Book description


  Regardless of profession, citizens are frequently called upon to make health and environmental decisions. There­fore, it would not be appropriate for a college graduate to lack a basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, genetics, and biotechnology. Students should also understand how the human population can become more fully integrated into the biosphere. Further, every educated individual should appreciate how scientists think and know how research is properly conducted. Wise choices require ade­quate knowledge and can help ensure our continued sur­vival as individuals and as a species.
