Biology Summary

Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, The Custom Core by David Krogh

For courses in Introductory Biology for non-majors.

Every aspect of Biology: A Guide to the Natural World was written and illustrated to guide non-majors through biological concepts and develop their sense of scientific literacy. It has come to be known as a book students enjoy reading. The Third Edition builds upon Krogh's popular strengths-an accessible and engaging writing style, an original illustration program, and a complete instructor and student resource package.

About David Krogh

David Krogh has been writing about science for 20 years in newspapers, magazines, books, and for educational institutions. He is the author of Smoking: The Artificial Passion, an account of the pharmacological and cultural motivations behind the use of tobacco, which was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Science and Technology. David has written on physics and on technology issues, but his primary interest has been in biology. He has written on the possible effect methane may be having on global warming; on early research into the role that growth factors may play in neural regeneration following injury; on the synthesis of naturally occurring neurotoxins and their possible use in heart disease; on the use of imported drugs to treat cancer; and on the relationship between alcohol and mood states in women. He has a particular interest in the history of biology and in the relationship between biological research and modern American culture. He holds bachelor's degrees in both journalism and history from the University of Missouri.
