This booklet describes how AIDS and related diseases are commonly spread so that readers can protect themselves and their friends against this debilitating and deadly
disease.

The Laboratory Manual, also written by Dr. Sylvia S. Mader, is a very resourceful accompaniment to Inquiry into Life. Most chapters in the text have 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. Every laboratory has been written to further help students appreciate the scientific method and to learn the fundamental concepts of biology and the specific content of each
chapter.

More extensive information regarding preparation is found in this helpful guide. The guide includes suggested sources for materials and supplies, directions for making up solutions and otherwise setting up the laboratory, expected results for the exercises, and suggested answers to all questions in the laboratory manual.

A set of 250 full-color transparency acetates accompanies Inquiry into Life. These acetates contain key illustrations from the text.

This ancillary provides 35mm slides of many photomicrographs and all electron micrographs in the text.

Key biological processes are available on this videotape series. The animations bring visual movement to biological processes that are difficult to understand on the text page.

A set of 50 transparency masters is available for use by instructors. These feature line art from the text with labels deleted for student quizzing or practice.

The Instructor's Manual, prepared by Dr. Richard John Schrock with input from Dr. Sylvia S. Mader, includes Chapter Overview Introductions, Learning Objectives, Annotated Chapter Outlines, Ninth Edition Changes, Technology Correlations to McGraw-Hill Technology, Technology Resources, Lecture Enrichment Ideas, Topics
and Projects, and Essay Questions.

The Test Item File, written by Dr. Richard John Schrock, includes more questions than any previous edition. Instructors can use the Classroom Testing Software to sort items in various ways, including by level and difficulty.

This excellent workbook offers students helpful suggestions for meeting the considerable challenges of a college science course. It offers tips on how to take notes, how to get the most out of laboratories, and how to overcome science anxiety.

Updated to include the latest advances, Schaum's Outlines: Biology, features detailed illustrations of complex biologic systems and processes, ranging from the smallest elements of life to primates. Hundreds of problems with fully explained solutions cut down on study time and make important points easy to remember.

This helpful testing software-in either Macintosh or Windows format-provides well-written and researched book-specific questions featured in the Test Item File. Items can be sorted in various ways, including by level and difficulty.

Basic Chemistry for Biology is a self-paced supplement for students who need additional material to understand the basic concepts of chemistry. This text leads biology students through fundamental chemical concepts.

This ancillary provides 34 critical thinking case studies that are designed to immerse students in the "process of science" and challenge them to solve problems in the same way biologists do. An answer key accompanies this workbook.

This interactive student study tool is packed with over 100 animations and more than 200 learning activities. From quizzes to interactive diagrams, your students will find that there has never been a more exciting way to study biology. A self-quizzing feature allows students to test their knowledge of a topic before moving on to a new module. Additional unit exams give students the opportunity to review an entire subject area. The quizzes and unit exams hyperlink students back to tutorial sections so they can easily review coverage for a more complete understanding. The text-specific Essential Study Partner CD-ROM supports and enhances the material presented in Inquiry into Life and has references in the text.

Designed specifically to help you with your individual course needs, Course Solutions will assist you in integrating your syllabus with Inquiry into Life, ninth edition, and state-of-the-art new media tools.

This helpful CD-ROM contains approximately 1,600 images and animations that can be easily imported into PowerPoint© to create multimedia presentations. Or, you may use the already prepared PowerPoint presentations.

Contains 125 animations of important biological concepts and processes for use in classroom presentations.

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.

These interactive CD-ROMs feature fascinating topics in biology. Both have 33 different modules that allow students to study a high-interest biological topic in an interactive format.

This CD-ROM contains a comprehensive collection of life science terms-including definitions
of their roots, prefixes, and suffixes-as well as audio pronunciations and illustrations.

Featuring ten simulations of the most common and important animal-based experiments ordinarily performed in introductory lab courses, the Virtual Biology Laboratory CD-ROM contains video, audio, and text to clarify complex physiological functions.

This software is a five-disk Macintosh tutorial that helps nonmajors master challenging biological concepts such as basic chemistry, photosynthesis, and cellular respiration.

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.

Before you begin, spend a little time looking over the next few pages. They provide a quick guide to the learning tools found throughout the text that have been designed to enhance your understanding of biology.

This edition of Inquiry into Life places special emphasis on the scientific process. This added focus was accomplished in four ways:

Almost every illustration is new or revised. Icons have been added to the cell, animal, and biosphere chapters to help relate a topic to the big picture. And, new "Visual Focus" illustrations give a visual overview of key topics.

Each chapter of Inquiry into Life ends with a Bioethical Issue reading. No other general biology book covers as many issues or devotes as much space to this growing area of biology.

The major headings are repeated in the summary because it is organized according to the major sections of the chapter. The summary helps students review the important concepts and topics discussed in each chapter.

A matching exercise ensures that students understand the chapter's terms before proceeding to the next chapter. Answers are listed in Appendix A.

This section allows students to test their ability to fulfill the study objectives. Answers are listed in Appendix A.

In this section, students answer questions related to concepts they have learned to matters of scientific concern. Answers are listed in Appendix A.

These questions, which are page-referenced, review important chapter material. Answers are available to instructors via the Online Learning Center.
