TITLE: Biological Science, 6th North-American Edition c2017
AUTHOR(S): Scott Freeman, Kim Quillin, Lizabeth Allison, Michael Black, Greg Podgorski, Emily Taylor & Jeff Carmichael.
ISBN-13: 9780321976499
TEXTBOOK INFO: https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/PGM260331.html

COURSES: Introductory biology courses for biology majors.

PITCH: Uniquely engages biology students in active learning, scientific thinking, and skill development. Scott Freeman’s "Biological Science" is beloved for its Socratic narrative style, its emphasis on experimental evidence, and its dedication to active learning. Science education research indicates that true mastery of content requires a move away from memorization towards active engagement with the material in a focused, personal way. "Biological Science" is designed to equip students with strategies to assess their level of understanding and identify the types of cognitive skills that need improvement.

The 6th Edition continues to exemplify the principles outlined in the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education report. The text’s unique BioSkills section is now placed after Chapter 1 to help students develop key skills needed to become a scientist, new "Making Models" boxes guide learners in interpreting and creating models, and new "Put It all Together" case studies conclude each chapter and help students see connections between chapter content and current, real-world research questions. New, engaging content includes updated coverage of global climate change, advances in genomic editing, and recent insights into the evolution of land plants.

FEATURES: A Student-Centered Approach to the Study of Biology:
* Develop skills-based learning in biology
* Develop model-based reasoning skills
* Engage in scientific inquiry and active problem solving
* Emphasize conceptual understanding
* Develop skills for success in biology and beyond.

New to torrenting? On file sharing and SEEDING (BitTorrent protocol) (PDF, 18 kB)

SUSTAINABLE TORRENTING: YOU DOWNLOAD ONE COPY OF THE DATA FILE FROM THE SHARING SWARM OF CARING USERS AND YOU UPLOAD - SEED - (AT LEAST) ONE COPY TO THE SWARM IN RETURN TO CARE FOR OTHER USERS.

Apart from Google that crawls the whole web and downlists (if not delists) torrent links, multi-metasearch engines aiosearch.com, torrentz2.eu, and re-indexers BitTorrent Database, zooqle.com will help you in your search for torrents (and only torrents) floating in torrent space. You can search these sites by keyword(s) from title or author's name and, with some, by hash code.

Remember that, once created, torrents never cease to exist even when de-indexed, DMCA'd or left for dead - unseeded. And that a torrent listed with no seeds on a particular set of trackers is not necessarily a dead torrent (Good critters inhabit the DHT-PEX layer though they aren't accounted for in torrent stats).
