Each chapter opens with a "Science through the Day" essay. These essays serve to show how science is a part of the world around students every day. One essay discusses the aspects of science encountered by students in the Gym and others speak of experiences that the student is familiar with.
-
New examples and illustrations throughout the book not only make it easier for students to understand the concepts, but also updates the text considerably to talk about the most current subjects in science and everyday life. Most of the Science News articles found in the text are new to this edition.

New Companion Website. Developed and expanded web resources extending resources beyond the textbook. A variety of assets for both students and instructors to learn more about the sciences. Sample activities include practice tests and quizzing, web links, animated resources and critical thinking materials.
