Used widely in non-majors biology classes, this is the first textbook about evolution intended for the general reader. In clear, non-technical language, Zimmer explains the central concepts essential for understanding new advances in evolution, including natural selection, genetic drift, and sexual selection.

Both authors have created this textbook to show students how sedimentary strata serves geologists as a continuous record of Earth's history. Written for a first course in sedimentary geology or sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy (with only an introductory geology/physical geology course as a prerequisite).

The study guide provides students with key physical quantities and equations, misconceptions to avoid, questions and practice problems to gain further understanding of physics concepts, and quizzes to test student knowledge of chapters.

The study guide for Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers provides students with key physical quantities and equations, misconceptions to avoid, questions and practice problems to gain further understanding of physics concepts, and quizzes to test student knowledge of chapters.

This textbook shows readers how models of the genetic processes involved in evolution are made (including natural selection, migration, mutation, and genetic drift in finite populations), and how the models are used to interpret classical and molecular genetic data.

This new edition of On Liberty is the first to combine John Stuart Mill's influential work with a set of relevant primary sources by Mill and his contemporaries. Alan Kahan's introduction provides background on 19th century British politics and society; and discussion of the core issues that On Liberty addresses.
