Biology Exploring the Diversity of Life, 5th Canadian Edition

Biology: Exploring the Diversity of Life, Fifth Canadian Edition, is uniquely designed for today’s Canadian biology students. This introductory biology text captures students’ imaginations and evokes a sense of curiosity about the vast world of biology. In the middle of the book, students will find The Purple Pages, which contains basic scientific information on the chemical, physical, and environmental foundations of biology. This section immediately immerses students in the subject and can be easily referenced when needed. The authors have taken great care to encourage critical thinking and learning with engaging visuals and by integrating the material across the book’s chapters. Biology: Exploring the Diversity of Life conveys the principles of biology while helping students unravel their own misconceptions (Concept Fix features) and explore the topical relevance (Why It Matters features) and dynamic nature of biology (Research Method and Experimental Research figures), all within a uniquely Canadian and international context. This edition has been extensively updated to include context from Indigenous researchers to provide a more open, decolonized, ”multi-science” perspective that acknowledges all Indigenous Peoples as having scientific knowledge of the natural world through their own cultural lens.
