Explore Human Biology in Relation to Current Issues

Through his teaching, his textbook, and his online blog, award-winning teacher Michael D. Johnson sparks interest in human biology by connecting basic biology to real-world issues that are relevant to students’ lives.  Using a storytelling approach and extensive online support, Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues 8th Edition not only demystifies how the human body works but also drives students to become a better, more discerning consumer of health and science information.  Each chapter opens with Johnson’s popular “Current Issues” essays, and within each chapter, “BlogInFocus” references direct readers to his frequently-updated blog for breaking human biology-related news.
