Hill (Michigan State U.), Wyse (U. of Massachusetts, Amherst), and Anderson (Smith College) have written (and revised) this third-edition text to offer thorough coverage of the discipline--its central paradigms, concepts and data, and cutting edges--and its interconnections with other disciplines in biology. Organization is in six parts addressing fundamentals; food, energy, and temperature; integrating systems (e.g. neurons, synapses, sensory processes, reproduction); movement and muscle; oxygen, carbon dioxide, and internal transport; and water, salts, and excretion. Supportive illustrations, practical examples, study questions, references, and referrals to web resources enhance the presentation. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
