Intended for Introductory Biology courses, every aspect of Biology: A Guide to the Natural World was written and illustrated to guide students through biological concepts and develop their sense of scientific literacy. It is recognized as a book that students enjoy reading. The Fourth Edition builds upon the text’s popular strengths–an accessible and engaging writing style, up-to-date content, a clear illustration program, a robust media package, and a complete selection of instructor and student resources.
This text now includes access to MasteringBiology®. All resources previously found on mybiology are now located within the Study Area of MasteringBiology.
David Krogh has been writing about science for 24 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. In 1994, he began work on what would become Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, and in 1999 he completed its first edition. Since then, he has produced three more editions of A Guide to the Natural World along with a second textbook, A Brief Guide to Biology. He holds bachelor’s degrees in journalism and history from the University of Missouri.
