Biology : How Life Works

Supporting every student for success in Biology.

Biology: How Life Works has been a revolutionary force for both instructors and students in the introductory biology course. It was the first truly comprehensive set of integrated tools for introductory biology, seamlessly incorporating powerful text, media, and assessment to create the best pedagogical experience for students.

Biology: How Life Works teaches biology as a story, emphasising how biology concepts connect with each other so that we better understand the wonder and beauty of life on Earth.

Biology is for everyone, whether students go on to become scientists, teachers, nurses, physicians, engineers, politicians, or informed citizens. How Life Works provides an inclusive set of resources that highlight the contributions of scientists with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to support all students.

Biology is relevant to our lives and How Life Works helps students understand the world around them and why biology is relevant to contemporary issues in their life.
