Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment - Softcover

Jones and Bartlett Publishers is pleased to announce the acquisition of Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment, Second Edition by Daniel B. Chiras, formerly available from West Publishing Company. Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment stresses the relevance of human biology to students' lives and the need to apply recently acquired knowledge and skills. This technique captures the attention of the student and encourages him or her to make practical use of the information located within the text. Throughout Human Biology: Health, Homeostasis, and the Environment, two themes prevail: homeostasis and critical thinking. These themes provide a context for learning and utilizing chapter material in real-world situations. Ideal for one-term courses in human biology, the second edition includes the newest information available and provides a more natural organization of genetics, circulatory, and evolutionary materials.
