BSCS Biology: An Ecological ApproachKendall Hunt, 2002 - 777 pages [This program] encourages you to investigate how organisms and their behaviors are shaped by their environments. You will ask questions about what happens as organisms and their environments interact. You will be introduced to the big pictures showing how different local environments fit together to form patterns of life on Earth.-Foreword. |
