalinism as a force of historical
necessity and the only way for the working class to reach a
communist society. Both these twin camps accept a Dialectic of
Saturn where Stalinism, whether for evil or good, is the
preordained fate of all socialist revolutions. However, there is
another position that views Stalinism as the product of material
circumstance and class struggle. This position was represented by
Leon Trotsky in his seminal work The Revolution Betrayed. In
contrast to those who accept a mystical dialectic of Saturn,
Trotsky argued that Stalinism can be rationally explained and was
not inevitable outcome of socialism.
