Visualizing Human Biology results from a partnership between Wiley and the rich resources of The National Geographic Society. It is designed for introductory courses in Human Biology and emphasizes the visual representation of key concepts covered in the course, using photographs, diagrams, and graphics in combination with an engaging and clear narrative. The text stresses the role of the human in the environment throughout, ensuring that topics such as evolution, ecology and chemistry are introduced in a non-threatening and logical fashion for the reader. Each chapter includes three types of boxed material – Health, Wellness, and Disease; I Wonder…; and Ethics and Issues – which make the connections between the biology being studied and real-world applications and issues.
Visualizing Human Biology combine Wiley’s expertise in creating top quality textbooks with rich visual resources such as photographs, maps, illustrations, diagrammatic art, and videos, and the content and teaching expertise of new and current authors and unique partnerships. In this book, we rely heavily on the integration of these visuals with text to elucidate concepts for students and solidify their understanding of them. The goal for Visualizing Human Biology is to help students understand the world around them and interpret what they see in a meaningful, accurate and exciting way. The content, design and layout of the titles take advantage of the full capacity in which students’ process information – visual as well as verbal.
