One of the best ways for your students to succeed in their biology course is through hands-on lab experience. With its 47 lab exercises and hundreds of color photos and illustrations, the LABORATORY MANUAL FOR NON-MAJORS BIOLOGY, 6E,International Edition is your students' guide to a better understanding of biology. Most exercises can be completed within two hours, and answers to the exercises are included in the Instructor's Manual. The perfect companion to Starr and Taggart's BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, International Edition, as well as Starr's BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, International Edition, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW, International Edition this lab manual can also be used with any introductory biology text.
