Product description

This best-selling introduction to the physical and life sciences emphasises concepts over computation and treats equations as a guide to thinking so the reader can connect ideas.

Conceptual Integrated Science covers physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and biology at a level appropriate for non-science students. The conceptual approach relates science to everyday life, is personal and direct, de-emphasises jargon, and emphasises central ideas. The conceptual ideas serve as the foundation supporting and integrating all the sciences.

Features

Pedagogy:
- Insights in the margins of the text provide interesting facts or pedagogical aids.
- “Check Yourself” questions and answers throughout the text help students gauge their level of comprehension as they read.
- Math Connection boxes allow students to understand scientific concepts in a quantitative manner. This feature is particularly useful for courses that have math requirements.
