Abstract
Cells to Civilizations: The Principles of Change That Shape Life. By Enrico Coen. 2012. Princeton University Press. (Cloth: ISBN 9780691149677; ebook: ISBN 9781400841653). 322 pp. Cloth. $29.95.

Although it was far from easy summer reading, this was worth the time I spent with it. The writing is clear and logical, the author’s ideas thought-provoking and engaging. The examples that are used throughout the …
期刊介绍:
The American Biology Teacher is an award winning and peer-refereed professional journal for K-16 biology teachers. Articles include topics such as modern biology content, biology teaching strategies for both the classroom and laboratory, field activities, and a wide range of assistance for application and professional development. Each issue features reviews of books, classroom technology products, and "Biology Today." Published 9 times a year, the journal also covers the social and ethical implications of biology and ways to incorporate such concerns into instructional programs.
