Biology for Life: A Guide to Our Living World is more than just a textbook. It is biology told through our daily experiences. Helping students attain the biology knowledge needed to make informed decisions in our everchanging world starts with helping them to identify biology in their lives. An exclusive partnership with National Geographic makes the text come alive \u2013 both with the inclusion of breathtaking images as well as discoveries of National Geographic Explorers from diverse backgrounds. The approach is student-friendly, putting the needs and perspectives of non-majors first. Study tips, coaching, and the author\u2019s own enthusiasm for the topics encourage student engagement and support learning, all with an eye towards answering the often-asked question: \u201Cwhy do I need to know this?\u201D
