Check Your Understanding questions have been added after each major section to help review the main ideas just discussed. • NEW! Cengage Learning’s Physiology CourseMate brings course concepts to life with interactive learning, study, and exam preparation tools that support ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY, 2E, International Edition. ANIMAL BIOLOGY ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY, 2E From Genes to Organisms, International Edition Lauralee Sherwood, West Virginia University; Hillar Klandorf, West Virginia University; Paul Yancey, Whitman College Promoting a conceptual understanding and taking an integrative systems approach, ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY, 2E, International Edition illustrates the individual organization as well as the collective interdependence of each complete physiological system. The text begins with chapters on integrative principles and on the genomic, molecular, and cellular basis of physiology, then proceeds to chapters on individual organ systems. For each organ system, evolutionary forces as well as current cellular and molecular research are discussed. To clearly illustrate system interdependence, each systems chapter contains a summary, titled “Making Connections.” To make the text even more accessible to students, the authors also incorporate a comparative approach to animal physiology, examining the basic physiology of many vertebrate and nonvertebrate animals as well as their primary diseases and ability to respond to environmental changes. NEW TO THIS EDITION • NEW! A thorough review of the most recent published literature led to the inclusion of the most current, cutting-edge scientific information. In addition, more details on evolutionary and comparative aspects of physiological adaptations have been included. • NEW! Over 90% of the art has been upgraded 2 FEATURES • ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY, 2E, International Edition’s primary organization is according to body system, but it also provides coverage of cellular, molecular, and genomic topics in early chapters, and incorporates this information throughout the text as a basis for understanding organ function. • Each chapter includes an overview of major evolutionary events and selective forces. All topics have been placed in a biological context that melds the proximate (mechanistic) approach of traditional physiology with the evolutionary explanations behind them, in order to discuss not only the power of natural selection, but also the often seemingly illogical details of life. • The authors include both analogies and frequent references to everyday experiences to help students relate to the physiology concepts presented. • Special breakout boxes pique the interest of students and encourage critical thinking, including “Molecular Biology and Genomics,” “Beyond the Basics,” “Challenges and Controversies,” “Unanswered Questions,” and “A Closer Look at Adaptation.” CONTENTS SECTION I: FOUNDATIONS.1.

H. Yong; James Wang Wei; Joanne Y. T. Khew; Sheue Chiou Rong This book is the first to profile the unique epiphytic plant communities found in Singapore. The canopies of tropical trees are often festooned with luxuriant masses of delicate ferns, orchids and mistletoes; these veritable aerial gardens are one of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet. Yet, despite their prevalence in tropical urban landscapes, many of these fascinating aerial plants remain unappreciated and misunderstood.The first section of this book provides a concise scientific introduction to the biology of epiphytes and mistletoes, including their taxonomy, life-cycles, adaptive strategies and interactions with their hosts and arboreal fauna. Biology students will appreciate the clear and systematic treatise of the natural history of these two groups of aerial plants, while horticulturalists will benefit from the balanced discussion on suitable management approaches for these plants.The second section serves as a field guide for identifying all of the common epiphytes and mistletoes found in Singapore. Copious illustrations of both vegetative and fertile characters are provided to enable nature lovers and plant hobbyists to confidently identify all the common species, including epiphytic ferns, orchids, hoyas, dischidias, rubiaceous ant-plants and mistletoes. We hope that landscape architects and private gardeners will also find in this section plant selection ideas for more sustainable greening initiatives, and be inspired to further explore the substantial aesthetic and conservation values of www.cengageasia.com these charming plants. FEATURES • Provides a comprehensive reference for the identification and management of epiphytes and mistletoes in Singapore. • Provides basic information on the biology of these plants, with a focus on colour photo profiles of all common species. • Beautifully illustrated with large format colour photographs, rendering the overall impression less text-heavy and more readable. • Serves as an accessible and informative field reference guide for horticultural professionals, as well as the general public.

The authors outline specific environmental issues and provide the scientific background to enable students to understand each issue. In order to find and apply solutions to these problems, they help students see that the problems are not insurmountable and that something can be done to achieve a sustainable future. The modular chapters provide full descriptions of each of the major environmental problems with real stories about what people are doing to tackle the resulting challenges. Overall, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS: A MODULAR APPROACH, International Edition offers great flexibility for instructors and provides students with tools for building a sustainable future. FEATURES CONTENTS • The highly focused issues and solutions approach guides students through each module. Beginning with “Why should you care,” the chapter progresses from “What are the problems” to “What can be done” to “A look to the future” before concluding with “What would you do?” • This is a modular textbook, with 14 of the total 15 modules each devoted entirely to a specific environmental issue. The first module is an introduction to science and sustainability concepts that form a foundation for the course. The fundamental concepts that apply in each module are raised again and applied in practice as they 16 pertain to each individual issue. • Frequent reviews of the material include “Let’s Review” question lists placed at regular intervals throughout each module. These lists give students a chance to review and reinforce material immediately after they have studied it. • Critical thinking activities appear toward the end of each module and allow students to apply the material they have studied. These activities are designed to get students to re-read some part of the module, to think about it, and to apply it in some way to their own daily living. • Engaging features illustrate key concepts and provide encouragement. “For Instance” tells a real-world story about how environmental issue has affected a particular area or group of people in the world. “Making a Difference” features a particular individual or group of people who have succeeded in some effort to find more sustainable ways of living or of doing business. • Reinforcing important concepts, the “Key Idea” presents a brief summary statement of a major concept that students will take away from their reading of the module. “Consider This” offers a brief statement about some impressive fact or statistic that will stay with students and stimulate their thinking as they read. • Aplia for Environmental Science helps students learn and understand key concepts via focused assignments and active learning opportunities that include randomized, automatically graded questions, exceptional text interaction, and immediate feedback. 1.

Noyd; Jerome A. Krueger; Kendra M. Hill BIOLOGY: ORGANISMS AND ADAPTIONS, International Edition captures your students’ passion and excitement for the living world! The authors build on the connection we all have to nature to inspire students to engage with biology in the same way they do when visiting zoos, aquariums, or just taking a walk in the park. Each chapter uses fascinating organisms such as blue whales, salamanders, and redwood trees to present, organize, and integrate biological concepts. Merging the excitement and passion for living things with an understanding of biological concepts, this highly accessible and practical approach to the study of biology produces students who are scientifically literate and connective in their thinking. FEATURES • Various animals and plants provide the context for presenting the core concepts in biology. Each chapter opens with an organism that illustrates the key concepts in the chapter. For example, the blue whale is used in Chapter 1 to present and develop concepts that include the characteristics of life, evolution, biomolecules, and scientific research methods. The featured organism and others also appear throughout the chapter. • Stunning chapter opening illustrations feature the “starring” organism used in the chapter. These original art pieces set the stage for the pedagogical use of organisms in the chapter’s narrative. Additionally, art thumbnails are used to introduce students to the topics covered in each individual section. 66 • The consistent use of organisms allows for repetition and reinforcement of major concepts. Unlike traditional approaches that often present a concept early and expect students to recall it many chapters later, the approach reinforces processes and adaptations among different organisms throughout the book such as meiosis in animal, plant, and fungal systems. • At the end of each section, “Check and Apply Your Understanding” questions ask students five questions from the recall level to the application level of understanding. A running glossary is included to assist students in learning the “language of biology.” • The end of chapter suite of tools helps develop question-asking skills and scientific thinking. Self-Quiz questions give students the opportunity to quickly test their knowledge of the chapter content. Applying the Concepts problems provide opportunities for students to use their knowledge in a new context. Data Analysis exercises help students understand the information contained in graphs and tables drawn from actual scientific papers and gives them the chance to apply critical thinking skills. The “Question Generator” presents an intriguing aspect of the biology of an organism and then guides students to develop questions leading to a hypothesis that can be tested, thus giving them the opportunity to think like a scientist. • Aplia for Biology helps students learn and understand key concepts via focused assignments and active learning opportunities that include randomized, automatically graded questions, exceptional text interaction, and immediate feedback. Each set of problems is accompanied by Learning Objectives that give the instructor the opportunity to measure Learning Outcomes. • Instructor resources are available to transition to the organisms-first approach. Chapter by chapter and section by section guides detail exactly where key concepts are covered. The resources enable instructors to clearly meet their course-specific outcomes.

Russell, Reed College; Paul E. Hertz, Barnard College; Beverly McMillan Help students think and engage like scientists! BIOLOGY: THE DYNAMIC SCIENCE, Third Edition, allows students to develop a deep understanding of the core concepts in Biology and builds a strong foundation for future courses. The authors explain complex ideas clearly and describe how biologists collect and interpret evidence to test hypotheses about the living world. Russell, Hertz, and McMillan spark students’ curiosity about living systems instead of burying it under a mountain of disconnected facts. They engage students with what scientists know about the living world, how they know it, and what they still need to learn. By conveying the authors’ passions for biological research, the text helps students cultivate the mental habits of scientists. The accompanying Aplia for Biology complements the book by enabling students to go beyond rote memorization and gain a true understanding of key concepts. NEW TO THIS EDITION • NEW! “Think Like a Scientist” questions ask students to apply what they have just learned beyond the information presented in the text. They www.cengageasia.com 67 are incorporated into Experimental Research, Observational Research, and Closer Look figures as well as the Insights from the Molecular Revolution and Unanswered Questions boxes. • NEW! “Closer Look” figures integrate a major concept from the chapter into an important visual presentation, usually a complex or multistep diagram, and enables students to gain a better understanding of the concept. The key concept is stated briefly at the top and then illustrated in detail. The figures end with a Figure Summary and a Think Like a Scientist question. • NEW!

Russell, Reed College; Paul E. Hertz, Barnard College; Beverly McMillan Help students think and engage like scientists! BIOLOGY: THE DYNAMIC SCIENCE, 3E, International Edition allows students to develop a deep understanding of the core concepts in Biology and builds a strong foundation for future courses. The authors explain complex ideas clearly and describe how biologists collect and interpret evidence to test hypotheses about the living world. Russell, Hertz, and McMillan spark students’ curiosity about living systems instead of burying it under a mountain of disconnected facts. They engage students with what scientists know about the living world, how they know it, and what they still need to learn. By conveying the authors’ www.cengageasia.com 69 passions for biological research, the text helps students cultivate the mental habits of scientists. The accompanying Aplia for Biology complements the book by enabling students to go beyond rote memorization and gain a true understanding of key concepts. NEW TO THIS EDITION • NEW! “Closer Look” figures integrate a major concept from the chapter into an important visual presentation, usually a complex or multistep diagram, and enables students to gain a better understanding of the concept. The key concept is stated briefly at the top and then illustrated in detail. The figures end with a Figure Summary and a Think Like a Scientist question. • NEW! Chapter 19 on Genomes and Proteomes develops an understanding of how the growing field of genomics contributes to fundamental biological knowledge and to human health. • NEW! Plant diversity coverage has been expanded from one chapter to two chapters and offers greater depth. • NEW! The text has been revised and updated throughout to reflect the latest developments in biology. FEATURES • NEW! “Think Like a Scientist” questions ask students to apply what they have just learned beyond the information presented in the text. They are incorporated into Experimental Research, Observational Research, and Closer Look figures as well as the Insights from the Molecular Revolution and Unanswered Questions boxes. • Straightforward explanations of fundamental concepts presented from the evolutionary perspective bind the biological sciences together and enable students to see the big picture. Clarity of presentation, thoughtful organization, a seamless flow of topics within chapters, and spectacularly useful illustrations are central to the approach. • “Why It Matters” sections motivate the study of the chapter topic and capture student interest by telling the story of how a researcher arrived at a key insight or how biological research solved a major societal problem, explaining a fundamental 70 process, or elucidating a phenomenon. • “Insights from the Molecular Revolution” essays highlight how molecular technologies allow scientists to answer questions that they could not have even posed 20 or 30 years ago. • R e s e a r c h F i g u r e s ( R e s e a r c h M e t h o d , Observational Research, and Experimental Research) provide more detailed information about how biologists formulate and test specific hypotheses by gathering and interpreting data. • “Unanswered Questions” by experts in the field identify important unresolved issues relating to the chapter topic and describe cutting-edge research that will advance our knowledge in the future. Accompanying “Think Like a Scientist” questions encourage students to analyze the topic further. CONTENTS 1. Introduction to Biological Concepts and Research. UNIT I: MOLECULES AND CELLS.2.

A GUIDE TO THE COMMON EPIPHYTES AND MISTLETOES OF SINGAPORE Jean W. H. Yong; James Wang Wei; Joanne Y. T. Khew; Sheue Chiou Rong CONTENTS This book is the first to profile the unique epiphytic plant communities found in Singapore. The canopies of tropical trees are often festooned with luxuriant masses of delicate ferns, orchids and mistletoes; these veritable aerial gardens are one of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet. Yet, despite their prevalence in tropical urban landscapes, many of these fascinating aerial plants remain unappreciated and misunderstood.The first section of this book provides a concise scientific introduction to the biology of epiphytes and mistletoes, including their taxonomy, life-cycles, adaptive strategies and interactions with their hosts and arboreal fauna. Biology students will appreciate the clear and systematic treatise of the natural history of these two groups of aerial plants, while horticulturalists will benefit from the balanced discussion on suitable management approaches for these plants.The second section serves as a field guide for identifying 82 PrefaceContributing PartiesAbout the AuthorsAcknowledgements1.

Hobbs, University of Missouri, Columbia Cooperation and conflict, resource abundance and scarcity, poverty and prosperity, floods and droughts--all play roles in transforming the Earth’s surface. This insightful text presents world regional geography as a way to comprehend the world’s connections and continuous interplay between features of place, populations, resources, cultures, and political systems. Retaining its balanced cultural and physical geographic perspectives on the world’s eight regions, the sixth edition includes new illustrations, examples, and cross-references to show students how human activities and natural processes reshape places and landscapes. From current information on the geographies of energy and terrorism to the repercussions of China’s booming economy, WORLD REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY, 6e International Edition, presents a meaningful context to help students grasp the geographic issues underlying today’s headlines. The result? Students develop their own deeper understanding of how the world works--and what can happen when natural events or human decisions make things go wrong. NEW TO THIS EDITION • A new modular organization makes the text more flexible than ever, ideal for both one and two-term courses and for customization. • More than 30 new maps and 100 revised maps facilitate cultural and regional comparisons. Cartographer Andrew Dolan collaborated with the author to ensure that the maps work with text discussions to present information cartographically and to convey spatial relationships effectively. Maps are also available electronically in an animated, interactive format through the Earth Science Resource Center. • New content includes more geopolitical and economic material, for instance: China’s growing appetite for raw materials and its increasing political clout, and how these factors play out in every world region; Russia’s new confidence at home and abroad, built in part on surging oil wealth; and critical treatment of the Middle East, providing students with an understanding of the issues and implications of conflict there (related to hydropolitics as well as hydrocarbons). • Expanded discussion of the importance of physical geography in world affairs includes more coverage on marine and fresh water, tectonic processes, and human-environment interaction. FEATURES • An extensive, easy-to-use system of crossreferences helps students see how the diverse strands of human experience fit together.

This new area of collaborative research is a combination of all the scientific disciplines into one body of knowledge. This book brings together in one volume, the interactions that occur in the living and nonliving world. Whether learners are studying the earth sciences, agriculture, earth system science, or environmental science, this book provides an understanding of the physical and biological processes that exist on our planet. Science of Earth Systems introduces the processes that occur on our Earth by dividing the planet into five unique spheres: the exosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Together these five spheres cover all the principal interactions between the Earth’s physical and biological properties that make our planet unique. An overview of all of the principle physical, chemical, and biological systems that occur on the Earth, and how they are altered by human activity is included. Science of Earth Systems was written to meet the National Science Education Standards developed by the National Academy of Sciences for the Earth and Space Sciences, and can be easily aligned with Earth Science-related standards and curriculum taught throughout the United States.

In the implementation of these programs, forestry development will undergo major changes, especially in the shift in emphasis from timber production to the preservation and enhancement of the ecological environment. The six key programs will facilitate the five phases of transitions to realize striding development. This will form the basic framework of the theory of forestry development in the new century, signaling the industry’s entry into a new www.cengageasia.com phase of accelerated development which will propel the country toward sustainable growth. The theories, policies, and models discussed in this book will be useful to policy-makers, researchers, specialists, entrepreneurs, and consultants who are involved with the environmental and forestry industry. Its publication will play an important role in facilitating exchange and cooperation among the international forestry community and contribute greatly to a better environment for all. WATERSHEDS 4, 4E FEATURES • Theoretical research. The author describes the three ecological theories to achieve striding development in Chinas forestry.
