You can take your students on a tour of the plant and animal kingdoms of the world-from the cellular to the ecological level-with the BioSource Videodisc. It features thousands of images and moving footage, and it's easy to incorporate into your course:
- Sensible arrangement. BioSource Videodisc is organized by phyla-logical for your course planning, and logical for your students as they learn the taxonomy of life forms.
- Supported by comprehensive materials. A reference manual provides a sequential listing of all images, their locations on the disk, and bar codes for instant accessibility. Common names and scientific names are supplied for all images.
- Visual impact. This videodisc showcases nearly 10,000 full-color illustrations, photos, and animations-including those from WCB/McGraw-Hill's leading life science texts. Twenty minutes of animated illustrations help students understand key concepts (see contents).
