A free study partner that engages, investigates, and reinforces what you are learning from your textbook. You'll find the Essential Study Partner for Biology to be a complete, interactive student study tool packed with hundreds of animations and learning activities. From quizzes to interactive diagrams, you'll find that there has never been a better study partner to ensure the mastery of core concepts. Best of all, it's FREE with your new textbook purchase.

INTERACTIVE e-SOURCE is an exciting student resource that combines McGraw-Hill print, media, study, and web-based materials into one easy-to-use CD-ROM. This CD-ROM provides cutting-edge technology that accommodates all learning styles, and works as a complement to the printed text. This CD provides a truly non-linear experience by utilizing video, art, web-based, and other course materials to help students organize their study materials. Best of all, INTERACTIVE e-SOURCE will be free with your new textbook purchase.

The following features illustrate, in depth, the benefits of INTERACTIVE e-SOURCE.

This instructor's tool, containing more than 125 animations of important biological concepts and processes-found in the Essential Study Partner and Dynamic Human CD-ROMs-is perfect to support your lecture. The animations contained in this library are not limited to subjects covered in the text, but include an expansion of general life science topics.

This helpful CD-ROM contains ALL 1,500 photographs and illustrations from Biology. You'll be able to create interesting multimedia presentations with the use of these images, and students will have the ability to easily access the same images in their texts to later review the content covered in class.

Classroom Testing Software (MicroTest)

This helpful testing software-available in either Macintosh or Windows format-provides well-written and researched book-specific questions featured in the Test Item File.

Animations of key biological processes are available on seven videotapes. The animations bring visual movement to biological processes that are difficult to understand on the text page.

This interactive CD-ROM allows students to actively explore microbial structure and function. Great for self-study, preparation for class or exams, or for classroom presentations.

 The Dynamic Human CD-ROM,_Version 2.0

This guide to anatomy and physiology interactively illustrates the complex relationships between anatomical structures and their functions in the human body. Realistic, three-dimensional visuals are the premier feature of this exciting learning tool.

Enhance your classroom presentations with movement, sound, and motion of internal organs, cells, and systems. More than 80 premier 3-D animations covering all body systems from the outstanding Dynamic Human CD-ROM are included.

The Instructor's Manual is designed to assist instructors as they plan and prepare for classes using Biology. The Instructor's Manual contains both an extended lecture outline and lecture enrichment ideas, which together review in detail the contents of the text chapter. The technology section lists videos and computer software items that are available from outside sources and also those that are available from McGraw-Hill.

To ensure close coordination with the text, Dr. Sylvia S. Mader has written the Student Study Guide that accompanies the text. Each text chapter has a corresponding study guide chapter that includes a listing of objectives, study questions, and a chapter test. Answers to the study questions and the chapter tests are provided to give students immediate feedback.

The concepts in the study guide are the same as those in the text, and the study questions in the study guide are sequenced according to these concepts. Instructors who make their choice of concepts known to the students can thereby direct student learning in an efficient manner. Instructors and students who make use of the Student Study Guide should find that student performance increases dramatically.

Laboratory Manual

Dr. Mader has also written the Laboratory Manual to accompany Biology. With few exceptions, each chapter in the text has an accompanying laboratory exercise in the manual (some chapters have more than one accompanying exercise). In this way, instructors are better able to emphasize particular portions of the curriculum, if they wish. The 35 laboratory sessions in the manual are designed to further help students appreciate the scientific method and to learn the fundamental concepts of biology and the specific content of teach chapter. All exercises have been tested for student interest, preparation time, and feasibility. This lab manual can be customized to fit your lab course, contact your McGraw-Hill representative for details.

The Laboratory Resource Guide, available free to adopters, provides complete instructions for obtaining and preparing lab materials. A Laboratory Consultant service is also available through the Biology website to assist instructors using the Biology Laboratory Manual with any questions or problems.

This set of transparency acetates to accompany the text has been expanded to 650 full-color acetates.

This ancillary provides a boxed set of 100 color slides of photomicrographs and electron micrographs from the text.
